Today, I’m endorsing four more U.S. House candidates who are ready to make our government work for everyone—not just the rich and powerful. And two of them are on the ballot in the Texas primary tomorrow:
As the daughter of immigrants, a fierce community advocate, and a small business owner, @MichelleVforTX understands the unique needs of her district. She has the experience to hold this crucial swing seat, and I am proud to be supporting her in Texas’ 15th District. Elizabeth Warren is proud to endorse Michelle Vallejo, TX-15
I'm happy to endorse @JasmineForUS in Texas’ 30th District because she's the kind of fighter we need in Congress. She'll stand up for education, good jobs, and every American's right to vote and have that vote counted. Elizabeth Warren is proud to endorse Jasmine Crockett, TX-30
Families in Oregon’s 5th District deserve a Democrat who will lift up their voices in Congress, fight for prescription drug coverage for seniors, and tackle the climate crisis. @JamieForOregon is that Democrat, and I’m honored to endorse her. Elizabeth Warren is proud to endorse Jamie McLeod-Skinner, O
I’ve seen @DonnaFEdwards organize for our shared values and fight for what’s right. She’s had it with corporations and wealthy people rigging the rules against everybody else, and she’s ready to deliver results. I’m glad to endorse her for Maryland’s 4th District. Elizabeth Warren is proud to endorse Donna Edwards, MD-04

Today was my mother’s birthday. She loved her special connection to Valentine’s Day, and when I was a little girl, I bought some heart-shaped pans at the dime store and started baking her heart-shaped cakes every year. I’ve kept that tradition up to remember her. Me smiling with the heart-shaped cake I baked to honor my mo
After my mother died of a massive heart attack, the doctors realized that she’d had advanced heart disease—never diagnosed, never treated, even though she got regular check-ups. Later, I would learn that heart disease is the #1 killer of women.
Today, it’s no longer considered just a “man’s disease,” and doctors do a much better job screening and treating women for cardiovascular disease than they did when my mother had her heart attack.

This year’s elections are about defending our democracy and fighting for the changes families need in their daily lives. Today, I’m endorsing three candidates who know how to make our country work for everyone, not just the rich and powerful:
.@Andy_Levin fights from the heart, and he knows how to get results. He brings powerfully important experience to Congress—from union organizing & workforce policy to green energy entrepreneurship & human rights advocacy. I’m happy to endorse him for re-election. Elizabeth Warren is proud to endorse Andy Levin for MI-11
As a former labor organizer, @GregCasar has always put working families first. That’s what he’ll continue to do in Congress, with a bold vision for Medicare for All, protecting reproductive rights, and standing up to powerful interests. I’m glad to endorse his campaign. Elizabeth Warren is proud to endorse Greg Casar for TX-35

Last night, I went to the Senate floor to talk about how our democracy is under attack. I read out loud from several articles on voter suppression taking place in state after state across the country. I want to share those articles here too. vox.com/22575435/votin…

Today, I’m introducing the #BuildGreenAct—a transformational investment in electrifying our transportation infrastructure. It would create around 960,000 jobs, save around 4,200 lives a year by reducing air pollution, and tackle the climate crisis head on. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
By electrifying buses, rail, and transportation infrastructure across the country, the #BuildGreenAct addresses two big challenges at the same time: our crumbling infrastructure and the climate crisis.
The #BuildGreenAct would create nearly 960,000 jobs—all paying at least $15 an hour, all guaranteeing paid leave, all ensuring fair scheduling policies. That’s part of how we #BuildBackBetter. That’s part of how we make our country work for working people.

Today, with @PramilaJayapal & @RepBrendanBoyle, I’m introducing a bill for a two-cent #WealthTax on net worths above $50 million—a few cents more for billionaires. This will raise at least $3 trillion to #BuildBackBetter and increase opportunity for all.

Right now, we live in an America tilted toward the ultra-rich and the powerful. The tax system is so full of loopholes and special breaks that families in the top 0.1% pay about 3.2% of their wealth in taxes while the bottom 99% pay about 7.2% in taxes.
Since the pandemic crisis started, billionaire wealth has shot up 40%, while millions remain unemployed and families struggle to keep a roof over their heads and food on the table. It’s time for a #WealthTax to make ultra-millionaires and billionaires pay their fair share.

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.

politico.com/news/2020/12/0…
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.
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.
