Great work by NYT showing Trump's war is the most unpopular ever. Supports my argument (see below) that in some ways the public rejection of Trump across the board is a very heartening development:

Opinion | Why the GOP's mid-decade redistricting effort is unraveling Paul Waldman: Republicans have long been the ones more likely to engage in procedural hardball while Democrats worried about norms and propriety. Then Trump pushed for gerrymandering.

When Trump kicked off this cycle's redistricting battle, he probably thought Democrats would do what they usually do: roll over and play dead.

Then something amazing happened: The Dems actually decided that two can play hardball.

I have found that the sadness paradoxically contains the seeds, or perhaps the promise, of joy.

"The fact that you're politically knowledgeable and sophisticated makes it hard for you to understand that people like this exist, and also in some cases decide elections, because unlike you they're not locked into supporting one party no matter what" breaks some polisci major brains.

The grim haze that has cloaked the days leading up to the 2026 World Cup shows how joyless this country has become under the authoritarian eye of the current regime.
