Today, Speaker Emeritus Nancy Pelosi announced that she will not seek reelection and is retiring at the end of her term.
From her time working with Harvey Milk in San Francisco to her tenure as the first female Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi is the definition of a champion for equality.

“The billionaire class has sought to convince those making $30-an-hour that their enemies are those earning $20-an-hour. They want the people to fight amongst ourselves so that we remain distracted from the work of remaking a long, broken system.”

The Trump administration just declared that erecting a ballroom is the President’s main priority.
Meanwhile.
The cost of living is way too high and the Republican healthcare crisis threatens millions of Americans.

Senate Republicans just passed Trump’s bullshit of a bill—and it’s even uglier than before.
— At least 16 million could lose healthcare — Trillions will be added to the deficit — Hospitals will close — Children will go hungry
Now it comes back to the House.

This is what happens when you have an entire cabinet full of folks who would NEVER pass a regular security clearance.
Led by a president who would never be able to pass one either.
