Elizabeth Warren did not mean to overwhelm Morgan: https://t.co/4jDLKJYrjF — PolitiTweet.org

The story Warren tells on the stump about what happened to her when she was 19, making the distinction between what would have been a “good life” and her “dream” >> https://t.co/uPIa2JfC9e — PolitiTweet.org

@alivitali @thomaskaplan And here's how Warren answered a question from a student about how she'd encourage students to get involved in politics: "Do it. Volunteer. Show up." https://t.co/ux6Sj0bcuo — PolitiTweet.org

MJ Lee @mj_lee

@alivitali Asked by @thomaskaplan when she decided to put out a plan of her own on how to pay for Medicare for All, Warren repeats that she's been "working on the financing part of this for a long time now" and that "it will be out soon." — PolitiTweet.org

MJ Lee @mj_lee

When @alivitali asked why she reframes the taxes Q to total cost of M4A, Warren said she's meeting people all the time who tell her about sky-rocketing premiums, deductibles & copays. Says focus should be "how much people have to reach in their pockets to pay for health care." — PolitiTweet.org

MJ Lee @mj_lee

Asked about Sen. Bennet saying on CNN today that she hasn't been "honest" about Medicare for All, Warren wouldn't engage Bennet. Warren: "Everyone who’s running for president knows that American families across this country are getting crushed by the cost of medical care" — PolitiTweet.org

MJ Lee @mj_lee

Warren on Zuckerberg: "He runs a company that has too much political power. They already have way too much influence in Washington, and they are helping drive every conversation in a way that will protect Mark Zuckerberg and his company, but that undermines our democracy." — PolitiTweet.org

MJ Lee @mj_lee

Also, Warren was delighted to get a question about Mark Zuckerberg, saying: "Oh, Mark Zuckerberg!" as reporter began their Q. She was asked about Zuckerberg making hiring recommendations to Buttigieg campaign. — PolitiTweet.org

MJ Lee @mj_lee

Asked about Hillary Clinton recently being back in the news (on Trump's letter to Turkish president; about Tulsi Gabbard), Warren didn't engage: "I don't have any comment on that." — PolitiTweet.org

MJ Lee @mj_lee

On school safety and whether grants should be redirected towards mental health support: Warren: "I think we need to direct the resources where they are most effective... I see our problem in America as a gun violence problem." — PolitiTweet.org

MJ Lee @mj_lee

Some of the Qs Warren answered: To your critics who say the wealth tax is not going to be enough to fund all of these plans, what do you say? Warren: "Do the math. It clearly is enough." Says she's consulted with tax experts and economists — PolitiTweet.org

MJ Lee @mj_lee

Warren ultimately took four questions from national reporters about Medicare for All, as well as Hillary Clinton's Tulsi Gabbard comments and Mark Zuckerberg. — PolitiTweet.org

MJ Lee @mj_lee

Interesting note from Warren's gaggle with reporters just now in Des Moines: She asked the group six times if anyone had questions about public education (she put out a plan on that today) as reporters tried to ask her about Medicare for All. — PolitiTweet.org

A student who writes for the school paper, The Rider Roundup, says they’ll be interviewing Warren this afternoon. — PolitiTweet.org

MJ Lee @mj_lee

Photo line with Warren in progress at this high school in Des Moines. One sophomore tells me the assembly was a mix of students from all grades. What did he think of Warren? “Thought she had some good ideas.” https://t.co/1rh4pEZNaF — PolitiTweet.org

MJ Lee @mj_lee

Notably, Warren specifically says here in Des Moines that "the least expensive way" to fix the country's broken health care system is Medicare for All. — PolitiTweet.org

MJ Lee @mj_lee

After condensed stump speech, Warren is taking Qs from students. One student asked her a multi-part Q (abortion, immigration, health care etc.) -- Warren says "health care is a basic human right" and says she supports Medicare for All -- doesn't go into her forthcoming plan — PolitiTweet.org

Warren is speaking at Des Moines Roosevelt High School. Kicks off her remarks by saying she's happy to be speaking at a school named after the first president to break up big corporations. (As a sidenote, it is only mildly stressful to be at a HS assembly 😬) https://t.co/AqPLMPY1IE — PolitiTweet.org
