That’s right, Sara. We’re in this fight together. — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren @ewarren

I agree with Lori @LightfootForChi all the way. The Fair Workweek Ordinance would help level the playing field for working families in Chicago. Thank you for sharing your mother’s story! https://t.co/RV7sCuj6Nw — PolitiTweet.org

I had a great time visiting the @GoIUPAT painters training facility. Unions built the middle class—and unions will rebuild the middle class. I'm proud to be fighting alongside you! https://t.co/TQLahosk4p — PolitiTweet.org

@clairemdee Thank you so much, Claire. I’m grateful for your time and your support! — PolitiTweet.org

For decades, Washington has lived by one rule: If it’s good for Wall Street, it’s good for the economy. Today in Sioux City, Iowa, I talked about my new plan to change that rule. https://t.co/a0gmZGMfmJ — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren @ewarren

Wall Street is scared. That’s why the big banks are building a “political machine” to keep Washington in their vice grip. I’m fighting back—and I’ve got a new plan to end Wall Street’s stranglehold on our economy. https://t.co/utOZqx5Aww — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren @ewarren

Grateful for another chance to talk about our grassroots movement at @CNN’s Democratic presidential debate on July 30th. I’m fired up for big, structural change—let’s do this! — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren @ewarren

Let’s be real. Private equity firms are like vampires—bleeding companies dry and walking away enriched. My new plan reigns in these monsters to save our economy. https://t.co/jzLI7NLsgz — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren @ewarren

As I head back to Iowa today, I’m thinking about farmers who have faced extreme flooding and billions in damage to their communities this year. Climate change is real and it’s here. Here's just one of my plans to make a #GreenNewDeal a reality: https://t.co/d4Nke32oE1 https://t.co/D4pmsRwBV0 — PolitiTweet.org

When I was a kid, a minimum-wage job could support a family of three. Today it won’t keep a mom and her baby out of poverty. I’m glad to see the House pass the #RaiseTheWageAct to increase the federal minimum wage to $15 an hour. Now the Senate must act. — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren @ewarren

I’m glad to see @AndreaSCousins elected as chair of @TheDLCC board! We’ll need her trailblazing leadership heading into 2020 as we work to elect Democrats up and down the ballot. — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren @ewarren

@SenGillibrand Thank you @SenGillibrand—I'm so proud to be fighting alongside you! — PolitiTweet.org

Students shouldn’t have to worry about going hungry. Our new bill will help the nearly one in three college students who are food insecure. — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren @ewarren

Read this thread. These tactics make a handful of Wall Street managers very rich, but are costing thousands of people their jobs, putting valuable companies out of business, and hurting communities across the country. — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren @ewarren

#IStandWithIlhan against attacks from this racist president, and we should all remember this definition of patriotism. — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren @ewarren

Letting financial firms run wild is undermining our economy. I am done with Washington ignoring the evidence and acting as if boosting Wall Street helps families. It's time to stop the looting, boost wages, grow our economy, and rein in Wall Street. — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren @ewarren

I’ve spent a lot of my career studying how financial firms make money by tricking and trapping families. And after I proposed a new federal agency to protect consumers, I spent nearly a year setting up the @CFPB and helping write new rules to crack down on financial scams. — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren @ewarren

Finally, Wall Street sucks money away from companies that need it to grow. My Accountable Capitalism Act would end big companies catering to the short-term interests of Wall Street and let our companies focus on long-term growth and their obligations to workers. — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren @ewarren

Too many families face a choice of paying a late fee on their bills, an overdraft fee to the bank, or a sky-high interest rate to a payday lender while waiting on checks. The government should adopt real-time payment technology so families don't have to wait for checks to clear. — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren @ewarren

I’ve spent years advocating for postal banking—allowing the United States Postal Service to partner with local community banks and credit unions to provide access to low-cost, basic banking services. As President, I’ll make it happen by appointing people committed to the cause. — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren @ewarren

It's also time to push our financial system back to its core purpose—giving people a place to put their money & connecting savers with borrowers. Our system doesn’t serve a huge slice of the country: 25% of American households don’t have adequate access to a simple bank account. — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren @ewarren

And we need to end the system where bankers can make huge bonuses if risky bets pay off but lose nothing if they fail. I'll appoint regulators who will impose tough new rules to rein in banker pay. — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren @ewarren

First, we should enact my 21st Century Glass-Steagall Act, which rebuilds the wall between commercial and investment banks and ends taxpayer subsidies for excessive risk-taking and speculation. — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren @ewarren

Next, my plan would address the incentives that fuel useless speculation that can make bankers rich but undermines the rest of the economy. Washington has encouraged this speculation with giveaways, subsidies, and lax rules. I want to end these practices immediately. — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren @ewarren

My plan starts by ending this looting and fundamentally changing the industry. Private equity firms will only make money if the company succeeds. And if they make bad investments, they'll be held accountable instead of walking away with millions. — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren @ewarren

Just look at the private equity industry. They buy companies and bleed them dry. And when the company fails, the Wall Street guys walk away with millions while workers are left holding the bag. It's legalized looting. — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren @ewarren

Study after study shows that, past a certain point, a growing financial sector hurts the rest of the economy by extracting money from it. And America is way past that point. — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren @ewarren

For decades, Washington has lived by a simple rule: If it’s good for Wall Street, it’s good for the economy. But it just isn’t true. Big banks are making record profits and handing out huge bonuses as average wages barely budge. — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren @ewarren

Wall Street is looting the economy—and Washington is helping them do it. I’m tired of big financial firms padding their own pockets while the rest of the economy suffers, and that’s why I’ve got a plan to end it: https://t.co/klbgd2nFgV — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren @ewarren

We must call out those who remain silent. We must initiate impeachment proceedings to hold him accountable. And we must build an unstoppable grassroots movement that resoundingly defeats not just Trump, but complicit Republicans everywhere. — PolitiTweet.org
