This is an important book and I hope people are paying attention. It's also a preview of what Project 2025 would do, if given the chance.

Excited & proud that our book is published today! And it couldn't be more timely. We studied what happened to media freedom in the US under Trump, with a deep dive into the Voice of America. We show how this important public broadcaster was 'captured' by the administration...🧵
