Here we go!! #DemDebate #TeamWarren

"Sometimes there are issues that are bigger than politics." YES, @ewarren!! WE MUST PURSUE impeachment!

NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW.

#DemDebate #TeamWarren

@ewarren Bernie calls out #MoscowMitch McConnell. Tell him he must “do the right thing and allow a free and fair trial in the Senate" #DemDebate

@ewarren Biden agrees "with Bernie," even though Liz said it first tonight. Okay, Joe. #DemDebate

@ewarren Kamala says, "as a former prosecutor, I know a lie when I see one." I wonder what she thinks about prosecutors who withhold information about a police laboratory technician, who had been accused of “intentionally sabotaging” her work and stealing drugs from the lab. #demdebate

@ewarren NO, NO, NO Tulsi. The tepid answer on impeachment was the worst answer of the night so far. #DemDebate

@ewarren "Every candidate here is more decent, more coherent + more patriotic than the criminal in the White House." Thanks, Tom Steyer. This is very, very true. #DemDebate

@ewarren I lost the thread already. I should be better at this. Pasting this one in and then moving forward from here. Trying to keep it all together tonight. #DemDebate

"I have made clear what my principles are here and that is costs will go up for the wealthy and for big corporations and for hardworking middle class families costs will go down." 100%, @ewarren. #DemDebate

@ewarren PEOPLE. CARE. ABOUT. COSTS. @ewarren has been studying why people go bankrupt for longer than Mayor Pete has been alive. I don't understand why he doesn't understand this. #DemDebate #TeamWarren

@ewarren "I spent most of my time studying one basic question--why hardworking people go broke." @ewarren knows that medical bankruptcies are REAL and that is something we have to talk about and she has a plan to make sure this doesn't happen. #DemDebate #TeamWarren

@ewarren "I will not embrace a plan … that leaves behind millions of people who cannot afford it." @ewarren has our hearts. #DemDebate #TeamWarren

@ewarren Harris comes out and brings up women's reproductive rights, taking a page out of @SenGillibrand's book (who I've missed seeing on the debate stage). Glad to hear someone say KEEP YOUR HANDS OFF WOMEN'S BODIES at the #DemDebate. Moderators immediately change the topic, though.

@ewarren @SenGillibrand "I'm tired of people defending a system which is dysfunctional, which is cruel... The issue is whether the Democratic party has the guts to stand up to the healthcare industry." Bernie's heart attack has not slowed him down one iota. He's on fire. #DemDebate

@ewarren @SenGillibrand "We are in a state where we've seen TWO Planned Parenthood clinics close. Women shouldn't be the only ones having to take this up. People deserve to control their own bodies." THANK YOU @CoryBooker! #DemDebate

@ewarren @SenGillibrand @CoryBooker "We need to make it easier to join a union and give unions more power when negotiating!" @ewarren standing up for unions! As a proud union member, I'm so grateful that she speaks up for all of us. #TeamWarren #DemDebate

@ewarren @SenGillibrand @CoryBooker It's amazing how UBI is being discussed. Yang's candidacy has truly moved the overton window on this issue. (For those not familiar with the term: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overton_w…). Super interesting stuff happening. #DemDebate

@ewarren @SenGillibrand @CoryBooker "The top 1/10th of 1% have so much wealth that if we put a 2 cent tax on their 50 MILLION and FIRST dollar and every dollar after that, we'd have enough money to provide universal pre-k, childcare, raising wages..." #demdebate #teamwarren

...universal tuition free college, $50B into HBCUs, and cancel student loan debt for 95% of those who have it, my question is now WHY BERNIE AND I ARE FOR A WEALTH TAX, BUT WHY EVERYONE ELSE ON THIS STAGE WANTS TO PROTECT BILLIONAIRES?"

#demdebate #teamwarren

Pete's all "I understand the midwest, because I'm from the midwest" but also: "After graduating from Harvard University, and then from Pembroke College, Oxford, on a Rhodes Scholarship, Buttigieg worked as a consultant at McKinsey and Company." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pete_Butt… #DemDebate

In 2018, for the first time in history, America’s richest billionaires paid a lower effective tax rate than the working class. @ewarren GETS IT. They can afford a two cent tax once you have more than FIFTY. MILLION. DOLLARS. washingtonpost.com/business/2019/…
#DemDebate #TeamWarren

@ewarren Booker is right that these dems should NOT be tearing each other down. "We all have different plans, but we have one shot to make Donald Trump a one term president." Thanks @CoryBooker, you're always a class act. #DemDebate

@ewarren @CoryBooker OMG, that ffrf.org ad! Let's talk about FFRF and their critical work to promote nontheism and defend the constitutional separation between religion and government! #DemDebate

@ewarren @CoryBooker All of the attacks by everyone on this stage on @ewarren just solidifies that even if the establishment views someone else as the frontrunner, everyone else knows it is her. She's standing tall in the face of all of the attacks. I couldn't be prouder to stand with her. #demdebate

@ewarren @CoryBooker Mayor Pete is extremely strong when talking about Syria. Took Tulsi to task on that topic. #DemDebate

Anyone volunteer to tell their candidate to bring this up post-next commercial break? #DemDebate

https://twitter.com/mspackyetti/status/1184270812133646336?s=21

Almost forgot Biden was there. No one is focused on him tonight. He's become almost irrelevant. Meanwhile, @ewarren is fighting back against virtually everyone on that stage without losing her cool or attacking anyone. #DemDebate #TeamWarren

@ewarren Also, thank you Castro for this line: "Think of how absurd it is that this President is jailing kids on the border and letting ISIS prisoners run free.” Bringing us back to the reality of what's happening in the world right now. #DemDebate

