About this Event

For its first patio event of 2025, The Ivy is excited to host Annie Karni and Luke Broadwater, congressional correspondents for The New York Times, to celebrate their new book Mad House: How Donald Trump, MAGA Mean Girls, a Former Used Car Salesman, a Florida Nepo Baby, and a Man with Rats in His Walls Broke Congress. It's a chuckle-inspiring title, which captures something of the book's much more serious central message: The United States Congress has reached some kind of chaotic bottom.
Taking the reader into closed door meetings as House Republicans, in thrall to a cult of personality, bumble ever deeper into extremism, and sniping House Democrats lose faith in their President, the authors reveal a level of disorder that we have never seen before. Mad House is a searing, rollicking, and deeply reported portrait of a body at war with itself, riven by pettiness, egomania, and score-settling.
This book, and this event, will help us grapple with the dysfunction surrounding the next four years in the company of good, curious, thoughtful people. We think that's the best way to do it. Join us!
