Yep, we're seeing the same thing. Young men actually really hate what Trump has done to the crypto market but think the Dem message is basically "shame on you for wanting to get rich." A clear area for us to be the party of strong regulation, laws, and prosperity.

Man, reading some crypto forums, Democrats should be hammering the insider trading charges. It reminded me of that times focus group where the main frustration with guys into crypto was the rug pulls/insider stuff. cc @jlray.bsky.social

Given crypto bros have gotten their wish on being a regulations free zone, no federal agency is ever going to investigate this massive level of insider trading which impacted over 1.6 million crypto traders.

I don't follow it very closely, but the crypto drop post tariff announcement really seems to have liquidated a bunch of people.

There are reports that the *entire* office of special education at the US Dept of Education has been cut. These hardworking folks ensure kids with disabilities get equal access to a quality education.

America’s children deserve better than this.

JB Pritzker has also been emphatically placing Trump's mental decline squarely on the agenda. On our pod, he adds a new element: People around Trump are using his decline to manipulate him, so they're less likely to intervene. More Dems should say this. 1/
