Good morning from Washington, where Democrats seize on the Postal Service as their latest weapon to attack President Trump. Fred Lucas covers a surreal House hearing with the postmaster general. On the podcast, a teacher’s lawyer describes how his client lost his job while trying to respect a student’s transition from girl to boy. Plus: what we need from Germany; the rampant silliness on campus; and, on “The Right Side of History,” black Americans who sacrificed for the land of the free. Seventy years ago today, anticipating a strike by conductors and trainmen early in the Korean War, President Harry Truman orders the Army to take control of U.S. railroads.
