Good morning from Washington, where the Left is fine with a local police chief in Vermont being sidelined as a volunteer soccer coach because he’s against allowing a biological male in a girls’ locker room.

Plus: Mike Pence sees opportunity after the midterms; the White House is mum on prosecuting pro-life activists; and “Problematic Women” questions a cosmetic chain’s transgender move.
