Young Americans are moving to the left. On virtually every issue, they support the Democratic party. A Harvard University poll taken in December 2017 found that among likely American voters aged 18-29, fully 65 percent supported Democratic control of Congress. Polls consistently show greater warmth for socialism among millennials than their elders, greater sympathy for regulation, and less interest in protecting core constitutional liberties ranging from freedom of speech to freedom of religion.
Special counsel Robert Mueller wants to talk to the president. With the pitched battle of words forever escalating—Trump’s new team of gloves-off lawyers and his vocal supporters pitted against the special counsel’s own proponents in the media—many exude confidence in Mueller’s power to subpoena the president’s testimony, assuming the eventual backing of the Supreme Court.
Our chief complaint about the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, or JCPOA, was never that the Iranians would cheat. That much was expected and they have cheated—they’ve sought banned ballistic materials, for example, and exceeded the agreement’s limits on advanced centrifuges and heavy-water production. The confirmation last month of Tehran’s dishonest reporting about its nuclear program and intentions ahead of the signing of the 2015 deal made clear that the Iranians were never going to be serious partners, just as we and other opponents long warned.
President Obama’s legacy is rapidly vanishing. The decision by President Trump to withdraw from the nuclear deal with Iran is the biggest blow, but it’s only the latest. The elimination of the individual mandate and canceling the yearly bailout of insurance companies have left Obamacare in a precarious condition. Young immigrants whose parents brought them to the United States unlawfully—so-called dreamers—are losing their legal status.
