Eight years ago today, 20 children and six educators were killed at Sandy Hook. On average, every day 100 people are killed in the U.S. by a gun. We can protect our communities with commonsense reform—and I’ll keep standing up to the NRA to fight for gun safety. — PolitiTweet.org

We need to raise the minimum wage to $15—and the Biden-Harris administration can do that on Day One for all federal contractors. — PolitiTweet.org

This is going to be fun—I’m joining members of Hamilton’s original Broadway cast this Sunday at 8:30 p.m. ET for a live event to raise money so we can win Georgia’s Senate runoffs. Chip in any amount to tune in! https://t.co/Kiqk5jGZXj #HamFam https://t.co/LIamI8KAOh — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren @ewarren

We must abolish the death penalty. Our criminal justice system has a long history of mistakes when it comes to capital punishment—and Black and Brown people, especially, have paid the price. — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren @ewarren

Working people are struggling, but billionaires are thriving. We need our government to look out for everyone—not just a thin slice at the top. https://t.co/bvlohRwvHz — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren @ewarren

People are hurting. They need help now. But Republicans want to slash unemployment benefits, pinch pennies over aid to state and local governments that are laying off teachers and firefighters, and put the profits of giant corporations over worker safety. It’s just plain wrong. — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren @ewarren

Right now, absurd loopholes in a broken system make it impossible to discharge student loan debt in bankruptcy. I’ve got a plan to fix it. https://t.co/1cE5dBoadI — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren @ewarren

Everyone—not just the wealthy and well-connected—should be able to get high-quality care. That’s true during a pandemic, but it’s also true during any other time. Health care is a basic human right. https://t.co/EgJL6r55Wh — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren @ewarren

We need to put people first in tackling the pandemic and the economic crisis in the short term—and rebuilding our economy in the long term. Nibbling around the edges won’t cut it. We need big, structural change. — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren @ewarren

No one should “fret” about a consumer watchdog—unless they’re trying to cheat consumers. https://t.co/ZdmYP3OWg8 — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren @ewarren

More competition means more options for consumers and content creators, and more pressure on companies like Facebook to address the glaring problems with their businesses. Healthy competition can solve a lot of problems and it’s how we can protect the future of the Internet. — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren @ewarren

I want a government that makes sure everybody—even the biggest and most powerful companies in America—plays by the rules. And I want to make sure that the next generation of great American tech companies can flourish. — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren @ewarren

And they’ve wielded that power over everything—over our economy, our society, and our democracy. They’ve bulldozed competition, used our private information for profit, and tilted the playing field. And in the process, they have hurt small businesses and stifled innovation. — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren @ewarren

Facebook is doing pretty well right now. They've acquired potential competitors WhatsApp and Instagram. More than 85% of all social networking traffic goes through sites owned or operated by Facebook. They've got a lot of power—and face little competition or accountability. — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren @ewarren

For nearly two years now, I’ve been calling to #BreakUpBigTech—including Facebook. I’d said before that the purchases of WhatsApp and Instagram should never have been approved and need to be reversed. Today, the FTC and 48 states agreed. https://t.co/asel3QGCbD — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren @ewarren

Bankruptcy laws affect Americans when they need it most. I’ll be fighting to make this plan a reality because government should be on the side of the people—but I can’t do it alone. We need to raise our voices as a grassroots movement. — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren @ewarren

It will also help address shameful racial and gender disparities in bankruptcy. Families of color have far less wealth than white families on average, and far more debt. And to make matters worse, families of color are far more likely to be abused by predatory lending practices. — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren @ewarren

My bill will make it easier for people being crushed by debt to get relief, end the absurd loopholes that make it impossible to discharge student loan debt in bankruptcy, close loopholes that allow the wealthy and corporate creditors to abuse bankruptcy, and more. — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren @ewarren

But right now, our bankruptcy system isn't working for working families. Many individuals and families who should file for bankruptcy don't, and many who do encounter obstacles that prevent them from getting the financial relief they need. — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren @ewarren

Data show that families who declare bankruptcy aren’t reckless or irresponsible—90% declare bankruptcy for one of three reasons: a job loss, a medical problem, or a family breakup. This has been a problem for decades, and the pandemic will likely make it worse. — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren @ewarren

Here’s a lingering effect COVID-19 will likely have on our economy: a rise in bankruptcies. The number of people filing for bankruptcy could hit records next year. Let’s talk about how my bill to overhaul consumer bankruptcy rules will help Americans get back on their feet: https://t.co/howhKiEMby — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren @ewarren

We don’t have to do this. We don’t have to let this crisis keep kicking families in the teeth. We can make sure people get meaningful relief—and we must. https://t.co/TIKAoZlZ5g — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren @ewarren

I talked with dozens of student journalists from across the country about how we can boost our economy and deliver on the promise of opportunity by broadly canceling student loan debt. We need to get this done. https://t.co/dZxxKEp1jX — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren @ewarren

Let’s be clear: We can’t sacrifice the rights of people who’ve been made sick or killed by their employers by passing a pro-corporate liability shield. Republicans in Congress need to focus on helping families, not giving big businesses a pass for putting people in danger. — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren @ewarren

In less than 20 days emergency unemployment benefits expire. This economic crisis is too dire to not take action. We need real relief now. — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren @ewarren

We know the pandemic has had a disproportionate impact on communities of color, but we don’t know yet if relief is reaching the communities that are most impacted. This data is important. https://t.co/zVPbuBUfcG — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren @ewarren

Just imagine what we can get done if Democrats take back the Senate. Tomorrow, I’m hosting a grassroots fundraiser for Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock. Chip in to join: https://t.co/vPwjj0K4tB — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren @ewarren

Up to 40% of people with student loan debt weren’t able to graduate, so now, they’re in a nearly impossible situation—no diploma to boost their earnings, and a debt load they simply cannot manage. We can and must relieve this burden. https://t.co/IZhe69HtG7 — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren @ewarren

Wearing a mask isn’t controversial or political. It’s a simple way to protect yourself and others. Wear a mask. It will save lives. — PolitiTweet.org
