In Midnight in Washington: How We Almost Lost Our Democracy and Still Could, Congressman Adam Schiff, who led President Trump's first impeachment, delivers a vital inside account of American democracy's darkest hour. Schiff argues the greatest threat comes from within, as Trump's presidency weakened institutions and fueled the dangerous appeal of authoritarianism, a peril he tracks through his own political journey.

Schiff discussed these insights and warned of authoritarianism's lasting potency during an October 14, 2021 event, in conversation with Marisa Lagos, KQED (@mlagos). This discussion was hosted by The Commonwealth Club of California, the nation's oldest public affairs forum. Explore more content: YouTube, Events, Watch & Listen, Twitter.
