This paragraph was written by Gunter Grass. He was looking back at the 1930s from the perspective of 1983. We will do the same some day and come to a similar conclusion about Trump.

With Kash Patel on his way out, President Trump must nominate as new FBI Director someone who can restore the bureau's non-political reputation, unimpeachable ethics and professional, no-nonsense comportment.

As luck would have it, the perfect candidate has his dance card open.

Delete Twitter, the fascist propaganda site.
As soon as this new information was unleashed, people began looking at the location data for accounts that primarily serve to stoke political tensions in the U.S. with far-right narratives that are often misleading or outright false.

Utterly ludicrous framing from @nytimes.com here, treating Pete Hegseth's arguments as if they're legitimate. The casual reader will be left with no inkling whatsoever of how unusual and corrupt an abuse of the process this truly is:

Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani should revive the DOT's plan to breathe life into Fifth Avenue with wider sidewalks, a protected bike lane, and a dedicated busway — which Mayors de Blasio and Adams shelved at the behest of powerful business interests.

There's a lot of Doomerism on here about this ("LOL the Epstein files will NEVER come out LOL") but as I argued yesterday, this dynamic can only keep sinking Trump and the GOP as long as the cover-up continues:
