The Massachusetts Democrat has far fewer followers than Trump and she is a cleaner Twitter fighter than the bombastic billionaire. But she is scrappy.
“Your policies are dangerous. Your words are reckless. Your record is embarrassing. And your free ride is over,” @elizabethforma tweeted to her 399K followers on Wednesday, capping her latest volley.
Warren’s Wednesday missives came shortly after @realDonaldTrump lobbed a couple of anti-Warren tweets to his 8.1M followers. “Goofy Elizabeth Warren has been one of the least effective Senators in the entire U.S. Senate. She has done nothing!” Trump tweeted.
A few days ago, Trump bragged on the medium that he was driving her “nuts.”
On Wednesday, Warren wrote: “No, @realDonaldTrump - your racism, sexism & xenophobia doesn’t drive me nuts. It makes me sick. And I’m not alone.”

Dr. Phil is making a House call on drug abuse and foster care. Actually, a House and Senate call.
The television personality and psychologist — whose real name is Phil McGraw — plans to meet Thursday with lawmakers to discuss the link between the nation’s growing drug addiction problem and children in foster care. His visit comes as the House works through a stack of bills aimed at helping prevent and treat abuse of opioids, which are addictive pain killing medications.
Child advocates say the number of children entering foster care because their parents have drug problems is growing faster than any other reason they are removed from their families.
McGraw will be talking to members of the House and Senate foster youth caucuses, informal organizations where lawmakers discuss the issue. Leaders of those organizations include Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, and Rep. Karen Bass, D-Calif.
