My Chris Hayes segment

It was a pleasure to speak with Chris Hayes and
Leah Litman on MSNBC about the current and previous threats to democracy discussed in my book, The Presidents and the People.

CNN on The Presidents and the People

I spoke to CNN International about the Supreme Court, the immunity case, and how Trump might escape accountability even if the Court stops short of saying former presidents have absolute immunity for official acts. I also gave a preview of some of the arguments I make in The Presidents and the People.

I contributed to NY Times piece, "What Trump Looks LIke to Historians."

The New York Times Opinion Section columnist Thomas Byrne Edsall Thomas Byrne Edsall previews the arguments of my new book, The Presidents and the People: Five Leaders Who Threatened Democracy and the Citizens Who Fought To Defend It. Specifically, he quotes me on what is unique and not unique about Trump's threat to Democracy.

a criminal president

There are few checks to protect democracy from a criminal president. In today's New York Times, Peter Baker gives a shout-out to some arguments from my forthcoming "The Presidents and the People: Five Leaders Who Threatened Democracy and the Citizens Who Fought To Defend It." He also nicely highlights my use of Patrick Henry to make the threat clear.
