The NYT knew the mango Mussolini better over a longer period of time than any other news organization. I appreciate the expectation that true journalism is neutral BUT I struggle to forgive their behavior in not screaming from rooftops before the election. Too little, too late.

My father was an FBI agent and a WWII pilot. If he was still alive, he would find Trump’s appointments of Kash Patel and Pete Hegseth beyond insulting. Trump has infected large parts of our nation with losses of honor and decency. Rescuing them from the Trump cult will require tremendous effort.

Marcy Wheeler (emptywheel) has been covering national security issues for a LONG time and has been relentless in her detailed coverage of people like Patel that mainstream news often gets wrong.
