Trump approval amongst Gen Z plummets, Democrat identification is on rise, it seems, is the current prevailing thought. It’s a significant shift, especially considering the initial support some in this age group appeared to have. There’s a lot to unpack here, and it’s important to understand the layers of this change.
Initially, a segment of Gen Z seemed drawn to Trump’s perceived authenticity, his “tell it like it is” approach. There’s a certain appeal in someone perceived as being outside the traditional political mold, who seemed to challenge the status quo. However, what some may have missed, and are now perhaps seeing more clearly, is the potential for such “authenticity” to be a mask for something far less palatable.… Continue reading
The article highlights the increasing support for abolishing ICE, spurred by the agency’s actions, including the killing of Renee Good in Minneapolis. Despite rising public sentiment, establishment Democrats are hesitant to embrace the “Abolish ICE” movement, instead focusing on incremental reforms and distancing themselves from more progressive stances. Recent polls reveal that a plurality of Americans now support abolishing ICE, with a significant shift in public opinion, suggesting that this stance may be on its way to becoming more mainstream. The author argues that Democrats risk political failure by continuing to avoid this issue, missing an opportunity to differentiate themselves and address the growing concerns about ICE’s role and actions.

Trump Backs Down on Insurrection Act as Democrats Take the Offensive, but it’s Complicated.

As the government faces another potential shutdown, Democrats are urged to leverage this opportunity to address the delayed release of the Epstein files. With the public largely in favor of transparency and a law already mandating the files’ release, Democrats should make any funding vote contingent on the appointment of an independent special master to oversee the release, as evidence suggests a cover-up. This strategy would place blame squarely on President Trump if he refuses, potentially exposing child sex traffickers and those who may be complicit. Ultimately, this approach offers Democrats a chance to unite, garner public support, and hold the administration accountable.

Following a federal court’s approval of California’s new maps, Virginia Democrats advanced their own redistricting plan, aiming to redraw congressional maps and potentially flip several Republican-held seats. This move, along with California’s victory, represents a significant counteroffensive against the Republican-led redistricting efforts initiated by former President Trump. These changes could potentially secure an additional nine seats for Democrats in the upcoming midterm elections. While other states like Texas, Missouri, and North Carolina have seen Republican-led map redraws, these Democratic victories signify a shift in the ongoing redistricting battles.

More than 70 House Democrats have initiated impeachment proceedings against Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, accusing her of fostering a “reign of terror.” The impeachment effort, led by Representative Robin Kelly, includes charges of obstructing Congress, violating public trust, and misusing government funds.

While the “Defund the Police” movement faced political setbacks, “Abolish ICE” may see a different trajectory. ICE’s net approval rating has plummeted, and the agency is increasingly viewed with hostility, in part due to its perceived overreach under the Trump administration. Unlike local police forces, ICE lacks historical support or an emotional connection with the public. With a shift in public sentiment and increasing criticism of ICE’s tactics, Democrats are likely to find political advantage in advocating for reduced funding or the agency’s complete abolition, and possibly with little or no political backlash.
