Hi james,

We’re rounding out the final week of the launch of my new book, Shameless: Republicans’ Deliberate Dysfunction and the Battle to Preserve Democracy. It’s scored huge praise across the media this past week, from Morning Joe to Pod Save America, Chris Cuomo to Don Lemon, the Lincoln Project to MeidasTouch. We’re at a turning point in American politics; Shameless offers a guidebook in how to best position ourselves to win the future.

The truth is that right now, Republicans are enjoying the fruits of plans that were set in motion decades ago. From the advent of Fox News to packing the courts with conservative jurists to gerrymandering, conservatives long ago laid the foundation for the power grabs we're seeing today. My book exposes those plans so that we're no longer being caught off guard. It's essential reading to not only understand the political landscape today, but also how to rebalance that political landscape moving forward.

Shameless features interviews and insights from Pete Buttigieg, Al Franken, Heather Cox Richardson, Jen Psaki, Dan Pfeiffer, and Marc Elias, with a foreword written by Congressman Jamie Raskin. If you want to understand the state of politics today and, perhaps more importantly, how we arrived at this point, this is absolutely the book for you. If you watch my content, you know that I don't do sponsorships or paid ads. This is the one time I'll ask you to support my work. So if you'd like to order Shameless, please consider supporting independent bookstores by ordering here.

I know a lot of you receiving this have already purchased the book— to you, thank you so much! If not, we’re nearing the end of launch week. Book sales from this week will count toward The NY Times bestseller list, so if you think you might purchase it, I’d ask that you grab your copy today.

Thank you so much!

Stay focused, stay energized.

Brian
