And I think, I'm not saying that we have to categorize or think of our work as Sisyphean, but like the joy of it, the joy of trying to fight for a better thing is like, we need to bring that back, I think, to the American sort of protest movement and the opposition.

And you know this, Tim, the thing that people miss about Trump and those Trump rallies, it's a dark joy, but there's a joy there. It's a church revival. Yeah. And like the left needs to find its own sort of spiritual belonging in all of this, some sort of catharsis and joy. And I think that that's got to power it as much as the anger and the discontent and the rage.

Well, I'm sad that this is the end of my 100-day experiment in the sense that there's so much more work to be done. I think we as media have really failed the American people by being so focused on the eastern corridor of the United States. We don't tell the stories of the human beings who are directly affected by this stuff and really on both sides of the aisle.

Like I was super moved by the story of the cancer survivors and the cancer deaths in Louisiana, your state. And what it means to dismantle environmental justice programs at the EPA and the human cost of that.

Likewise, I was fascinated talking to January Sixers who had just gone out of jail and the sense of renewal and belief and the sort of like waiting army that exists for Trump should he choose to mobilize it. And on the same note, talking to farmers in the center of this whole tariff war who are still... you know, they're still standing with Trump.

And I'm not saying that they converted me to like, oh yeah, Trump's really got, he knows what he's doing. But I think in order for anybody to sort of move this country forward in a real way that you have to talk to people, you have to listen to what they're saying. You don't have to agree with them, but we as journalists need to do a better job of covering that.

And I, I'm like so grateful in a way this has been so exhausting. My kids are so angry at me. Um, But, like, it's been eye-opening, and I hope to do it. You'll be hearing more about my projects in the next coming months, Tim. Deep tease.
