Good morning from Washington, where Democrats shield bureaucrats from Donald Trump’s accountability measure. Mary Margaret Olohan reports. In California, conservatives are targeted by the governor’s hate commission, our Tyler O’Neil writes. On the podcast, national security expert Sumantra Maitra explains why Queen Elizabeth II was so close to the hearts of her subjects. Plus: illegal immigrants outside her house put the lie to the VP’s “border is secure” nonsense; Senate Democrats seek GOP votes for their divisive marriage bill; and House conservatives reject the Left’s priorities. On this date in 1940, the House and Senate pass legislation, by wide margins,  imposing the first peacetime military draft in U.S. history.
