At the United Nations, Donald Trump lit up the room with blunt warnings on climate change, energy, and migration. He blasted the “green energy scam,” called out Europe’s immigration crisis, and even made headlines on NATO and Russia.

It’s Climate Week, but we’re looking at the waste and corruption behind U.N. climate funds — and the $2.2 billion California solar boondoggle that never lived up to its promises.

Fresh polling shows Democrats in trouble with Gen Z and losing ground on crime, immigration, and the economy. Meanwhile, Virginia faces a disturbing Title IX complaint after a Fairfax County school allowed a biological male in the girls’ locker room — and Rep. Abigail Spanberger is dodging questions.

Finally, Kamala Harris continues her Burn Book tour, with awkward stops on Maddow, The View, and Good Morning America. But will excuses and finger-pointing change her standing with voters?
