Class v. Ass:

For almost four decades, Nancy Pelosi has served the American people and worked to make our country better. No one was more skilled at bringing people together and getting legislation passed – and I will always be grateful for her support of the Affordable Care Act.

She made us proud to be Democrats, and will go down in history as one of the best speakers the House of Representatives has ever had. Nancy, thank you for your leadership and your friendship. Michelle and I wish you and Paul the best in this next chapter.

Q: Do you have a statement on Nancy Pelosi's retirement? TRUMP: I think she's an evil woman. I think she was a tremendous liability for the country.

Power didn’t scare her, and neither does history.Nancy Pelosi led when others hid, stood tall when others folded. She got us through the first Trump term fearlessly.A fighter. A force. A first.All the flowers for a leader who never blinked. 🌹

The Extreme Court:

Supreme Court allows Trump to prohibit gender election on passports

The U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday allowed President Trump to proceed with his plan to require that passport applicants list their sex as what was designated on their birth certificate. The court’s decision overturns a lower court order pausing Trump’s policy and allowing applicants to choose for themselves whether they would like to identify with an M for male, F for female, or an X for neither.
 
Male and female sex markers began to be listed on passports in 1976. The government has allowed citizens for over 30 years to request a passport that reflects their gender identity instead of the sex listed on a birth certificate. The choice to use an “X”, however, only began in 2021 under President Biden.

Q: Chief Justice Roberts said tariffs are taxes paid by Americans. Yet you're saying this money is rolling in from other countries. How do you square that? TRUMP: It is. It's coming in because they charged us.
