🚨 REPLICATION REPORT UPDATE: One year ago, a tweet by John Holbein alerted me, @ollefolke.bsky.social, and @jopieboy.bsky.social to a paper with a shocking result about Sweden’s law criminalizing the purchase of sex.🧵

Guys, this isn't that hard to understand. They remember Trump as the time before COVID and Biden as the time after COVID and the oldest members of that cohort were 21 when Trump took office. They thought a vote for Trump was a vote for pre-COVID times and they got this instead.
As Trump’s approval has dipped, he has lost the most ground with young people. POTUS is down 23 points w/ voters under 30 since Nov ‘24.

What happened to the big GOP gains with them? I think they were more about anti-incumbent bias and elasticity than MAGA.

Firings are happening right now at the National Science Foundation. Essential staff are being cut.

This isn’t about the budget. If it was, they’d be going after the military (17%) or state appropriations (38%). NSF is 0.7% of the federal budget. All federal employees make up only 4% of the budget.
