Jay Inslee Is Running on Climate Change. The Issue Is Catching On, So Why Isn’t He?

For years, climate change was an issue of passionate concern to a few voters, but never enough to ripple presidential politics. The Hillary Clinton-Donald Trump debates in 2016 notoriously did not include any questions from moderators about global warming. But after an alarming onslaught of floods, wildfires and catastrophic weather, dire scientific warnings about the impact of a changing planet and a president who dismisses it all, climate change has moved up drastically in polls of Democratic voters’ priorities. In some surveys, it has equaled or topped health care and jobs. And that raises a paradox: Why is the only candidate making climate change the center of his campaign, who has rolled out ambitious policies and has a track record of achievements, Gov. Jay Inslee of Washington, stuck in the polling basement? Mr. Inslee, a two-term governor who served 15 years in the United States House of Representatives (where he was a prominent opponent of the Iraq war), is pol...

President Trump on Saturday started his four-day visit to Japan by declaring that Tokyo has a “substantial” trade advantage over the U.S. — and that he hopes a future trade agreement will rebalance the situation. Trump, speaking to businessmen at the U.S. ambassador’s residence, hailed the U.S.-Japanese relationship.

He has threatened Japan with tariffs on automobiles and auto parts if Japan does not give ground to the U.S. ...

Trump Is Pushing Democrats to the Brink. Look at Elijah Cummings.

Even after President Trump sued him last month to keep his business records secret, Representative Elijah E. Cummings kept his cool and urged Congress to move slowly on impeachment. But as Mr. Trump ratchets up his campaign to block Democrats’ access to documents and witnesses, the ordinarily careful Democrat is, like the rest of his caucus, growing impatient. “It sounds like he’s asking us to impeach him,” Mr. Cummings, the chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Reform and a top lieutenant to Speaker Nancy Pelosi, said in an interview last week. Ticking off all the ways Mr. Trump is stonewalling Congress, he added, “He puts us in a position where we at least have to look at it.” Mr. Cummings’s remarks — echoed by Ms. Pelosi on Tuesday after the White House stepped in to stop the former White House counsel Donald F. McGann II from handing over documents to House investigators — represent a significant shift for top Democrats, who have been trying to maneuver careful...
