My Takes

Politics from the shop floor, not the studio. A GM line worker from Michigan takes readers through how the rules actually work (elections, counting, media trust), then the fights that hit real paychecks-immigration, health care costs, crime and guns, addiction, defense, and the factory-floor economy. Plain-spoken and fully sourced with checkable endnotes, this isn't punditry; it's a worker's-eye view of what's broken, what still works, and practical fixes-including a fair, level-headed look at a modern Constitutional Convention. If you're tired of cable noise and want something useful for union halls, classrooms, or book clubs, this book gives you arguments you can verify and next steps you can act on. One-line hook: Politics, explained by the guy on the clock-not the guy on TV.
