Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren

Congress needs to stand up to the #ChamberOfCarbon. And companies need to start walking the talk. If they really support efforts to combat climate change, they shouldn’t keep funneling money to the @USChamber while Big Oil uses it to do its dirty work. https://t.co/lsipUDWCbj — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren

The @USChamber has spent millions since 2010 to support climate-denying Republicans. But when @SenWhitehouse and I surveyed the Chamber’s board members, not a single one would endorse the org’s anti-climate position. So where’s the money coming from? https://t.co/N6aXlFOWuB — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren

The #CAREact is the most ambitious legislation ever introduced in Congress to confront the opioid epidemic, & that's why 200+ organizations support this bill. It’s long past time for the federal government to step up & take action. https://t.co/1FFvxAv9u7 — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren

Construction workers are 6 times more likely to die of opioid overdoses than any other job, so the #CAREact has a new grant program to help high-risk workers. I’m proud that labor groups including the @AFLCIO & @NABTU support our bill to fight this crisis. https://t.co/FE6BNi6E7n — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren

In Massachusetts, 1 in 4 people know someone who has died of an opioid overdose – but our communities just don’t have the resources to help everyone who needs it. Under our #CAREact, MA would receive $120.1 million to fight substance use disorders & the opioid epidemic. https://t.co/CKna3XG5P1 — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren

30 years ago, the Ryan White CARE Act transformed the fight against HIV/AIDS. Our new #CAREact to fight the opioid crisis is modeled on that bill – & invests $100 billion in states & local communities for prevention, treatment, & recovery services. https://t.co/yotQ1IA8dq — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren

130 Americans die every day from an opioid overdose. That’s like a plane crash every day. This is a public health emergency – & @RepCummings & I have a bold plan to fight it. #CAREact https://t.co/xMiYgsHRzM — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren

A year ago today, the Trump admin made family separation the official policy of the US. I saw firsthand how that policy was cruelly carried out – children separated from their mothers in detention. We won't stop fighting #UntilEveryFamilyIsReunited. https://t.co/JDqgTvNobb — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren

Enough is enough. Credit reporting agencies like @Equifax collect our information without our permission. If they allow that information to get stolen, they need to be held accountable. My colleagues & I urged the @FTC & the @CFPB to do just that. https://t.co/XcPk7oxULN — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren

.@Equifax didn’t just allow the breach to happen. It also initially refused to come clean with the public & help consumers protect themselves. And according to a new Congressional report, the company is STILL failing consumers months later. https://t.co/YIpFAELakB — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren

.@Equifax let hackers steal personal info from almost 150 million Americans. If this bill had been the law before the breach, the company would have paid at least $1.5 billion in fines, half of which would have gone straight back to affected consumers. https://t.co/GTugkoudIw — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren

It’s been nearly 2 years since the #EquifaxBreach – & Congress still hasn’t acted to protect consumers or prevent the next breach. So @MarkWarner @RepCummings, @CongressmanRaja & I are reintroducing a bill to impose massive, mandatory fines when companies expose personal data. https://t.co/3AglWEMWMj — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren

You and I both took an oath, @SenateMajLdr McConnell. To defend the Constitution of the United States – not to protect @realDonaldTrump. Congress must consider the evidence provided in the Mueller Report and hold the President accountable. https://t.co/H2aoBCl7AD — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren

I grew up to be a teacher, then a senator – in no small part because of Mrs. Lee, my 2nd grade teacher. She opened the door to a world of opportunity for me. If we want to invest in brighter futures for our kids, we must invest more in our teachers today. #TeacherAppreciationWeek https://t.co/BakUkBBR80 — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren

Home care workers deserve higher wages, better benefits, and stronger collective bargaining rights. But the Trump Admin is trying to roll back their rights. I'm in this fight with #homecare workers – and the Americans who rely on their care – all the way. — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren

Murder rates for Native women & girls are horrifyingly high. This is a crisis. On National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls, we renew our commitment to reauthorizing the Violence Against Women Act, & ending this epidemic of violence. #MMIWG — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren

My plan to #EndCorruptionNow would stop senior govt officials from leaving & immediately getting paid by firms they gave contracts to. I’ll keep fighting to make that law. In the meantime, Kelly should try & save what’s left of his reputation by resigning from Caliburn’s board. https://t.co/BMvNX4VqTN — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren

John Kelly oversaw many of the Trump Admin's most morally repugnant immigration policies. Now he could be making big bucks serving on the Board of a company that's profiting from the same cruel plans he put in place. This is corruption at its absolute worst. — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren

Construction workers are some of the toughest people I know, but the back-breaking work means too many get hurt, become addicted to opioids & die of overdoses. I'm grateful that the MA Building Trades are tackling this crisis. We're in this fight together. https://t.co/FE6BNi6E7n — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren

Congress may not have the courage yet to pass real gun reforms – but @GabbyGiffords has plenty of courage to spare. Grateful for @GiffordsCourage’s leadership and tireless efforts to #EndGunViolence, and to be with Gabby in this fight. We can do this, together. https://t.co/IxuTHXPIyz — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren

The FTC should investigate if hiding Free File is unfair & deceptive, and if the companies colluded to rip off taxpayers. And IRS should end its agreements with them & get refunds for taxpayers who paid for services because of these abuses. https://t.co/NgYXqQkk2K — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren

It gets worse: A @propublica report & an investigation by my office found that nearly half of the IRS’s Free File companies hide the free option in online search results & direct people to paid products instead. It’s unfair & deceptive. https://t.co/MSeK6lfX7Z — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren

The IRS’s Free File program claims to provide free tax prep services to 70% of taxpayers. But only 3% of eligible taxpayers use it because the companies trick people into purchasing unnecessary products. (That’s why I’ve got a plan to overhaul it.) https://t.co/GTCm49wi7N — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren

The private firms that own & operate military housing are cutting corners to make a profit on the homes of four-star generals. What do you think they’re doing to the homes of junior enlisted? That’s why @RepDebHaaland & I have a plan to fix it. https://t.co/sk4p7JGjOw — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren

We must be vigilant about the threat of terrorism, but no one believes that there is a military-only solution in Afghanistan. We need an economic & diplomatic plan with our allies for safety & stability in the region. And it’s time to bring our troops home — now. — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren

The Trump administration owes it to the American people & our service members to define what winning is in Afghanistan & how we achieve that goal. The evidence is abundantly clear: this administration has no plan. https://t.co/lS7KmjJsCY — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren

Today I’m reintroducing the US Territorial Relief Act to give US territories like Puerto Rico a route to comprehensive debt relief & a chance to get back on their feet. Our fellow US citizens are counting on us, & we cannot forget them. https://t.co/woV6ibi2W3 — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren

Now, post-Maria, Puerto Rico faces a much bigger crisis. Rebuilding efforts in Puerto Rico are still slow, & the debt is a big reason why. Few investors want to put money into reconstruction if the debt means the island doesn’t have a realistic chance of recovering. — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren

Puerto Rico was in crisis long before Hurricanes Maria & Irma tore through the island. For years, Puerto Rico has been at the mercy of Wall Street vulture funds that snapped up the island’s crushing debt to squeeze the Puerto Rican people for every penny they can get. https://t.co/AHCx44cOI3 — PolitiTweet.org
