“Annie Karni and Luke Broadwater are two of the best congressional reporters in the business, and this dishy, fly-on-the-wall chronicle of the 118th Congress is neon proof. Mad House is an organized account of utter bedlam, a flamboyant tale of the House’s most outlandish members—their vanities, idiosyncrasies, rivalries, and devil’s pacts—that both beguiles and horrifies. It’s one of the most involving books about politics I’ve read in a long while.”—Jennifer Senior, New York Times bestselling author of All Joy and No Fun and winner of the 2022 Pulitzer Prize for Feature Writing “Every so often, a book comes along that makes you feel extremely hopeful about America. This is not one of those books. Mad House contains cyanide and candy on every page, which proves to be a killer combo. I loved it.”—Mark Leibovich, author of #1 New York Times bestseller Thank You for Your Servitude “A field guide for those struggling to understand how the U.S. Congress got quite this crazy, Mad House by Luke Broadwater and Annie Karni also happens to be a delight to read—a vivid, deeply reported, and frequently entertaining account of the grifters, con men, and merely ambitious pols who populate the Capitol in this age of Trump. It’s a must-read for the Republican-ruled Washington that looms in 2025.”—Susan Glasser, New Yorker staff writer and co-author of the New York Times bestsellers The Divider and The Man Who Ran Washington “New York Times politics reporters Karni and Broadwater, who cover Congress, paint a detailed picture of what one veteran Republican representative called a ‘shitshow.’ . . . Nancy Mace, George Santos, Jim Jordan, and many others come in for a drubbing, though Karni and Broadwater take time to review the endless series of Democratic Party mistakes that led to Joe Biden’s running against Trump in 2024 for as long as he did before dropping out. Much more fun than the Mueller Report, but just as damning.”—Kirkus Reviews
