The world is a slightly less effective place in his absence. If there were a Heaven, I’d wish him bon voyage. As it is, I’ll wipe a tear from my eye and carry on as best I can.
Those of us who live in Maryland will always be grateful he was part of our lives. Great moral courage, honestly, and integrity. He and Schaefer were cut out of the same bolt of cloth. I hope there’s enough left to cover us now.

I didn’t always agree with him, but the man stood for his principals. Rest easy sir, rest easy.

Let’s hope a Democrat with as much fervor for fair play and justice takes over the Committee on oversight.

One of the great ones —
Elijah Cummings one of the great moral leaders of our time.
Steve Benson one of the great artistic commentators of our time highlighting one of his most poignant, brilliant masterpieces.
Excellent tribute and, as @Richard S Russell rightly noted, excellent work on very short notice.

Trump said Cummings’ home city of Baltimore was a rat-infested dump. Trump will NEVER see the Heavenly City where Cummings now resides.

Darrin Bell had a beautiful tribute cartoon on ArcaMax. The usual suspects in the comments section had their same old bile to spew about Mr Cummings.
