We’re now two months into 2026, roughly a quarter of the way through Donald Trump’s second presidency, and things have been grim. Overseas, Trump’s government has attacked Venezuela and kidnapped its head of state, killing at least 83 people in the process. Trump is now threatening Colombia, Cuba, Mexico, Iran, Greenland, and Nigeria with the same kind of aggression, and that’s the short list. At home, ICE troops have murdered Renee Good and Alex Pretti in the street, and they’ve killed at least six people in nightmarish detention centers across the country. Measles is spreading everywhere, thanks largely to the anti-vaccine propaganda of people like Robert F. Kennedy, Jr, and the literacy rate continues to slide downward, while the economy and the environment are consumed by AI data centers. The state of the union, frankly, is a train wreck. Or it would be, if we had any decent trains to begin with.
