"On the Media" invited me on to chat about my recent piece on Stephen Miller's theory of how to do fascist politics, and how JB Pritzker's understanding of it is shaping a new kind of Democratic response. It's short and well-edited! Hope you enjoy:

@npr.org's Tom Bowman: "I've held my Pentagon press pass for 28 years....Did I as a reporter solicit information? Of course. It's called journalism: finding out what's really going on behind the scenes and not accepting wholesale what any government or administration says."
