Welcome to the Authoritarian Kleptocracy, Part XXVIII

Apologies for the very long delay in website updates! We are now really on “Welcome to the Authoritarian Kleptocracy, Part One Billion”.

Here’s what happened on a personal level since I last posted in May. My book, The View From Flyover Country, became a bestseller. (You can buy it here.) I went on tour all over the country, and am still somewhat on tour, with appearances in Boston and Miami coming up in the next month. I signed a deal with Flatiron Books to write two more books, the first of which will come out in mid-2020.

In July, I launched a biweekly podcast with my friend and fellow journalist Andrea Chalupa. It’s called “Gaslit Nation” and it chronicles corruption in the Trump administration and the rise of authoritarianism in the US. “Gaslit Nation” quickly became a top 100 podcast for News & Politics and garnered over 1000 five star reviews on iTunes, stunning me and Andrea. (We really thought it would just be our moms and our stalkers listening!) Andrea and I are now trying to raise enough money for the podcast to go weekly. (If you would like to help keep us going, our Patreon is here.)

As all of this happened, the country continued to collapse, and I got lax about updating this site given the constant bombardment of horror and chaos and sadness and rage. It’s been an overwhelming time. I’m guessing you understand.

Anyway, here is a sampling of articles, interviews, and podcast episodes I did over the past four months. The rest are out there somewhere! I’ve gotten a lot of requests to update this website more frequently and I’ll try to keep it up. I’m very grateful for all the support from my readers and listeners.

Finally, and this goes without saying: PLEASE VOTE IN THE MIDTERM ELECTIONS. Vote like it’s the last ostensibly free and fair election you’ll ever see. Because it might be.
