Today, the Senate is poised to confirm Tulsi Gabbard as director of national intelligence. And tomorrow, it is likely to advance Kash Patel's nomination to run the F.B.I. These are two of President Trump's most controversial nominees. What do they have in common? They are both exceedingly loyal to the president. They both believe partisanship has poisoned the civil service. And they both promise to promote unconventional views on Trump's behalf.

Does it feel like there's something gauche - maybe a little anachronistic - about New Year's resolutions? They run counter to the idea that we should accept who we are. That we should give ourselves grace. "Do you have any New Year's resolutions?" It's a question that asks someone to believe they are inadequate. And I get that.

As he campaigns for another term in the White House, Donald Trump sounds like no other presidential candidate in U.S. history. He has made baldly anti-democratic statements, praising autocratic leaders such as China’s Xi Jinping and continuing to claim that the 2020 election was stolen. “I don’t consider us to have much of a democracy right now,” Trump said.
