Today is a tough day. It’s been 1 year since I had to say goodbye to #TeamWarren and a big dream... to see Elizabeth Warren elected as President.
Instead of wallowing, I thought I’d share some excerpts from her final speech, and favorite photos from the campaign. #LFG

"What we have done – and the ideas we have launched into the world, the way we have fought this fight, the relationships we have built – will carry through, carry through for the rest of this election, and the one after that, and the one after that." 
“So think about it: We have shown that it is possible to build a grassroots movement that is accountable to supporters and activists and not to wealthy donors – and to do it fast enough for a first-time candidate to build a viable campaign.”

PS: And here, next door to the City Hall/Police Station where I dropped our ballots, is the local cannabis dispensary, for which an elderly city council member recently thanked God: "It's the only business generating enough taxes during COVID to keep our town solvent!" #Oregon
Hey #TeamWarren, just wanted to say that it's ok to be angry. You can be angry at both the Biden and Sanders camps, the way the media treated Warren, and even the voters who lacked the courage to vote for her.
It's ok to take some time to be angry.
It's ok to take some time to be angry.
As far as when you're ready to choose, you may have your own criteria, mine are:
1) The administration where @ewarren will have the *most* influence.
2) The campaign with the biggest policy overlap.
So I'm supporting Sanders going forward.

This does not mean that I am not upset at how things went down, but I do believe that Biden et Al and the political establish screwed over Liz just as much as the Sanders camp did. This is a pragmatic decision about who will most perpetuate the survival of the planet and humanity
Me emocioné y sentí mucho orgullo al votar por @ewarren hoy. Hace 13 años, le contacté pidiéndole me aceptara en su clase. Yo me había trasladado y me habían dicho que muchos profesores no me prestarían atención. Ella fue amable, alentadora y respondió casi de inmediato.
Ir a su clase era intimidante y estimulante al mismo tiempo. Nos empujó a pensar más allá de la doctrina legal y a considerar las consecuencias leyes para los individuos. Estaba claro que se preocupaba profundamente por nosotros y por mejorar la vida de las personas en general
Más tarde, cuando me quebré en sus horas de oficina contándole la historia de mi vida y por qué quería estudiar la bancarrota y el fracaso financiero, ella me alentó e inspiró. Desde entonces dejó en claro que estaba en mi esquina y que ayudaría de cualquier manera que pudiera.
I felt so proud and emotional voting for @ewarren today. 13 yrs ago, I emailed her asking to join her empirical methods class. I was a transfer and was told that some professors wouldn't give me the time of day. She was kind, encouraging, and responded almost immediately.
Going to her class was intimidating and exhilarating at the same time. She pushed us to think beyond legal doctrine and to consider the consequences of the law in people's lives. It was clear she cared deeply about her students and improving people's lives more broadly.
Later when I broke down in her office hours telling her my life story and why I wanted to study bankruptcy and financial failure, she encouraged and inspired me. From then on she made it clear she was in my corner and would help in any way she could.
I would really like to support #ElizabethWarren. Her platform and campaign match up with my values and interests, and I believe she can defeat Tr*mp, especially after her debate performance in Nevada. 1/
Which is why I am so frustrated that @ewarren has not engaged w/ Cherokee & other Indigenous writers, scholars, & activists who have clearly & repeatedly explained why her Cherokee ancestry claim and DNA stunt do continuing harm, & why her apology is insufficient. 2/
@ewarren Cherokee activist and writer @RebeccaNagle even went so far as to *script an apology for her*. 3/
The two candidates who surged in NH are both white Midwesterners who struggle to understand and connect about Black and Brown voters. 3/ #Warren2020
What a precious opportunity to tell undecided Iowa voters that if they’re worried about defeating @realDonaldTrump on Nov. 3, they should caucus for @ewarren who can...
▪️drive turnout from Iowa to Michigan with her big, bold ideas. I’ve seen it in the college students from every direction who have come to work for @IAforWarren to engage caucus-goers, and high schoolers too young to vote out knocking thousands of doors.
▪️bring all ends of the political spectrum together with her anti-corruption platform that everyone can get behind. A retired school teacher I talked to promised to text me after she caucuses for Warren. We had such a deep conversation about our shared values, we’re now besties!
This is the plan I've been waiting for. What makes Warren such a uniquely suited candidate is that she built a federal agency from the ground up. That experience will be incredibly important as we work to restore effective American governance after Trump. #Warren2020 #TeamWarren
2. Just want to provide some more context for why I believe this. In 2009, Tammy Duckworth asked me to move to DC to lead the effort to build VA's first office of digital media. VA wasn't communicating with veterans online. When I arrived, I had no staff, no budget and no policy.
3. We had to carve the office out of existing funds, navigate the hiring process to find the best people and write our own policy that took 18 months. It was intense and took 100% focus. It's hard to even contemplate creating an entire agency.
It’s been a while, so I figured I’d spotlight another one of my fav @ewarren plans: A GREAT PUBLIC SCHOOL EDUCATION FOR EVERY STUDENT ✏️📚📓🍎

It’s time to give our schools the support they need to ensure that every student has access to a meaningful, high-quality public education.

1️⃣ FUNDING SCHOOLS ADEQUATELY AND EQUITABLY
State & local funds make up about 90% of total K-12 ed. funding. The federal gov’t provides roughly the remaining 10%, primarily through Title I — @ewarren’s plan starts by quadrupling Title I funding.

Today I let @brashcan know that I’d be supporting @ewarren in the primary here in #georgia. It took me a long time to come to that conclusion. You see, I have been a Bernie fan since 2015. Still am. Bernie started a movement and speaks to a side of me that is fed up. (1/8)
A side of me that’s pissed off and knows that we can do better. Bernie’s commitment to the same ideals and struggles for his whole life is admirable and worthy of our respect. (2/8)
I saw Warren speak in February of 2019 and I left feeling uniquely impacted by her story, her growth, her passion. To this day, the only politician I’ve ever seen speak that can illicit an emotional reaction out of my the way @ewarren can was @staceyabrams. (3/8)
For those of you following this situation:
A contact high-up in the Warren campaign this morning confirmed to me that Ashlee Marie Preston "is not and never was" on the payroll of the campaign.

From my source in the campaign:
"Liz takes selfies with everyone. We can not be responsible for how people use these pictures afterwards and can not prevent people from claiming an official professional relationship that does not and has never existed."

Jason Hilton, Preston's publicist, responded with this...curious statement:
"This is the only comment we will be making on the subject. Ashlee is proud to be on TeamWarren and will not be silenced by the media smear campaign against her."
Quotes aren't smears, Jason, but ok.

@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
☀️Good morning. When I say President you say Warren. President. Warren. President. Warren.

💙 Say the words. President Warren. In sentences. President Warren would appoint Supreme Court Justices who support the right to choose. President Warren would reunite families and shut down prisons holding infants and children at the border.
