Nut Cases in The House with The Washington Post's Dana Milbank

The great columnist for The Washington Post Dana Milbank has a hilarious/frightening new book: Fools on the Hill: The Hooligans, Saboteurs, Conspiracy Theorists, and Dunces Who Burned Down the House. Bill’s conversation with Dana highlights the perceived incompetence and extremism of the current Republican House members, including figures like Marjorie Taylor Greene and Kevin McCarthy. Milbank’s book chronicles the dysfunction and conspiracy theories within the House Republican caucus. Milbank argues that if Republicans maintain control of the House with Trump-aligned members like Mike Johnson as Speaker, it could pose a serious threat to American democracy, as they would likely seek to overturn election results at Trump's behest. The podcast emphasizes the high stakes of the 2024 House races and the need for Democrats to regain control to prevent further damage to the institution of Congress.

Bill points us to SwingLeft , an organization targeting the key races that could win control of the House and Senate. If Harris wins, she will need a Democratic Congress to get things done. Go to SwingLeft.org and give what you can.
