Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) has not yet endorsed a Presidential candidate, but she did have something to say about Hillary Clinton’s op-ed in the New York Times laying out her plans to rein in Wall Street abuses, sending a couple of tweets in support and linking to the piece.

— Elizabeth Warren (@elizabethforma) December 7, 2015She took to Facebook to lay out a longer statement, unfettered by the 140 character limit.
Secretary Clinton is right to fight back against Republicans trying to sneak Wall Street giveaways into the must-pass government funding bill. Whether it's attacking the CFPB, undermining new rules to rein in unscrupulous retirement advisers, or rolling back any part of the hard-fought progress we've made on financial reform, she and I agree: “President Obama and congressional Democrats should do everything they can to stop these efforts.”
She also linked to the piece on her Facebook page.
Warren’s support of Clinton’s plans for Wall Street is a major boon to Clinton, who has sometimes been smeared as being too close to Wall Street. While Warren has held off on endorsing a candidate, saying the time is not right, she did sign a letter encouraging Hillary Clinton, who she says is “terrific” to run for President.
