Not Over Yet

In brief

Journalists Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan have released a book titled Regime Change: Inside the Imperial Presidency of Donald Trump, which chronicles the first year of the second Trump administration.

In a review for Commonweal, Peter Quinn notes that the authors use numerous anonymous insiders to detail a period marked by corruption and the pursuit of specific goals through Project 2025. The book describes how the administration utilized a group of loyalists to execute its plans effectively. Quinn reports that the text covers various actions taken by the administration, including the release of individuals involved in the January 6 events and legal settlements paid by organizations such as ABC and Paramount following disputes with the president.
