Warren said she made her opposition 'pretty clear' ahead of the bill's passage and tried 'twisting arms within our caucus.' 'Obviously, Chuck Schumer and I did not agree. I think Chuck Schumer is wrong,' Warren said. But she did not say whether Schumer should still be the Democrats' leader, instead saying what Democrats 'have to do now is get focused on this tax fight.' The budget resolution that cleared the House calls for up to 'I cannot describe to you how urgent this is. This is the all-the-marbles fight,' Warren said. 'And let me be as clear as I can about this: I need every single Democrat in this fight.

Warren said Tuesday that she 'tried' to work with the Trump administration, saying she sent a letter to Musk offering up dozens of areas in the federal government where felt he could seek cuts.

He's interested in a giant headline, a lot of chaos, and driving toward that tax law that is going to give him billions and billions more, and make everybody else pay for it. I'm on to that,' Warren told reporters. 'What Donald Trump and Elon Musk are doing,' she added, 'is breaking the law, breaking the Constitution, and threatening our very democracy.'
