How to Lose Friends and Antagonize Presidents
Coming this fall: How to Lose Friends and Antagonize Presidents by Sen. Thom Tillis.

What Fauci’s Innermost Musings Reveal
New York Times: “More than 1,100 pages long and dating from 2019 to 2022, Dr. Fauci’s diary reads like a black comedy of manners in which a 79-year-old social-climbing scientist becomes the face of the government’s response to a pandemic and then the toast of the town — the toast of this town. As the death toll rises, so too does the doctor’s status and self-regard. He falls in with a fast crowd and becomes consumed by his own image.”
“It’s like Thackeray’s Vanity Fair crossed with The Plague by Camus.”
NPR: Rand Paul released Fauci’s pandemic-era “diary.” Now they’ll face off on Capitol Hill.
Can This Man Save Democrats?
Politico: “Ben Wikler wanted to lead the Democratic Party after his party’s disastrous 2024. But Wikler, the former Wisconsin Democratic chair, may ultimately help Democrats even more with his new book: This Is the Plan: How to End America’s Meltdown and Save Democracy.”
”Equal parts memoir, political history and how-to guide, Wikler does what Democrats desperately need — he grabs them by the proverbial lapels and demands they pay as much attention to their structural and long-term challenges as they do Donald Trump’s latest outburst. He also has some fun along the way.”
‘Regime Change’ Sells 500,000 Copies
“Regime Change, the juicy exposé on President Trump’s second term by Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan, has passed the publishing milestone of 500,000 units sold (hardcover, audio, e-book) in just one month,” Axios reports.
”Publishing sources tell me the blockbuster is on track to be the bestselling nonfiction book of 2026.”
Brett McGurk Releasing Book On Hamas Hostage Crisis
“A lead U.S. negotiator for the release of hundreds of people captured by Hamas during the Oct. 7, 2023, attacks in Israel will have a book out this fall,” the Associated Press reports.
“The Penguin Random House imprint Crown has scheduled Brett McGurk’s Brink: Inside the Race to Free the October 7 Hostages for Oct. 6, nearly three years to the day after the deadly Hamas siege that left more than 1,000 people dead and more than 200 taken captive.”
Biden Will Release Memoir Just After the Midterms
“Former President Joseph R. Biden Jr. has written a memoir that will be released two weeks after the midterm elections this fall,” the New York Times reports.
Inside the Fantasy World of Donald Trump
The Economist: “Pundits often say that Trump World resembles Game of Thrones because it is a place where horrid people do horrid things in pursuit of power. Fiddlesticks. The main reason why Trump World is like a dragons-and-zombies saga is that its protagonists live in a land of make-believe.”
“Especially President Donald Trump, whose understanding of reality seems to be based on snippets he once heard and wishes were true. Regime Change, an account of his second term by two New York Times journalists, Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan, brims with examples.”
Muskism
Just published: Muskism: A Guide for the Perplexed by Quinn Slobodian and Ben Tarnoff.
“Everyone’s got an Elon take. He’s a messiah. A menace; a genius; a clown. The verdicts differ, but they share one theme: they treat him as an individual.”
“Muskism argues otherwise. Elon Musk isn’t a glitch in the system—he is the system. His worldview promises sovereignty through technology: plug in, power up, and become self-reliant. But the more you connect, the more he owns you.”

Trump Didn’t Recover From ‘Co-President’ Elon Musk
New York Times journalists Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan told Morning Joe that Elon Musk‘s stint as “co-president” last year created a level of “destabilization” from which the Trump administration has never recovered, The Wrap reports.
Said Haberman: “You had Elon Musk — and we get into this in great detail — essentially serving not as a co-president but as a co-president for parts of the first four months or so… That created so much destabilization of this government that I think they also never quite recovered.”
Financial Times: Regime change — the chaos of a court built around Donald Trump’s instinct.
This Is the Plan
Out next month: This Is The Plan: How to End America’s Meltdown and Save Democracy by Ben Wikler.

New Book Depicts How Trump Hobbled His Presidency

“Journalists Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan tell the story of a president who fought his way back from 2021 political exile to the White House — and then allowed overconfidence, improvisation, and impulse to hobble his second presidency.”

Aide’s Book Exposes Trump’s Pressure Tactics on GOP
The New York Times reviews Glory, Grief, and the Gavel: An Inside Guide to Running for Speaker of the House by John Leganski.
“It is unusual for a top congressional aide to write a tell-all book, and much of Mr. Leganski’s is filled with the kind of wonky detail that only a political junkie would crave. But his real-time account of the arm-twisting sessions that Mr. Trump has employed for years to keep Republican lawmakers in line provides fresh insight into a familiar phenomenon that is seldom recounted on the record by someone who witnessed it firsthand.”
The Department of Revenge
Just published: The Department of Revenge: How Trump Took Control of American Justice by Devlin Barrett.
“No part of life in the United States has been untouched by Donald Trump’s relentless weaponization of the Justice Department. This is a cautionary tale about how, once a president amasses such power, future presidents may never relinquish it.”
