Nancy Pelosi is a giant of Congress who served this country faithfully for nearly 40 years. She’s a role model to anyone who strives to get hard stuff done – and a trailblazer who used the Speaker’s gavel to break one of the highest glass ceilings in public service. (1/2)

I stood at the steps of the Supreme Court today where the legality of Trump’s tariffs was on the docket.
