Good morning from  Washington, where politicians on the Left keep trying to gaslight the rest of us about raising the nation’s debt limit without requiring new spending discipline. David Ditch knocks down seven silly arguments. Wonder whether any of your favorite companies disdain your values? Here’s a useful tool, Gigi De La Torre writes. On the podcast, Tyler O’Neil interviews a former Israeli mayor with firsthand experience of terrorism who warns Americans of the radical threat here. Plus: Jarrett Stepman on Texas’ move to abolish diversity officers at public universities; Joshua Arnold on Nebraska’s double play on abortion and gender transitions; and Virginia Allen on a mother’s story of an MS-13 killer. On this date in 1935,  the Cincinnati Reds defeat the Philadelphia Phillies, 2-1, in Major League Baseball’s first night game, played under lights at Cincinnati’s Crosley Field.
