Sen. Elizabeth Warren has a word for Donald Trump: no. No to his cabinet picks, no to his policies — essentially no to any idea that comes from a Trump White House.

If only working for her Massachusetts constituents were as high a priority.

The Democratic senator telegraphed her intentions in a Nov. 7 oped for Time magazine, in which she lead with: “To everyone who feels like their heart has been ripped out of their chest, I feel the same.”

Warren continued: “First, fight every fight in Congress. We won’t always win, but we can slow or sometimes limit Trump’s destruction. With every fight, we can build political power to put more checks on his administration and build the foundation for future wins.”

Unity schmunity.

She ramped up her anti-Trump stance Monday in a post on X: “Donald Trump and his transition team are already breaking the law. I would know because I wrote the law. Incoming presidents are required to prevent conflicts of interest and sign an ethics agreement.”

“This is what illegal corruption looks like,” she added.

As the Hill reported, Warren was responding to a Saturday report from CNN that said a conflict of interest pledge included in the Presidential Transition Act was, in part, keeping multiple transition agreements from being submitted by the president-elect’s team to the Biden administration.

The Presidential Transition Act instructs candidates from major parties to join in memorandums of understanding with the current president as well as the General Services Administration so staff may get their hands on relevant resources such as facilities, documents, executive branch employees and national security information in the period between the election and the inauguration. Those agreements also feature an ethics plan.

Trump met with President Biden on Wednesday to talk about the transition. According to reports, Trump said that politics “is tough” but thanked the president for a smooth transition. “You’re welcome,” Biden responded.

One would think signing the proper agreements would be on the to-do list of an incoming president, even if they don’t do so on Warren’s timeline. The election was held a little over a week ago.

She also came for Trump’s choice of Fox News host and veteran Pete Hegseth to serve as Defense secretary

“A Fox & Friends weekend co-host is not qualified to be the Secretary of Defense,” Warren wrote on X. “I lead the Senate military personnel panel. All three of my brothers served in uniform. I respect every one of our servicemembers. Donald Trump’s pick will make us less safe and must be rejected.”

There’s more on Warren’s Just Say No agenda. But what about Massachusetts? Her constituents here have concerns and needs that must be met, such as replacing the Sagamore and Bourne bridges.

As State House News reported in September, Warren was asked about funding for the mega-billion-dollar projects. “We have enough money now, completely allocated for the first bridge (Sagamore), and we’ve started the money on the second bridge. We’ve always known that we would have to fund these as we go along, but — I’ll just be blunt. We need Democrats to get reelected to the House, Senate and White House, because that is the only time that we have had big enough infrastructure bills in order to be able to fund huge projects like the Cape Cod bridges,” she told reporters.

So Dems can fight Trump on virtually any move he makes, but fighting for Sagamore and Bourne replacement funds are a bridge too far?

It’s going to be a long four years.
