Tim, Sarah, and JVL were in Phoenix, Arizona over the weekend to give their thoughts on how Donald Trump’s second presidency is going. Long story short, it’s all so much worse than they expected.

Baseball is back! What better way to escape the winter doldrums and the constantly dour news cycle, but with false hope that a team you love is going to win the World Series? I was able to make a few hours to enjoy my first Opening Day Parade here in Cincinnati, a city that takes baseball very seriously.
A blip of good news! If you watched my previous interview with TNR’s Greg Sargent, you’ll be happy to know that his shining a light on the State Department canceling the Yale Humanitarian Research Lab’s contract to gather intel on kidnapped Ukrainian children helped get the contract reinstated.
Make some time… For Conan O’Brien’s Mark Twain Prize speech. It’s wonderful.

Tom Nichols has long said that many of these GOP House members don't want to go back to their home districts, and that's definitely the case with Elise. I think she was desperate to get out of Upstate New York and go spend all of her free time in upscale restaurants in New York City away from the common man. Not happening now. Six years of doing all of those cringey "Trump thumbs up" pictures for nothing.
I like the weekly summary! Or digest, whatever.
