Mad House by Annie Karni is a gripping and explosive deep dive into the chaos that has overtaken the U.S. Congress in the Trump era. With sharp insight and vivid storytelling, Karni unpacks how a cast of outrageous characters—including Trump loyalists with outsized ambitions, a Florida nepo baby, a former used car salesman, and even a man living with rats in his walls—have turned the House of Representatives into a battleground of dysfunction. This book exposes the infighting, absurd political maneuvers, and the rise of a new wave of populist politicians who defy all traditional norms. Blending scandal, intrigue, and institutional breakdowns, Mad House is a must-read for anyone looking to understand the current state of American legislative power and Trump’s lasting influence on U.S. politics.
