Description
From the halls of Congress, New York Times bestselling author Dana Milbank exposes the chaotic, incompetent and dysfunctional state of the current Republican Housea confederacy of dunces, united by paranoia and conspiracy theories, blundering from one self-inflicted crisis to the next.
When Republicans took control of the House in the 2022 midterm elections with a historically slim majority, mayhem began immediately. Failed completely. Cant govern. Broken. Lunatics. Embarrassing. Bunch of idiots. And thats how House Republicans described themselves. Take it from Marjorie Taylor Greene, who said in May 2024 that many Americans in general are sick and tired and fed up with a feckless, useless Republican Party, a conference that does nothing. This is the House of George Santos and Jim Jordan, of Lauren Boebert and Matt Gaetz. They investigated space aliens and Hunter Bidens art dealer. They punched and they groped. They championed Confederates and insurrectionistswhile disparaging the military and sabotaging the economy. They tied up the House so often with far-right fantasies that they produced what was arguably the least effective session of Congress in history.
Dana Milbank, widely-read Washington Post columnist, spent a year reporting from inside the Capitol, watching the circus from the front row. The result, Fools on the Hill, is simultaneously horrifying and laugh-out-loud funny. Sadly, it is all true.
