My book, "Dragon on Centre Street," is out this week! The book focuses on Donald Trump’s criminal trial but it’s also about the way that our institutions have failed to keep up with the 21st century. I hope you’ll buy it and read it!

A perk of vacation was getting to read Jonah’s book today when it came out. It was interesting to read the narrative version a year after experiencing the trial mainly through a blizzard of Slack messages. Definitely worth the time if you’re at all interested in the topic.
