I could not bring myself to believe that Americans were crazy enough to elect a president as unfit as Donald Trump so obviously was. But H.L. Mencken was right a hundred years ago. I don’t wish to make that mistake again. Nonetheless, Republican primary results and the drip-drip of bad legal and financial news for Trump and his 2024 campaign seems to indicate he is losing support. Perhaps it is Trump fatigue. Perhaps his small-donor base is tapped out; his fundraising is ebbing. Perhaps Earth 1 is finally breaking through to the least-committed members of the cult. Trump lately is alternately begging for money and boasting that he doesn’t need any. The Biden-Harris campaign and the DNC are lapping Trump and Team MAGA. If fundraising is a measure of support, Trump’s is slowly sinking. Then again, is still costs nothing to cast a vote, and MAGA minions are busily plotting to steal the fall election.

Around noon, my guide to the Westman Islands grabs a knotted rope and swings along the side of a cliff. Ebbi is a middle-aged man in a sweatshirt and jeans, a newsboy cap pulled low over his brow, and yet up on the cliffside he looks like an Olympic gymnast. Back and forth he goes, flying higher with each pendulum swing, until he’s close enough to reach a bird’s nest that’s nestled along a slender outcropping.

Fellow Senators, I implore you to vote yes on this bill to ban TikTok, a social media platform that threatens to throw our extremely normal media ecosystem into chaos. We must not let this app steer Americans who get their news from obscure corners of Reddit and alt-right Facebook groups toward strange ideas.
You see, democracy needs a well-informed electorate to function, and thanks to today’s very orderly information environment of rage bait, both-sides journalism, and seven-hour YouTube interviews with Jordan Peterson, our electorate has never been less confused about things.
