Don Tapia, a former electrical product company chairman, was nominated to be our ambassador to Jamaica—a country he had not visited for about 20 years—after donating $100,000 to Trump’s inauguration. https://t.co/v7xv1pmDkv — PolitiTweet.org

Trump nominated Kelly Knight Craft, a “gold-level” member at Trump’s hotels and whose husband donated $1 million to Trump’s inauguration, as our ambassador to Canada. She spent more than half of her time outside Canada, so Trump rewarded her by nominating her to be UN ambassador. https://t.co/TEW7Hsp0Of — PolitiTweet.org

Doug Manchester, a real estate executive who was accused of inappropriate behavior with female employees working for the newspaper he owned, donated $1 million to Trump’s inaugural committee. His nomination for ambassador to the Bahamas is still pending. https://t.co/01utObUkpk — PolitiTweet.org

Robert “Woody” Johnson, the owner of the New York Jets who participated in a tax scheme that cost the U.S. Treasury an estimated $300 million, donated $1 million to Trump’s inaugural committee. He’s currently the ambassador to the United Kingdom. https://t.co/JwAkYvWBa4 — PolitiTweet.org

Gordon Sondland, Donald Trump’s ambassador to the EU, who was blocked from testifying before Congress last week, got his job after donating $1 million to Trump’s inaugural committee. https://t.co/7FWVIgH7pk — PolitiTweet.org

Here are just a few of Trump’s unqualified ambassador-donors. Together, these wealthy donors gave an average of nearly $450,000 to Trump’s Inaugural committee—which is now under federal investigation. — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren @ewarren

For decades, administrations of both political parties appointed big donors as ambassadors. They're usually not experts in the country, foreign policy—or anything else relevant to the job. But Donald Trump perfected the act of selling swanky diplomatic posts to rich buffoons. — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren @ewarren

I don't spend call time asking rich donors to throw big dollar fundraisers or underwrite my campaign. My call time is spent with grassroots donors, thanking them for chipping in whatever they can. Mind if I make just a few more? https://t.co/TDo9EkNpA1 — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren @ewarren

Our democracy shouldn’t be bought and paid for by the wealthy and powerful. It belongs to all of us. Getting big money out of politics is a critical part of fighting corruption and making the big, structural change that we need. — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren @ewarren

Finally, we need to put power back in the hands of the people. So I will establish a public financing program that would give a 6-1 match for small dollar contributions to candidates and parties. And I'll lower the limits for how much individuals can contribute to campaigns. — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren @ewarren

We need to expand disclosure of fundraising and spending. The system of money for influence is helped at every stage by secrecy. We need to require additional disclosures by presidential campaigns, update laws for online political advertising, and bring dark money into the light. — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren @ewarren

I'll start by ending the corrupt system of money for influence. We must pass a constitutional amendment to overturn the Supreme Court’s disastrous decisions in Citizens United and Buckley v. Valeo. But we can and must also pass new campaign finance laws to shut down corruption. — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren @ewarren

This is a start, but voluntary changes aren’t going to be enough to clean up the corruption in our elections. That’s why when I’m president, I’ll implement a comprehensive plan to permanently eliminate big money from our politics and return our democracy to the people. — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren @ewarren

Voters have a right to know who is buying access and recognition with the possible future leaders of our party—and how much it costs. So I’m also calling on every candidate in this race to disclose any donor or fundraiser who has a special title on their campaign. — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren @ewarren

Today, I’m announcing that in addition to these policies, I’m not going to take any contributions over $200 from executives at big tech companies, big banks, private equity firms, or hedge funds. My campaign is and will continue to be a grassroots campaign. — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren @ewarren

My campaign doesn’t take money from federal lobbyists or PACs, and I don't take contributions over $200 from fossil fuel or big pharma executives. No call time with rich donors or giving them special access. And when I’m the Democratic nominee, that won't change. — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren @ewarren

Corruption in Washington is holding back progress—and much of it is perfectly legal thanks to the Supreme Court. It’s time to get big money out of politics and put power back in the hands of the people—and I've got a plan for that. https://t.co/wtT7JacMpx — PolitiTweet.org

Edith Espinal has lived in the United States for decades, raising a family and building a community. And the Trump administration wants to deport her Stay strong, @LetEdithStay. When I'm president, I will protect asylum seekers. https://t.co/jEfNFIn8Gj — PolitiTweet.org

I really do love my boa! Thanks @SheaCoulee and @NVforWarren—I had so much fun at Las Vegas Pride with you. — PolitiTweet.org

Black and Latinx families are more likely to live in neighborhoods with higher concentrations of air pollution than white families. Environmental justice must be at the center of our response to climate change. https://t.co/D3qBZPO96u https://t.co/QACvTnIkZX — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren @ewarren

Just over six months ago, the Trump administration began implementing Trump's shameful ban on transgender service members. When I am president, I will reverse this policy on day one. https://t.co/achCAgit2s — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren @ewarren

We must fulfill our trust and treaty obligations to Tribal Nations. We must protect Tribal sovereignty and self-determination. And we have to go even further to empower indigenous peoples to build stronger communities and a brighter future. https://t.co/WKMjPKTvDu — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren @ewarren

The story of America’s mistreatment of indigenous peoples is long and painful. And yet, Native communities have proven resilient. We owe them our respect—and we must honor our government's commitments and promises to them. #IndigenousPeoplesDay — PolitiTweet.org

Sorry, @RobCorddry! Thanks for joining me on @ColbertLateShow. I'll miss seeing you and @TheRock on @BallersHBO. Congratulations on five incredible seasons! https://t.co/bOTM0HZYol — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren @ewarren

In the community of Rosemont in Charleston, South Carolina, climate change and a century of industrial pollution has hit families of color first and worst. I have a plan to fight our crisis of environmental injustice. https://t.co/ufNAF7tk5p — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren @ewarren

Atatiana Jefferson should still be alive. We need real reform, now—including federal standards for the use of force that incorporate proven strategies like de-escalation, verbal warning requirements, and the use of non-lethal alternatives. https://t.co/JqaJtXRuPd — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren @ewarren

Companies shifted their resources and strategies because of Facebook's inflated metrics, costing them money and contributing to job losses. We need to do a lot more to hold Facebook accountable. https://t.co/zGuV5PZJMc — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren @ewarren

Thank you, @TheJeffreyMarsh. I want to make sure everyone's needs are reflected in my plans, and that your voices are uplifted. Thanks for being on #TeamWarren. — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren @ewarren

Let’s be clear: 2020 is our chance to root out corruption in Washington and return power to the people. But that means we’ll need everyone pitching in to keep building our movement. Donate to our grassroots campaign, and let’s do this together. https://t.co/2jxHu0JvDF — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren @ewarren

You’re making my point here. It’s up to you whether you take money to promote lies. You can be in the disinformation-for-profit business, or you can hold yourself to some standards. In fact, those standards were in your policy. Why the change? — PolitiTweet.org
