Nancy Pelosi has been the most effective Speaker in my lifetime and I will miss her.

The video of her on Jan 6 when she wanted TFG to show up so she could punch him out and go happily to jail made me like her as a person. I wanted to punch him out, too.

I wish all the best to Jeffries. He's got some big shoes to fill.
