The death of Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-Md.) prompted an outpouring of grief and condolences on social media.
Lawmakers, celebrities, journalists and other high-profile figures paid tribute to the veteran member of Congress, who died early Thursday due to complications concerning longstanding health challenges, his office said.
The term Rest In Power also trended nationally on Twitter.
Democratic presidential candidates, former Democratic National Committee chair Donna Brazile , Star Trek actor and activist George Takei , MSNBC host Joe Scarborough , musician Questlove and others shared poignant messages online:
We lost a giant today. Congressman Elijah Cummings was a fearless leader, a protector of democracy, and a fighter for the people of Maryland. Our world is dimmer without him in it.

Rep. Cummings was an American hero, a beacon of hope, a profound storyteller; decent and fierce in his convictions and always fighting for the forgotten. He was an inspiration to me and to so many he served with.
All of Congress and our entire nation feels this loss so deeply.

The son of sharecroppers, Elijah Cummings used his powerful voice to lift up those who often felt powerless. He will be missed and remembered as a tireless advocate for the poor and all who demand an honest, ethical, and fair government.

Elijah was a good man, a great leader, and a dear friend. We worked closely together in Congress and I was honored that he married Mika and me.
Elijah was a member of our family whom we loved.
May God bless his own family now in these troubled times. https://t.co/2sJk1jnRHQ

Weve lost a leader like no other. Elijah Cummings was a lion when standing up for his beloved Baltimore & rights & truth. But he was also so kind, including to brand new senators like me a decade ago. His advice was as true as his love for his country. https://t.co/T5pLt24Jjv
