Resist. Persist.
“Nevertheless, she persisted.” You’re goddamn right she did, just like countless brave women and men who came before Senator Elizabeth Warren and laid the foundation for the ground she stood on when she took the Senate floor. I’m not sure Senator Mitch McConnell realized that his attempt to silence Senator Warren would speak volumes to […]

Senator Elizabeth Warren at Netroots Nation
The media doesn’t typically pay that much attention to Netroots Nation — unlike CPAC coverage (which is pretty much non-stop on NPR), where I think the media flocks to in order to hear the crazy. Still. NPR covered VP Biden’s speech at Netroots Nation in order to cite him as a source for the Malaysian Airlines plane being shot out of the sky and to spin out the Presidential Horserace story for Democrats.

Then there are the horserace articles about whether Warren will take on Hillary Clinton in the Presidential primaries. It’s just sad that you have to provide some juicy theater for the press to cover you.
Could Someone Tell Me Why Scott Brown Thinks This Is A Winning Strategy?
Scott Brown keeps hammering Elizabeth Warren’s Native American claim. And I mean hammering. Here’s the thing. Yeah, it’s embarrassing, but is that really all he’s got? He brings it up constantly, and I’m not sure why.

Sure, take the shot, toss it in occasionally, but building your entire campaign around it? I just don’t get it.
Brown is obviously very offended by Warren’s Native American claim, but then his campaign goes and does this:
Staffers for Sen. Scott Brown (R-MA) reportedly participated in war-whoop sounds and âtomahawk chopâ gestures at supporters of Democratic challenger Elizabeth Warren, mocking Warrenâs claimed Native American ancestry.

Elizabeth Warren on the Assault on Middle Class Families
As always, right on target. And she discusses how the new Consumer Protection Agency does not add to the deficit, showing how silly the repubs are being on this issue.
