Young people are skeptical of the American Dream
A version of this story appeared in CNN's What Matters newsletter. To get it in your inbox, sign up for free here. There are some striking divides in a new CNN poll, but they aren't necessarily the partisan kind Americans have come to expect: The divides are more gray than red versus blue. The first has to do with the American Dream, which a growing number of Americans feel is out of reach. Most, 54%, still agreed with the idea that 'people who want to get ahead can make it if they're willing to work hard,' in the new poll, conducted by SSRS. What's noteworthy is that when CNN asked the same question back in 2016, more than two-thirds of respondents, 67%, agreed with that optimistic idea. Looking at the new poll's results by age, younger Americans are less bullish that they can 'make it.' About half, 51%, of those under 45, felt that 'Hard work and determination are no guarantee of success for most people,' compared with 41% of those 45 and older. There's likely some partisanship behind those numbers, since younger Americans tend to be more liberal, despite the inroads that President Donald Trump and Republicans have made with young people. But the age divide exists, to a more modest extent, even within the Democratic Party. More than two-thirds of Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents under 45 say that hard work and determination are no guarantee of success. A smaller portion, 62% of older Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents feel that way. Read the full report by CNN's Ariel Edwards-Levy. A second question in the poll asks whether the government should do more or whether it is trying to do too many things already. A majority, 58%, say the government should do more to solve the country's problems, up from just 51% when CNN asked the question nearly two years ago. More young people, 63% of those under 45, said they want more from the government, compared with 54% of those 45 and older. The government arguably does more for older people: It helps to provide health care in the form of Medicare and retirement benefits in the form of Social Security for a large portion of older Americans. At the same time, the ballooning national debt means those programs' future is on an unsustainable path for younger Americans. Asked about which party they feel represents their views on the economy, three-quarters of people over 45 picked either Democrats (32%) or Republicans (42%), leaving just about a quarter of older Americans who said neither party represented them on the economy. A larger portion of people under 45, 38%, said they did not feel represented by either party on the economy. Another CNN story published Monday might help explain some of the malaise felt by younger Americans. This is from CNN's report on the 'No hire, no fire' economy by Matt Egan: … Even as the overall labor market looks relatively healthy, economists say this is the worst market for new college graduates since the height of the Covid-19 pandemic. Recent grads are finding that it takes considerable time to get hired, leaving them unemployed and saddled with student debt for a frustratingly long time. For the first time since record-keeping on the topic began in 1980, the unemployment rate for recent graduates (those 22 to 27 years old with a bachelor's degree or higher) is consistently higher than the national unemployment rate, according to Oxford Economics. The unemployment rate for people between 20 and 24 is twice the national average, and there is evidence that companies are adjusting how they make entry-level hires as they adopt AI advancements. All of that could point to a distinct lack of optimism among younger Americans.

Trump administration requests another pause in tariff ruling on two toy companies
The Trump administration has asked for a pause in a second court ruling challenging its sweeping tariffs invoked under emergency powers. The administration asked a US appeals court to stay a preliminary injunction from last week in a case that affected two US toymakers. The filing Monday argued that halting the tariffs would threaten trade negotiations with other nations and undercut the tariffs as a 'credible threat.' Last Thursday, US District Court Judge Rudolph Contreras ruled that two American family-owned toy companies, Learning Resources and hand2mind, would be irreparably harmed by Trump's tariffs. The judge also ruled that there was no provision for tariffs in the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, under which Trump enacted the majority of his tariffs. The Trump administration quickly appealed the ruling to the US DC Circuit Court of Appeals. The ruling came during a chaotic legal week for Trump's tariffs, adding to the uncertainty around his economic vision. Though the lawsuit filed on behalf of Learning Resources and hand2mind only focuses on tariffs applying to the two companies, a broader legal case that began in the US Court of International Trade is unfolding, with potential implications for Trump's trade policies and the global economy. On May 28, the niche trade court ruled that President Donald Trump overstepped his authority to impose the sweeping tariffs under IEEPA, blocking his 'Liberation Day' tariffs and tariffs placed earlier this year against China, Mexico and Canada, designed to combat fentanyl coming into the United States. The Trump administration immediately appealed that ruling, and less than 24 hours later a federal appeals court paused the ruling, temporarily restoring Trump's ability to levy tariffs under the act. The Court of International Trade had issued a joint judgement on two separate cases: one filed by wine importer V.O.S. Selections and four other small businesses and one by twelve Democratic state attorneys general led by Oregon. Contreras, the judge in the case filed on behalf of the toy companies, issued a stay on his ruling for two weeks last Thursday. But he ordered the two companies be protected from tariffs regardless of how the case before the trade court played out. Richard Woldenberg, CEO of Learning Resources, told CNN Monday he was expecting the administration to appeal. 'We're very gratified by the ruling of the district court and believe the reasoning of the district court will be upheld,' he said. In Monday's filing in the toy companies case, the Trump administration said the district court 'lacks jurisdiction' and that the trade court exclusively has jurisdiction. CNN's David Goldman and Dan Berman contributed to this report.

