June greetings from Washington, where the House last night passed a bill to lift the nation’s debt ceiling and begin to trim government spending, giving Speaker Kevin McCarthy a victory despite resistance from conservatives. Samantha Aschieris reports. We’ve got related commentary from Rachel Greszler. On the podcast, a Christian wedding photographer takes New York to court for forcing her to celebrate same-sex weddings. Plus: “Problematic Women” surveys the abortion landscape; a popular Fox News host predicts conservative companies will bow to wokeness; a Princeton professor’s surprising take on “Pride Month”; the Dodgers dance with anti-Catholic trans “nuns”; and a bishop wants to cancel a “Pride Mass.” On this date in 1990,  President George H.W. Bush and Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev sign an agreement to end production of chemical weapons and begin to destroy existing reserves.
