Tears. And outrage. The growing intensity of violence in our nation is so frightening. And again and again it is illuminated how vital it is to hold those in positions of power who are at the root of spreading violence through toxic lies — and within both our political and media systems — that they must be held to account. They must. They absolutely must. And this so clearly and certainly must include Trump. — Molly

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's husband, Paul Pelosi, was "violently assaulted" during a break-in at their San Francisco home early Friday morning, the Democratic leader's office said in a statement.
Police later identified the suspect as 42-year-old David Depape.
"Early this morning, an assailant broke into the Pelosi residence in San Francisco and violently assaulted Mr. Pelosi," said Pelosi spokesman Drew Hammill. "The assailant is in custody and the motivation for the attack is under investigation. Mr. Pelosi was taken to the hospital, where he is receiving excellent medical care and is expected to make a full recovery. The Speaker was not in San Francisco at the time."
"The Speaker and her family are grateful to the first responders and medical professionals involved, and request privacy at this time," Hammill added.
Citing unnamed people familiar with the ongoing investigation, the Associated Press reported that "Pelosi, 82, suffered blunt force injuries to his head and body." Depape allegedly attacked Paul Pelosi with a hammer.
Sources close to the probe told news outlets that Depape shouted, "Where is Nancy, where is Nancy?" before attacking her husband.
