Thank you @SpeakerPelosi for LGBT equality, for the @presidiosf, for AIDS funding, for decades of passionate, compassionate and pragmatic leadership. I hereby propose naming @flySFO as “Pelosi International Airport.” @SF_Chamber. What say you? https://t.co/QWSAHCJpXw

Representative Nancy Pelosi, the only female House speaker, said she will not run for re-election. She wielded immense power and became a Democratic icon, while she was demonized by conservatives.

How DARE you @PressSec & @SpeakerJohnson. I am a US citizen. I am a Democrat. I am NOT a HAMAS supporter, quite the opposite: a proud supporter of Israel. You disgust me & you will lose. History’s dustbin is full of you. #nevertrump #NoKingsDayOct18th

America's political rhetoric has become even more heated ahead of large-scale 'No Kings' protests against Trump's agenda.

“It strikes me as improbable that after nearly 600 years the power of printed words on a page is going to go away. I would put my money on literature’s comeback & that will be a great blow to the forces of dehumanization all around us.” @nytdavidbrooks
