Some great news to share: I'm writing a third book! Thrilled to work with @StMartinsPress again. The new book will be about the rise of American oligarchs, and how they became the best friends dictators could ask for. Welcome, one and all, to the United States of Oligarchy.

Are you going to be at SXSW next week? Join us for the debut of @HRF's new, in-person Dictator's Laundromat, where you can learn all about how despots and kleptocrats rely on shell companies, lobbyists, and the sports industry to remain in power, and wash their money clean.
Dictators don’t just steal money — they clean it, rinse it, and repeat. 💸

Last week was the single-worst week in US history in the fight against both kleptocracy and foreign influence campaigns. All because of decisions from Pam Bondi, Trump's new attorney general—who is herself a former lobbyist for a dictatorship. My latest from @MoscowTimes:.
The US government has now gutted all of the tools created to fight kleptocracy. It's going to be up to other democracies to save their political and financial systems from anonymous flows of cash.

Extremely happy to help @SenSanders spread the word on the flood of dictatorial dollars pouring through Washington, and completely upending American democracy. It’s a deluge that only keeps growing. But can we do something about it before it’s too late?.
The past few years have seen an absolute explosion in foreign money sloshing around Washington – especially from dictatorships. The golden age of global oligarchy in Washington is here. The only question now is: What are we going to do about it?
