In American politics jargon, this means the Democratic senator is most definitely running for president. Warren had repeatedly been named as a possible 2020 candidate since 2016 and even earlier, so her candidacy has come as no surprise to pundits.
But as ever, Twitter was there to react to Warren's early announcement, which she made with an accompanying video laying out her 2020 vision.
For conservatives, much of the response was comedic and dismissive, with some referring to Warren as "Pocahontas" - the nickname US President Donald Trump uses for the senator due to her claims of Native American ancestry. Warren took a DNA test earlier this year to prove the link, but the Cherokee Nation called the move "inappropriate and wrong." Some also joked that they had "reservations" about Warren's run.
Warren has been a leading voice on the left and for years has launched withering attacks on the US banking system, which made her a poster child of the progressive movement - but some aren't buying the narrative that Warren is a progressive hero, particularly since she failed to endorse Bernie Sanders during the 2016 primaries.
Some on the left were also skeptical about Warren's foreign policy positions. While she called out the "bloated" US defense budget in a recent speech and called for cuts, she did not vote against Trump's massive increases in military spending when she had the chance.
Some thought Warren missed her chance in 2016...
...while others were simply happy at the news that a progressive had thrown her hat in the ring and doubted the naysayers for "underestimating" her chances.
And some just seemed exasperated at the thought of the 2020 campaign season (and all that goes with it) beginning so early.

Babylon The Great is exposed as the money empire of the sodomite jew. It's time has come. In the third year of Trump defeating Hillary, the agent for world jewelry's genocidal reduction of world population.
Revelation 7;!And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree.
2 And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea,
3 Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.
4 And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel.
Trump bought that time, and you can watch the demons howing in outrage in their hosts, the jews.
Hosea 6:1 Come, and let us return unto the Lord: for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up.
2 After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight.
I hope you're not teasing! Surely, you don't think Hillary would, you know, add another notch? Two birds? One a caged one, the other in the bush? What are the odds?
Never quite understood Warren's diatribes in Congress, but I suppose we'll see if she has some feelings beyond gender issues and sham economics.
...Is there a medical procedure to limit hearing capability?
...has anyone else noticed that annoying chalk board screeching coming from Pocahontas's piehole?
The Sunday morning political round table trying to dissect why that mild mannered accountant went ballistic, with his neighbors, family saying, "He was just the sweetest guy! Such a shocker!" President Warren coming out in an emergency address saying with even louder screeches, "I'm this morning signing an executive order to ban all guns effective immediately!!!! All you deplorables who questioned my ethnicity had better get with the program, because we're coming for your pistils, hunting rifles, scopes, pea shooters, bullets, mags, and all related assault doodads!"
Please enlighten us about specifically what she's concerned about being prosecuted for.
