Midnight in Washington: How We Almost Lost Our Democracy and Still Could

"Inevitably, a book by a central Democratic party figure like Adam Schiff is tinged with partisanship. So, why did I include it without including a Republican book? Because while I strive to be balanced about politics , I’m not balanced about democracy. I am pro-democracy. I want a republic and I want to make common cause with everyone who does. Schiff shows why we all must be concerned about what is happening. Perhaps it’s a partisan trumpet, but we all need a wake-up call. Eisenhower, Nixon, Reagan and Bush Republicans should be as outraged as anybody else about the way the Trump Administration tried to derail our democracy. Schiff makes the case that we should all come together to shore up our republic. Schiff was in the weeds of both impeachment inquiries. He underscores that what occurred was not normal. It was not ‘politics as usual.’ His message is in his subtitle: How We Almost Lost Our Democracy and Still Could."
