.@SenTedCruz, @SenHydeSmith, @SenTuberville, @SenRickScott, A violent mob incited by the president wasn’t enough to stop you from undermining our democracy. You went ahead anyway and tried to throw out millions of legally cast votes to score cheap political points. Shame on you

Our nation has lost a mighty fighter for democracy, accountability, equity and justice with the tragic loss of Congressman Elijah Cummings. He never forgot that his was borrowed power, which he wielded in defense of the vulnerable and on behalf of the American people. #RIPElijah
