Same problem with most of Congress... she's wasting her time.
She can make all the speeches she wants, both sides vote pretty much along party lines. We just had the second most qualified cabinet member appointed (Devos) so far, and she was pushed through the process even after a laughably bad showing of why she shouldn't be near education. She doesn't understand the fundamentals of it... yet she's going forward because of party lines. No manner of speech was going to sway them from rubber stamping her.
If Warren really wants to change things, use her resources to go where misinformation starts. Instead of running to donors and the media saying McConnell is unfair and the situation is bad, come to Kentucky. Go to Litchfield and Frankfort and Mayfield, tell his supporters what the guy they keep sending back is doing. The only way to influence other Congress members — outside of dealing, which is common — is to influence their base. People in Kentucky send McConnell back. In a few years, almost none of them will care that he was rude (if that's what you want to call it) to some congresswoman from somewhere they've never been. All they'll care about is the same thing he always says — that he's bringing back coal, guns, God and lower taxes. Warren and other Democrats aren't changing anything if they're going to let him pull the wool over his voters year after year.
