The Fermilab Tevatron is currently the highest energy particle collider in the world. The era known as ``Run II'' started in 2001 and has provided more than 10 times the dataset of ``Run I,'' which took place in the early 1990s. The CDF and D\O\ experiments are exploiting this data to measure a wide range of quantities in a quest to test the Standard Model of Particle Physics to greater precision or to directly search for sources of new physics. I will present the current status of data-taking at the Tevatron, including a discussion of the most recent physics results. Local interests will be highlighted, including studies of the top quark from the D\O\ experiment.