CNN reporter Alex Marquardt exits after network lost $5M defamation case against Navy veteran
A CNN correspondent at the center of a nefarious report that cost the network at least $5 million for defaming a US Navy veteran is leaving the struggling network. Chief national security correspondent Alex Marquardt landed in hot water earlier this year after a Florida jury ruled that he defamed Zachary Young in 2021 by claiming the former soldier illegally exploited Afghans during the Biden administration's disastrous withdrawal from the country. Sources told former CNN media correspondent Oliver Darcy that Marquardt was fired — citing 'editorial differences' with his higher-ups at the network. Marquardt — who worked at CNN for eight years and recently spearheaded its coverage of the Russian-Ukraine war — did not mention the legal debacle or the reason for his exit in announcing the departure Monday. 5 CNN chief national security correspondent Alex Marquardt said he is leaving the network after 8 years. Jeremy Freeman/CNN 'Tough to say goodbye but it's been an honor to work among the very best in the business,' Marquardt wrote in a post on X. 'Profound thank you to my comrades on the National Security team & the phenomenal teammates I've worked with in the US and abroad.' CNN declined to comment. In January, a Florida jury awarded Young $5 million after deliberating less than nine hours following a two-week trial in Panama City state court. An undisclosed settlement was reached to resolve the matter before jurors calculated punitive damages, which could've added millions more to the total award. The verdict added fuel to President Trump's fiery criticism that CNN is biased. During the trial, it was revealed that the ratings-challenged network ignored evidence that countered its narrative. In a damning message to a CNN colleague, Marquardt wrote that CNN is going to 'nail this Zach Young motherf—er,' according to court records. A producer said that the plaintiff had a 'punchable face.' 5 Marquardt landed in hot water earlier this year after his 2021 report, which defamed Navy vet Zachary Young over claims he illegally exploited Afghans. CNN 5 An undated picture of US Navy veteran Young. FOX News The segment, which aired on Jake Tapper's program 'The Lead,' described the US government's evacuation of citizens. It went on to say Afghans 'trying to get out of the country face a black market full of promises, demand of exorbitant fees, and no guarantee of safety or success.' The segment then turned to Marquardt, who described the situation of a man located in the US whose family remained in Afghanistan and said that he found people on Facebook charging $10,000 per person to be evacuated. 5 Marquardt's report cost CNN at least $5 million. CNN Marquardt stated, 'according to Afghans and activists we've spoken with, desperate Afghans are now being exploited' because of the 'exorbitant' and 'impossible' amounts charged, pointing to a LinkedIn post from Young advertising his services and texts between him and people inquiring about his business. CNN stood by Marquardt after the verdict. 'We remain proud of our journalists and are 100% committed to strong, fearless and fair-minded reporting at CNN, though we will of course take what useful lessons we can from this case,' the network said at the time. Marquardt previously worked as a foreign correspondent for ABC News based in Moscow, Jerusalem, Beirut and London. He has won multiple honors, including Emmy and Edward R. Murrow awards for an undercover investigation of underage sex trafficking in the Philippines.
