Nancy Pelosi says sex changes for trans kids is something she\u2019s working for \u2018at the national level\u2019.Pelosi said she flies a transgender flag outside her office.Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Thursday that sex changes for transgender children is something she\u2019s working for \u201cat the national level.\u201dEarlier in the day, Pelosi toured the San Francisco VA Medical Center to review health-system upgrades, research initiatives and\u2014according to a press release from her staff\u2014the threat that House Republicans might slash core veterans\u2019 services.<\/p>\n
While speaking with reporters, she was asked how her office was responding to pauses to \u201cgender-affirming care\u201d in California.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat is something I\u2019m working for at the national level, and we are hoping we can have gender-affirming care for our trans kids,\u201d Pelosi said. \u201cIt\u2019s a sad thing for us\u2026 I don\u2019t know what effect we can have nationally with what we have going on in the White House and in Congress.\u201d<\/p>\n
She called the situation \u201creally sad, adding that a transgender-pride flag\u2014five horizontal stripes of light blue, pink and white\u2014hangs outside her office. Pelosi also said several colleagues display the same flag<\/p>\n
She acknowledged that many Republicans on Capitol Hill oppose medical transition for transgender youth.<\/p>\n
Still, she is not alone in her stance on sex changes for kids.<\/p>\n
Earlier this month, over a dozen officials from Democratic-led states filed a lawsuit to stop the Trump administration from blocking access to sex change procedures and treatments for people under the age of 19.<\/p>\n
The complaint, which was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts, argues that the Trump administration wants to impose a nationwide ban on sex change procedures by threatening providers with \u201cbaseless criminal charges\u201d and investigations.<\/p>\n
The lawsuit names President Donald Trump, Attorney General Pam Bondi and the Justice Department as defendants. It challenges Trump\u2019s Jan. 28 executive order barring government support for sex change operations and treatments and two memos by Bondi and Assistant Attorney General Brett Shumate.<\/p>\n
Pelosi\u2019s office told Fox News Digital the Democrat was referring to this lawsuit when she spoke about supporting sex changes for children.<\/p>\n
Bondi\u2019s memo directs the Department of Justice (DOJ) to investigate and prosecute those who offer sex-change treatments to minors. Shumate\u2019s memo directs prosecutors to prioritize investigations against doctors, hospitals and pharmaceutical companies that perform such procedures.<\/p>\n
In July, Kaiser Permanente announced that it would pause sex change surgeries for patients under 19 beginning Aug. 29 in response to the Trump administration\u2019s efforts on the matter. The same month, Children\u2019s Hospital Los Angeles shuttered its Center for Trans Youth Health and Development, one of the nation\u2019s largest clinics for transgender young people.<\/p>\n
The Children\u2019s National Hospital in Washington, D.C., also announced that it will no longer provide gender transition-related medical interventions.<\/p>\n
Many states have laws restricting or banning sex change surgeries for children. The states named in the lawsuit \u2013 California, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Washington D.C., and Wisconsin. \u2013 allow such procedures.<\/p>\n
New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani (D) announced Wednesday that former Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Chair Lina Khan will serve as one of the co-leads for his transition team.<\/p>\n
Khan, who headed the FTC under President Biden, will join three longtime New York City Hall veterans in steering Mamdani\u2019s transition efforts, according to a statement released by the mayor-elect\u2019s office,\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNew Yorkers sent a clear message this week that it\u2019s time to build a city that working people can actually afford. I\u2019m excited to help Zohran build a team that will usher in a new era for New York City and set a new model for Democratic governance,\u201d Khan said in a statement.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur transition leaders will help build a City Hall committed to excellence, integrity and a hunger to solve old problems with new solutions. Together, we will show the nation how government can deliver when we put the people, not billionaires, first,\u201d Mamdani added in a statement.<\/p>\n
Khan was a central \u2014 and highly controversial \u2014 figure in former Biden\u2019s antitrust and consumer protection agenda. As head of the FTC, she launched sweeping crackdowns on corporate mergers and led efforts to target what the administration labeled \u201cunfair business practices,\u201d including so-called junk fees and mandatory arbitration clauses.<\/p>\n
Progressives hailed her as a hero for taking on corporate America, but her heavy-handed tactics \u2014 particularly against Big Tech \u2014 backfired politically. Biden\u2019s war on Silicon Valley helped drive a wave of influential tech leaders toward the political right, many of whom now see President Donald Trump\u2019s pro-business agenda as the only real counterbalance to the left\u2019s regulatory crusade.<\/p>\n
Before joining the Biden administration, Khan taught at Columbia Law School in New York and served as a legal adviser to former FTC Commissioner Rohit Chopra, sharpening the left-wing, anti-corporate philosophy that would later define her tenure at the agency.<\/p>\n
Regarding self-claimed socialist Mamdani\u2019s rise to lead the one American city that defined capitalism, Trump pointed to \u201cpollsters\u201d who say the government shutdown \u2014 combined with the fact that his name wasn\u2019t on Tuesday\u2019s ballot \u2014\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201c\u2018TRUMP WASN\u2019T ON THE BALLOT, AND SHUTDOWN, WERE THE TWO REASONS THAT REPUBLICANS LOST ELECTIONS TONIGHT, according to Pollsters,\u201d Trump posted on Truth Social on Tuesday night.<\/p>\n
Republicans lost major races on Tuesday, though the vast majority of them were in deep blue states and districts.<\/p>\n
Mamdani defeated a rare bipartisan coalition that had rallied behind former Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who ran as an independent, in the mayor\u2019s race.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was not expected to be a victory. I don\u2019t think it was good for Republicans. I\u2019m not sure it was good for anybody, but we had an interesting evening, and we learned a lot,\u201d Trump said at a Wednesday morning breakfast with GOP senators.<\/p>\n
In New Jersey, a race that many expected to be close turned into a decisive win for Democrat Mikie Sherrill, who defeated Republican Jack Ciattarelli by a double-digit margin \u2014 56.2% to 43.2% \u2014 with 95% of ballots counted as of Wednesday morning.<\/p>\n
In Virginia, Democrat Abigail Spanberger also scored a commanding victory, defeating Republican Winsome Earle-Sears by more than 15 points, 57.5% to 42.3%, with 96% of votes tallied.<\/p>\n
For comparison, former President Donald Trump lost both states in the previous year\u2019s election \u2014 by 5.7 points in Virginia and 5.9 points in New Jersey, the Washington Times reported.<\/p>\n
House Republicans are exploring legal and constitutional strategies to block Mamdani from being sworn into office, citing the Constitution\u2019s post\u2013Civil War \u201cinsurrection clause.\u201d<\/p>\n
The effort, first reported by the New York Post, is being led in part by the New York Young Republican Club, which argues that Mamdani\u2019s past statements calling to \u201cresist ICE\u201d and his ties to left-wing organizations could qualify as \u201cgiving aid or comfort to the enemies\u201d of the United States \u2014 language drawn directly from Section 3 of the 14th Amendment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
