Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

The hand-wringers: "Oh, what CAN we do? What CAN we do?"
Heather Cox Richardson: There are 52,000 candidates on various local ballots. PAY ATTENTION: Who is fighting for democracy? REGISTER, help those candidates in their campaigns, and most of all, VOTE!!

Thanks!

Trump Is a Weak, Failing President. These Brutal New Polls Confirm It. As new national polls show Trump’s approval tanking, a leading analyst explains how the data shows that Trump is far more unpopular than is commonly acknowledged—and details why this matters for 2026.

Media and Dems are still getting this badly wrong: Trump is deeply unpopular! Recent approval numbers:

38-54 (Quinnipiac)
39-60 (AP)
40-56 (Gallup)
41-58 (Reuters)
39-56 (Economist)

On the pod, @lakshya.splitticket.org explains these numbers brilliantly. Listen:

So when I went on social media today, the first thing I saw was a story about how popular an AI account was that lets you simulate killing a woman. Next thing I see is some young guy who says he wants a slave, and women are meant to be slaves. I am so fucking done with this shit.

The superintendent they just kidnapped is a former Olympic athlete who runs footraces with the kids from his schools while wearing a maroon suit and a bowtie. This is quite simply about the people in power feeling threatened by Black excellence.

Single frame. Scene is outside the UN building entrance (on the right). A couple of flags in the foreground (France and Europe)) Trump getting blithely out of presidential car approaching entrance. Behind him, multiple car pile-up caused by his car with cars marked UN, CLIMATE, DEMOCRACY, GAZA. Security guards at entrance, one says to other: “Maybe it’s time they take away his keys…”

Car crash.
