The Supreme Court has denied a lawsuit filed by Laura Loomer, a far-right conspiracy theorist, against social media platforms and individuals. Loomer alleged a coordinated effort to censor her on social media, arguing this impacted her congressional campaigns after she was banned from platforms like Twitter and Facebook for “hateful” conduct. Her lawsuit named various defendants and claimed they conspired to suppress conservative speech, but lower courts dismissed the case, finding no violation of the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act.

Recent survey data indicates a significant decline in former President Donald Trump’s approval rating among young people aged 18-29, with a 35 percentage point drop since November 2024. This shift potentially reverses the trend observed in the 2024 election, where Trump saw increased support among younger voters, particularly Hispanic voters, due to policies like tariffs and immigration. While some polls show a contrasting improvement, the overall trend suggests that Republicans may struggle to maintain their gains if this decline persists, potentially impacting the 2026 midterm elections. The decline is likely due to the rising cost of living, cultural issues, and perceived self-interest.
