I love town halls. I’ve done more than 70 since January, and I’m glad to have a television audience be a part of them. Fox News has invited me to do a town hall, but I’m turning them down—here’s why... — PolitiTweet.org

Authoritarian tendencies. Gleefully undermining democracy. Corruption. No wonder Viktor Orbán was so warmly welcomed by Donald Trump yesterday. https://t.co/JellEw97pY — PolitiTweet.org

Betsy DeVos is the worst Secretary of Education we’ve seen. Instead of championing our students, she protects for-profit colleges that break the law. So I’m making a pledge: In a Warren administration, the Secretary of Education will be a former public school teacher. https://t.co/fz4uiMQa7N — PolitiTweet.org

I grew up on the ragged edge of the middle class. My family didn’t have money for a college application—let alone college. I dropped out of school at 19 to get married. My second chance was a commuter college that cost $50 a semester—and I hung on for dear life. https://t.co/wNbsweMzEd — PolitiTweet.org

When pharmaceutical CEOs pad their pockets and commit criminal negligence while pushing drugs, they should go to jail. — PolitiTweet.org

Family farmers across the country are being squeezed by the Trump administration’s terrible policies. Our farmers deserve better. — PolitiTweet.org

Feeling inspired after the #AFTVotes town hall this afternoon. I’ll always stand behind our teachers and their right to unionize. Thank you @AFTunion and @rweingarten for letting me be part of today’s powerful conversation. https://t.co/YMPkeMJZAc — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren @ewarren

Thank you for the questions and powerful conversation about teaching in America. — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren @ewarren

We need a Secretary of Education who actually cares about our teachers and students. — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren @ewarren

In my administration, the Secretary of Education will be a former public school teacher who is committed to public education. Add your name if you agree that we need to replace Betsy DeVos with someone who actually fights for our kids. https://t.co/wiqD1hpLmk — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren @ewarren

The next Secretary of Education should be a former public school teacher—someone who will fight for students and not for shady, for-profit colleges. https://t.co/10KYDW6E5O — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren @ewarren

I’ll be speaking at the #AFTVotes town hall about how we can level the playing field for America’s public school teachers. Tune in at 4:30 PM ET today. — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren @ewarren

And we need to make it easier to join a union. Unions give teachers—and all workers—power in negotiations over the long run. That's good for teachers, good for students, and good for making sure we put the resources we need directly into our schools. — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren @ewarren

My Secretary of Education will be someone with real teaching experience, who understands how low pay, tattered textbooks and crumbling classrooms affect educators and students. Someone who understands the crushing burden of student debt and will fight back. — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren @ewarren

But Betsy DeVos is just a symptom of a badly broken system. We’re up against powerful forces, and to win, we need big structural change. So here’s my plan: Under a Warren administration, the Secretary of Education will be a public school teacher. https://t.co/4M33NGTNJt — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren @ewarren

There's no greater example of how we're failing students and teachers than Betsy DeVos, the worst Secretary of Education we’ve seen. Appointed despite her conflicts of interest, she's spent her time protecting for-profit colleges that break the law and cheat students. — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren @ewarren

America’s teachers are being crushed. Too many teachers are working multiple jobs, drowning in student debt, and struggling to teach on shoestring budgets and insulting salaries. America is failing our teachers—and when we fail our teachers, we fail our future. — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren @ewarren

Ever since I was little, I wanted to be a teacher. My 2nd grade teacher, Mrs. Lee, was the first person to tell me that I could be a teacher too. And thanks to a high quality, public education, I did become a teacher. I want kids today to have the same opportunities I did. — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren @ewarren

I want to make it clear during #MilitaryAppreciationMonth: Those who serve our country deserve a safe, affordable place to live—for themselves and their families. My plan to improve our military housing would protect families from abuse and hold private developers accountable. https://t.co/cwHLjhDQJB — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren @ewarren

Big tech companies like Facebook have too much power over our economy, our society, and our democracy. And when they buy out their competition, they stifle innovation and face less pressure to protect our privacy. That's why we need to #BreakUpBigTech. https://t.co/2rWT0wJ8vD — PolitiTweet.org

We’ve had over 70 town halls and we do a selfie line after each one. Not only is it fun, it’s when I get to listen to people’s stories. I’m so glad I got to take my 20,000th selfie yesterday with Umeirra in Cincinnati. https://t.co/5yQFAlc41A — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren @ewarren

Black moms are dying from childbirth-related causes at rates 3-4 times higher than white moms—and structural racism is the root cause of this problem. We need to call it out, and then fight back. https://t.co/NQfVwgd87f — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren @ewarren

On #MothersDay, I’m thinking about Black and Brown moms in our country. Women of color are dying from pregnancy and childbirth-related causes at staggering rates and it is the direct result of institutional and structural racism. We need to call it out and address it head on. https://t.co/fPVbAZSKzz — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren @ewarren

My mother didn’t have much, but she knew that her kids had a fighting chance to build a future. Today, not every family has that fighting chance. That’s what I’m fighting for to honor my mother, on Mother’s Day and every day. https://t.co/DUi5ZcVI0h — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren @ewarren

For a long time, I thought that was just a story about my mother. And then years later, I came to understand that it's a story about millions of Americans who—no matter how scared they are—reach down, dig deep, find it, and pull up what they need to take care of the family. — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren @ewarren

I watched her while she pulled it together, put that dress on, put on her high heels, blew her nose, walked to Sears, and got a minimum wage job. And that minimum wage job saved our house, but more importantly, it saved our family. That story is written on my heart. — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren @ewarren

Spread out on the bed was a black dress. It was that one dress that every mom had—it only came out for weddings, funerals, and graduations. She kept saying, “We will not lose this house. We will not lose this house.” She’d never worked outside the home, and she was terrified. — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren @ewarren

Happy #MothersDay! Today, I’m honoring my mother. One morning after my daddy’s heart attack, I remember standing in their bedroom. Her face was red and puffy, with wadded-up tissues next to her. We’d just lost our family station wagon. Our house was next. — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren @ewarren

Yay! Thanks for coming today and taking a selfie with me, Umeirra. — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren @ewarren

We’ve had over 70 town halls and we do a selfie line after each one. Not only is it fun, it’s when I get to listen to people’s stories. I’m so glad I got to take my 20,000th selfie today with Umeirra in Columbus. https://t.co/Re8McCa4pA — PolitiTweet.org
