@joanwalsh Thanks! A conversation I’ve thought about a bunch — PolitiTweet.org

MJ Lee @mj_lee

The kicker of my story is one of the most memorable conversations I’ve had with a voter. I recently asked a man in his 70s if he thought describing a woman as “angry” and “condescending” as Biden had done w/ Warren was sexist. Here’s that exchange: https://t.co/6FkJINNTT8 https://t.co/ScRJONrRTF — PolitiTweet.org

Warren says men have told her her whole life to “sit down” and that it’s a dynamic in the current campaign; she’s lamenting that women have been “pushed out” of the 2020 race; and she’s opened up about her first marriage, divorce and disappointing her mom. https://t.co/6FkJINNTT8 — PolitiTweet.org

New from me: As her female rivals have been leaving the 2020 race one by one, Elizabeth Warren is emphasizing her own gender, and gender inequality in politics, more and more. With a flashback to her very first Iowa campaign trip almost a year(!) ago... https://t.co/yrYNXVXOMr — PolitiTweet.org

LFG is so clearly going to become the new Warren campaign motto. @mPinoe in her endorsement phone call to Warren: “We have a little saying on the National Team that we like to say. I don’t know if you can cuss on here, but it’s LFG.” Warren: “Alright, Megan. You and me. LFG." — PolitiTweet.org

Warren, the lone female top-tier candidate in the Democratic race, enthusiastically answers “yes” when asked if she’s sensing that men are telling her to “sit down” in this election > — PolitiTweet.org

Warren will also call out Michael Bloomberg as a way to pitch her "wealth tax," which she says "isn't about being punitive or denigrating success" > https://t.co/uT6AcDLLhS — PolitiTweet.org

MJ Lee @mj_lee

In what appears to be a likely dig at Buttigieg, Warren will also say she's "not betting my agenda on the naive hope that if Democrats adopt Republican critiques of progressive policies or make vague calls for unity that somehow the wealthy and well-connected will stand down." — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren is set to deliver what the campaign is billing an economic speech in New Hampshire this morning -- but it is also a political speech through and through, drawing contrasts with/hitting Pete Buttigieg and Joe Biden, and also name-checking Mike Bloomberg — PolitiTweet.org

Warren gets a running mate question. She says it would be “presumptuous” to name names now given voting hasn’t even started but that wants someone who will really be fully in the fight with her because “it will be hard” https://t.co/heiOOM9RAH — PolitiTweet.org

A question I’ve not heard before — what do you do in your own home to combat the climate crisis? Warren says she is careful about avoiding single-use plastics and purchasing energy-efficient appliances, she and Bruce have just one car and solar panels on their house — PolitiTweet.org
