It looks like it is updated pretty often -- was just updated yesterday -- and it seems somewhat easy to pick out the endorsements from senators.

To update your list, it looks like Warren has been endorsed by Ed Markey (MA-Sen).

None will be 100% accurate all the time, it's a fluid issue for politicians.

I'm surprised he endorsed Warren, she has already endorsed his primary opponent, Joe Kennedy III.
