Her new novel, Trump's Superpower, drops the Founding Fathers into 2026 to react to exactly this moment.

They're cancelling the Fourth.
A White House correspondent turned historian on why.

The country turns 250 next month, and instead of celebrating, a growing list of places are cancelling the Fourth.

• The wave of Fourth of July cancellations and what's actually driving them
• Why patriotism split down party lines: she traces a "war on the founders" running from historian Charles Beard in 1913 to Project 1619, and points to a recent New Yorker piece calling patriotism a "brand" built around flawed white men like Washington
• The founders as living characters: what Jefferson, Franklin, and Abigail Adams would make of 2026 (in the book, John Adams's real warning to Abigail that "there will be no end of it... women will demand a vote" becomes a running thread)
• What America250 reveals about where the country is headed
