Sen. Dianne Feinstein, a California Democrat, told young climate activists in 2019, "You didn't vote for me." AP Photo/Gemunu AmarasingheBut most policy debates aren't genuinely existential in the way climate change is. "Younger Democrats tend to have a much more friendly relationship and response to the party's activist class than older Democrats do." Fossil-fuel interests have played a central role in stymieing progress on climate change for decades. Nearly a decade later, Trump ran for and won the presidency — with Gingrich's early and staunch support — while calling climate change a "hoax."

“If you are an organization that’s using some type of these tools…it can be pretty confusing.”The city law will potentially impact a large number of employers. New York City in 2021 had just under 200,000 businesses, according to the New York State Department of Labor.

More youthful representation would better serve the country, young members of Congress say. But members of Congress, political scientists, and strategists generally don't blame age for these downfalls — leaders both young and old are prone to controversy. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez made history in 2019 as the youngest woman ever elected to Congress, at 29. "I was always accustomed to being the youngest," Schatz told Insider at the Capitol. The nation needs "more principled members of Congress," Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert of Colorado, 35, told Insider, adding: "It doesn't matter their age."

☆ Trump campaign throws a COVID-19 lifeline to an indie bookstore in New Jersey, buying Rep. Dan Crenshaw's new book in bulk

"It helped us pay the staff, the rent, the insurance and keep the lights on," Books & Greetings owner Kenny Sarfin said. Campaign committees are increasingly making bulk book purchases, which help juice sales numbers and propel politicos' writings onto bestseller lists. The sale follows an earlier $400,000 order of Crenshaw's book by the National Republican Campaign Committee, Politico first reported. The Trump campaign did not reply to several request for comment. While political-committee book purchases are en vogue, it's rare for Republicans — or Democrats — to purchase so many from a mom-and-pop operation.
