I learned a lot about Nancy Pelosi this week — including her very early advocacy for AIDS patients. She visited them in SF General’s AIDS ward and convinced the Reagan administration to allow the AIDS Memorial Quilt to be displayed on the National Mall in 1987.

Ever since Trump arrived in DC, Pelosi, has confounded him. He has tried to intimidate, undermine and embarrass her. Those efforts more often than not backfired.
Pelosi seemed not only unintimidated, but also permanently appalled + deeply unimpressed.
