Filibustered!

About Filibustered!

Insider account by a sitting Senator: Combines popular history with a first-hand view of the legislative showdown over the Senate’s response to the attempted MAGA coup. TNP track with comparable book: Senator Whitehouse’s Captured has sold over 8500 copies. Platform: Senator Merkley has over half a million Twitter followers and nearly a half-million on Facebook, as well as one of the largest Instagram audiences in the Senate. He is a regular newsmaker, and is well-known to and recognized by the media as an expert on Senate procedure. Filibuster is in the news: Along with court packing and reforms to the electoral college, the filibuster is under increased scrutiny as a potential fix to what ails our democracy. Every hot button issue from voting rights to immigration to reproductive rights eventually runs into the question of the filibuster and how to get through the Senate. First popular history: Other books on the topic are from academic presses; this will be the most accessible telling of the history of this procedure, coupled with an argument to bring it back in its original form from the person leading the charge in the Senate. Popular History/Government audience: For readers of Timothy Snyder’s On Tyranny, Anne Applebaum’s Twilight of Democracy, and How Democracies Die by Steven Levitsky and Daniel Ziblatt.
