Many Americans are disturbed by Trump’s trampling of the Constitution and nuking of the federal government. But one group seems to love whatever it is Trump is doing: young men. New survey data show that support for Trump among this demographic has surged since the election. wapo.st/4bcNFBQ

All these new polls showing majorities disapproving of Trump, and Elon Musk faring even worse, really undermine one of the dumber narratives of the moment: That "disruption" is automatically good for Trump. Check out my exchange with @juliaazari.bsky.social on this: newrepublic.com/article/1917...

BREAKING: In a stunning moment of defiance, Maine's Governor Janet Mills stands up to Trump, saying she is complying with state and federal (anti-discrimination) law, and will see him in court over his threat to withhold federal funds. This is incredible.

New in PN: AOC shows how to fight back and stand strong "Prominent figures standing up can undermine the climate of fear that MAGA relies on to impose terror. AOC’s work on behalf of her constituents and refusal to be intimidated are models of resistance other Democrats would do well to imitate."

Americans proposed that Ukraine concede half of the profits from its mineral rights in perpetuity... in exchange for essentially nothing. This is not a monetary proposition, let alone a "deal," but rather the demand that Ukraine become a permanent American colony. snyder.substack.com/p/recoup-the...