@ewarren I wish there were a @NYT_first_said version for the debate stage. Has the word "frenemies" ever EVER been used before at a debate?? #DemDebate

@ewarren @NYT_first_said Pete gets confronted on saying Beto is just saying confiscation "to stay relevant," and a "shiny object," but instead of addressing that and that he called what Beto is talking about "confiscation," he says well, we just need to get something done. #DemDebate

@ewarren @NYT_first_said The general sense I'm getting is that people feel Mayor Pete is very wrong on the issue of gun violence. And @BetoORourke said what most Americans believe which is that we must ban assault weapons. #DemDebate

@ewarren @NYT_first_said @BetoORourke POLICE VIOLENCE IS GUN VIOLENCE. Thank you @JulianCastro. A officer murdered Atatiana Jefferson in her home. #DemDebate

@ewarren @NYT_first_said @BetoORourke @JulianCastro Ummm did Tom Steyer just say "structural changes?" I think that's @ewarren's line!! #DemDebate

@ewarren @NYT_first_said @BetoORourke @JulianCastro While I appreciate a lot of what Yang is saying, let's all stop using the word “addict” when talking about people with substance use disorders. They create a negative bias. Let's not use terms that label the person rather than the disease. #DemDebate #cjreform

@ewarren @NYT_first_said @BetoORourke @JulianCastro "I will outwork, out-organize, and outlast ANYONE, that includes Donald Trump, Mike Pence, or anyone who the republicans get stuck with." DAMN RIGHT YOU WILL @ewarren!! #DemDebate #TeamWarren

@ewarren @NYT_first_said @BetoORourke @JulianCastro People talking a lot about gun violence at #demdebate. Castro explained so well problem w/ gun buybacks. Sending police into marginalized neighborhoods puts people in danger. Additional police contact is not safe for poor people & people of color.

@ewarren @NYT_first_said @BetoORourke @JulianCastro "I will not let a handful of monopolists dominate our economy." Thank you @ewarren. I am SO glad that our next pesident will enforce anti-trust laws. The fact that billionaire Mark Zuckerberg is terrified of Elizabeth Warren just makes me love her more. #DemDebate #TeamWarren

@ewarren @NYT_first_said @BetoORourke @JulianCastro Warren has pledged that she will not take any money from big pharma, wall street, or tech executives. Check out her plan from this morning about getting big money out of politics!! medium.com/@teamwarren/my… #DemDebate #TeamWarren

@ewarren @NYT_first_said @BetoORourke @JulianCastro Most everyone agrees that kicking Trump off twitter isn't a policy position, so don't know why this is such an issue. #DemDebate

https://twitter.com/RalstonReports/status/1184291229502038016?s=20

@ewarren @NYT_first_said @BetoORourke @JulianCastro A question about WOMEN'S REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS! YAY @cnn @nytimes! Great answers across the board. No disagreement on this issue from anyone. #DemDebate

@ewarren @NYT_first_said @BetoORourke @JulianCastro @CNN @nytimes Hey Tulsi, in 1996, Bill Clinton coined the term “safe, legal, and rare” re: the Democrats’ policy outlook on abortion. The phrase was meant to appease those w/ moral uncertainty regarding abortions & communicate that Democrats were not proponents of the procedure. #demdebate

That's not the mentality now, Tulsi. Step up for women and embrace the pro-choice movement. Women shouldn’t have to hide. The “safe, legal, and rare” narrative is so 1996. #DemDebate

Ahh and the refreshing and correct take from @ewarren!! RICH WOMEN WERE STILL GETTING ABORTIONS. #DemDebate #TeamWarren

https://twitter.com/ewarren/status/1128713259907989507?s=20

By the way, Elizabeth Warren was the first major presidential candidate to roll out a comprehensive strategy for protecting the right to an abortion. #DemDebate #TeamWarren nymag.com/intelligencer/…

DREAM BIG. FIGHT HARD. No one believes for one second that @ewarren has never gotten anything done. That's outrageous. #DemDebate #TeamWarren

@ewarren By the way, if you're not following the #DemDebate live tweets from @rtraister & @cmclymer, you are missing out big time. I just laughed OUT LOUD at the back-to-back tweets from the two of them on this Biden/Warren exchange. Love you two. #idbitehimtoo #iblackedouttoo

@ewarren @rtraister @cmclymer Questionable friendships, Tulsi. Yeah, you could say that. Yikes. #DemDebate

@ewarren @rtraister @cmclymer OMG SHE SOUNDS LIKE A REPUBLICAN. "I don't see deplorables." Oh, I do. #DemDebate

@ewarren @rtraister @cmclymer Soooo we're really going to end talking about friendship, but not LGBTQ people and the fact that they are in the fight for their lives right now, nor climate change? Cool, cool. #DemDebate

@ewarren @rtraister @cmclymer Every time I watch @ewarren in another #DemDebate, I’m more and more hopeful that we can beat Trump next November. Join me in giving her (another) $5 tonight!

@ewarren @rtraister @cmclymer I need to have my dear friend @ErinSchrode's tweet in my thread (though I already RT'd), because it's so on point. How can we just talk about unexpected friendship with those who marginalize the folks who are already oppressed in our country? #demdebate

https://twitter.com/ErinSchrode/status/1184299876189782016?s=20

@ewarren @rtraister @cmclymer @ErinSchrode The time for small ideas is over. We need to elect someone who knows what’s broken, has the plans to fix it—and is running an inclusive, grassroots campaign to get it done.

I’m proud to be on #TeamWarren—join me and chip in $5 today.
