520    "Congressman David Cicilline offers his provocative takes 
       on Republicans, Democrats, and the world of politics in 
       the wake of Donald Trump. The rioters were still in the 
       Capitol, shattering the door to the House Chamber and 
       bellowing "Hang Mike Pence," when David Cicilline, safely 
       locked inside his office, began writing the articles of 
       impeachment that would lead to Donald Trump's second 
       Senate trial. He helped prosecute the case, earning 
       admiration from his fellow progressives and a national 
       following. But by summer he would be calling out some of 
       those same colleagues for caving to special interests and 
       attempting to block his plan to rein in the Big Tech 
       companies like Facebook and Google. Beyond sounding an 
       alarm, House on Fire identifies the key threat to our 
       democracy--that the GOP has become a Trumpist 
       authoritarian cult--and outlines how we fight back. A 
       response that must include both citizen opposition and 
       practical reforms, including an end to the Senate 
       filibuster, discarding the Electoral College, expanding 
       the Supreme Court, and requiring that justices adhere to a
       code of ethics. Cicilline actually believes in politics 
       and the system. He used them both to deliver for the 
       people in a once-corrupt city he ran as mayor and in 
       Washington, where he has risen to help lead the Democratic
       Party in Congress. In HOUSE ON FIRE, Cicilline spares no 
       one from criticism as he argues for a politics that 
       produces results and warns that without it Trump, or 
       someone worse, will take power in 2024 and make us wish 
       for the days when the only thing we complained about was 
       gridlock.    "--Amazon.
