The new history by Chris Wallace, bestselling author of Countdown 1945 and Countdown bin Laden.

Beyond the divide between Republicans and Democrats, there exists a more significant dichotomy: The Uniparty versus the American people. Comprised of members from both major political parties, the Uniparty espouses beliefs that are out of touch with the values of ordinary citizens. They have pushed endless wars, centralized government in American life, and claimed our interests are somehow aligned with those of the globalist elites. Worst of all, they truly believe the backward notion that freedom and stability are luxuries for the enlightened.

From bestselling author and Washington Post columnist Dana Milbank, Fools on the Hill is the funniest, you-can't-believe it inside story of the current GOP House. With a group that includes some of the zaniest hooligans to ever serve in Washington, Milbank details in comic detail the countless shenanigans, absurd chaos, and self-inflicted paralysis that symbolizes the state of the Republican Party under Trump--and how this House does everything but govern, at everyone's peril (and confusion).

The election of 1872 was the most contentious in American history. After both parties complained of corruption, neither candidate would concede, two governors claimed office and chaos erupted. Rival newspapers engaged in a bitter war of words, politicians plotted to overthrow the government and their supporters fought in the streets and attempted assassinations. The entire country watched in grim fascination as the wounds of the Civil War were ripped open and the promise of President Grant’s Reconstruction faltered in the face of violent resistance and the birth of the Ku Klux Klan.

Power to the People addresses growing voter apathy and disenchantment worldwide - that familiar sense that governments have become decoupled from their constituencies, that votes no longer count, and that politicians and institutions are too focused on short-term issues to grapple with complex global issues such as climate change and rising inequality. The book is structured into two halves, the first half diagnosing problems and the second half proposing solutions. Danny urges listeners to make a positive difference through engagement and active citizenry.

Award-winning journalist and CNN correspondent Elle Reeve was not surprised by the insurrection at the Capitol on January 6, 2021. With years of in-depth research and probing interviews under her belt, Reeve was aware of the preoccupations of the online far right and their journey from the computer to QAnon, militias, and racist groups. At the same time, Reeve saw a parallel growth of counterforces, with citizen vigilantes using new tools and tactics to take down the far right.

An influential journalist who is also active in the hacktivist collective Anonymous, Brown recounts exploits from a life shaped by an often self-destructive drive to speak truth to power.

Renée DiResta’s powerful original framing explains how public opinion is now shaped through a virtual rumor mill of niche propagandists. While they position themselves as trustworthy Davids, their reach, influence, and economics make them classic Goliaths, invisible rulers who create bespoke realities that control the destinies of millions of people, their work driven by a simple maxim: “if you make it trend, you make it true.”

It didn't begin with Donald Trump. Since the time of FDR, the Republican Party has been home to conspiracy thinking, including a belief that lost elections were rigged. And when Republicans later won the White House, the party elevated their presidents to heroic status—a predisposition that eventually posed a threat to democracy. John Kenneth White proposes to explain why this happened—not just the election of Trump, but the authoritarian shift in the party as a whole that led to the insurrection of January 6, 2021, and its aftermath.
