This is now displayed as what she calls “a badge of honor” on the top of Nancy Pelosi’s Twitter page:
I know from a poll I put on some time ago that the majority of you don’t have Twitter accounts. Lots of you look at Trump’s tweets in news stories or on TV, and a few of you view them on his Twitter feed @realDonaldTrump.
#MoscowMitch was the most recent hashtag that had a major impact on a Republican. McConnell reportedly hated it. So far nothing much has stuck with Trump. However Nancy Pelosi’s telling Trump to his face that all his roads led to Putin almost immediately became a hashtag.
Pelosi said Russia has long sought a "foothold in the Middle East" and he had just given Russian President Vladimir Putin such an opening, adding: "All roads with you lead to Putin." That's when the already-tense meeting "reached a fever pitch," the Times reported.
You don't need capital letters, #allroadsleadtoputin works.
If you don’t quite know what a hashtag is or how it works here’s a good article:
Basically:
A hashtag is a keyword or a phrase used to describe a topic or a theme, which is immediately preceded by the pound sign (#). Hashtags help users find topics that are of interest to them. For example, "dogs" could be a hashtag, and so could "border collie puppy training." One is a broad topic and the other is a phrase that's far more specific.
To create a hashtag, you have to put the pound sign (#) before the word or phrase and avoid using any spaces or punctuation (even if you're using multiple words in a phrase). So, #Dogs and #BorderColliePuppyTraining are the hashtag versions of these words/phrases.
A hashtag automatically becomes a clickable link when you tweet it. Anyone who sees the hashtag can click on it and be brought to a page featuring the feed of all the most recent tweets that contain that particular hashtag.
Twitter users put hashtags in their tweets to categorize them in a way that makes it easy for other users to find and follow tweets about a specific topic or theme.
I do my bit to contribute to the Twitter-verse. For example when I tweet about Trump I often use the hashtag #UNFIT which is one of the most common ones used to describe him.
I’ll try another poll to see if I’ve persuaded any of you to change.

First person account of the meeting:
I also find that when I make a photoshop, sometimes using the caricatures by the creative and generous DonkeyHotey as I did today, more people look at them than when I simply put a link to one of my Daily Kos stories on.
Correction/clarification from yesterdays column: Trumpophobia is not based on an irrational fear. I should have made that clear. I am sorry I saw a message about this too late to make the correction. I should have put “totally rational” in this sentence: "Trumpophobia is the totally rational fear and aversion to Donald Trump and everything he stands for.”
