For today’s special pledge show, host Esty Dinur sits down with David Corn to talk about his new book, American Psychosis, “a fast-paced, rollicking, behind-the-scenes account of how the GOP since the 1950s has encouraged and exploited extremism, bigotry, and paranoia to gain power.”

David Corn is Mother Jones‘ Washington bureau chief and an on-air analyst for MSNBC. He is the author of several bestselling books, most recently American Psychosis: A Historical Investigation of How the Republican Party Went Crazy (Twelve Books, 2022).
