Former Washington Governor Jay Inslee argues Democrats can win on climate—if they frame it as jobs, savings, and health, not just apocalypse. He points to his state’s 62–38 vote preserving ambitious emissions policy, even in red counties, as proof voters can be persuaded. But national polls rank climate near the bottom of priorities, and skeptics like Matt Yglesias say the green agenda may be driving voters away. Plus: it has become ordinary to label events extraordinary—plus the Spiel sorts hype from heat in L.A.'s latest explosion of ICE raids, flash-bangs and freeway fires.

Victor Davis Hanson breaks down the staggering hypocrisy from California’s leaders, the Mexican flags flying over violent protests, and what the American people really think, according to new CBS polling on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.”
“ Fifty-four percent (54%) of the American people are for continued deportations. So, you know what is really reckless Gavin? You know what is chaotic? It's you.
“ You're going to lose the optics—Democrats, Left and immigration protestors—if you have a lot of people here illegally and they're waving, not the American flag, but the Mexican flag, as they're committing acts of violence.”
