Near the end of the Second World War, the United States made a bold strategic gambit that rewired the international system. Empires were abolished and replaced by a global arrangement enforced by the U.S. Navy. With all the world's oceans safe for the first time in history, markets and resources were made available for everyone. Enemies became partners. We think of this system as normal—it is not. We live in an artificial world on borrowed time.

This isn’t a manifesto. It’s a dissection. “The Big Beautiful Bill” tears into the 900-page federal law that was sold to the public as reform—but operates more like entrenchment. It rewrites eligibility, compresses benefits, and cements enforcement without ever admitting who it helps and who it buries. With the precision of a surgeon and the bluntness of a veteran policy analyst who’s seen this game before, this book walks through the full scope of the law’s reach—SNAP, Medicaid, taxes, immigration, energy, education—no section left unscrutinized. There’s no fluff here. ...

Twenty-five years ago, Neil Howe and the late William Strauss dazzled the world with a provocative new theory of American history. Looking back at the last 500 years, they’d uncovered a distinct pattern: modern history moves in cycles, each one lasting roughly 80 to 100 years, the length of a long human life, with each cycle composed of four eras—or “turnings”—that always arrive in the same order and each last about 25 years. The last of these eras—the fourth turning—was always the most perilous, a period of civic upheaval and national mobilization.

More than a century ago, the new Bolshevik government began sending Soviet citizens abroad as deep-cover spies, training them to pose as foreign aristocrats, merchants, and students. Over time, this grew into the most ambitious espionage program in history. Many intelligence agencies use undercover operatives, but the KGB was the only one to go to such lengths, spending years training its spies in language and etiquette, and sending them abroad on missions that could last for decades. These spies were known as “illegals.”

What if the Republic you thought you lived in… no longer exists? In The Rise and Fall of a Republic, RJ delivers a piercing indictment of America’s slow but deliberate descent into authoritarianism.
