I wanted to create a sacred space to honor & remember our beloved @RepCummings all in one place, we now have @ElijahsLegacy page. I tried to capture as many of the stories shared about his life & legacy, the condolences, & memories from everyone he touched! Please add to & share!
Rep. Katie Porter is not just brilliant but, she’s also effective.
Watch her strategically get the CDC director Robert Redfield to say “YES” to making coronavirus testing free for anyone regardless of insurance.
Bondi made a strong case Hunter Biden’s Burisma appointment was nepotism. Probably true. But, if giving a job to an unqualified kid or spouse of an influential member of government was illegal, half the Senate would be indicted and Trump would have been impeached for nepotism.
.@baltimoresun Elijah would have been deeply honored to receive your recognition. He worked hard, he fought hard, and he cared deeply. #ThankYou

Welcome to the Committee, @RepDebHaaland and @RepKatiePorter! Together, we will continue to conduct rigorous oversight to combat waste, fraud and abuse.
.@SpeakerPelosi Thank you for your leadership and thanks to House Democrats for honoring Elijah’s work on this important issue. He would have been proud to know you named this prescription drug bill for him. The American people deserve the cost relief this bill would provide.
While Trump failed to make good on his word during Elijah’s lifetime, Elijah would have been proud that his Democratic colleagues are poised to pass a bill allowing Medicare to negotiate the cost of prescription drugs, thereby reducing out-of-pocket costs by $500b over 10 yrs.
Stoked that the Elijah E. Cummings Lower Drug Costs Now Act just passed the House. Your turn @senatemajldr and @realDonaldTrump. Show the American people that you’re willing to alleviate their pain and protect their pockets. #LowerDrugCostsNow
As Elijah once asked: when we're dancing with the angels, the question will be asked: what did we do to make sure we kept our democracy intact?
Today Nancy Pelosi and her Democratic colleagues can proudly say that they took a stand and defended our Constitution. #ImpeachmentDay
Today House Democrats will vote to impeach Donald Trump. I'm proud that my late husband, Elijah Cummings, led some of the investigations that made today's impeachment vote possible. Elijah would have voted in favor of impeachment, I stand for it as well.

Pelosi's incredible homage to Rep. Cummings:
"He also said... 'When we're dancing with the angels, the question will be: what did you do to make sure we kept our democracy in tact?' We did all we could Elijah. We passed 2 Articles of Impeachment. The president is impeached."
Among those we lost in 2019:
• Elijah Cummings, a congressman and champion of civil rights
• Author Toni Morrison, the first black woman to receive the Nobel literature prize

"We did all we could, Elijah," Speaker Pelosi says, taking a moment to recognize the late Rep. Elijah Cummings. "We passed the two articles of impeachment. The president is impeached."
