To put more power in the hands of working people, where it belongs, we need to elect more Democrats up and down the ballot in 2022. Today, I’m endorsing six more candidates who know how to fight and know how to win:
.@StaceyAbrams lifts up the voices of Georgia families who have been counted out and left behind. She has a vision and a plan to help working Georgians succeed. I fought by her side in 2018, I’m proud to endorse her today, and I can’t wait to call her Governor Abrams in 2023. Elizabeth Warren is proud to endorse Stacey Abrams for gover
.@TinaKotek has already gotten big things done for working families in Oregon, like raising the minimum wage, expanding health coverage, and passing paid sick leave and paid family leave. I’m glad to endorse her for governor so she can keep up the fight. Elizabeth Warren is proud to endorse Tina Kotek for governor

111 years ago today, 146 people died in the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire. Mostly women—girls really, some as young as 14. Mostly immigrants. It was one of the worst industrial disasters in American history. And it’s a story of greed, corruption, and power:
For years, women factory workers had been sounding the alarm about dangerous conditions, long hours, and low pay. But the factory owners cared more about protecting their fat profits. They used their money and power to stop the state government from protecting workers.
Take any big issue we have in America today, and you don’t have to dig very deep to see the same system at work. Climate change. Gun safety. Health care. Billionaire CEOs and giant corporations use their wealth and influence to grease our government and keep themselves in power.

Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson has more trial court experience than any sitting Supreme Court justice. She’ll be only the 2nd sitting justice to have served in all 3 levels of the federal judiciary. And she’ll be the 1st former federal public defender & 1st Black woman on the Court.
Judge Jackson is so well qualified that some in the GOP are now down to making up objections. They’ve attacked her in this week’s hearings just to play politics. It’s appalling, and it’s no way to treat someone who’s devoted her career to exceptional public service.
Some Republicans have complained about the very idea of having a public defender on the Supreme Court. They should read the Constitution. The Sixth Amendment grants criminal defendants the right to counsel. Public defenders help America live up to our constitutional ideals.

Two years ago, I suspended my campaign for president. For 431 days, a team of true believers brought substance and heart to a campaign that inspired millions to dream big and fight hard. #DBFH
Our organizers built a grassroots campaign. We knocked on 22 million doors, made 20 million phone calls, and sent 42 million texts to voters. We became the fastest first-time presidential campaign to have a million people donate.
Most importantly: we ran on our values, on treating people with dignity, and on putting democracy at the heart of everything we did.

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

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.
