We speak with Pulitzer Prize-winning journalists Carol Leonnig and Aaron Davis on the day they publish their new book, Injustice: How Politics and Fear Vanquished America's Justice Department, which looks at how the DOJ during the Biden administration was overly cautious in pursuing cases against Trump and his allies over 2020 election interference, the January 6 riot and more. Attorney General Merrick Garland felt it was important to "turn the page from Donald Trump" and not look too closely at abuses of power, says Leonnig, who also stresses many "stubbornly brave people … tried to do the right thing and could not succeed in this institution."

Voters in the United States are casting ballots in several closely watched elections on Tuesday, including mayoral races in New York, Seattle and Minneapolis, and gubernatorial contests in New Jersey and Virginia. The Nation's executive editor John Nichols says Zohran Mamdani's campaign in New York, in particular, has "captured the imagination of the country." He notes many of Tuesday's races could help shape the agenda of the Democratic Party and move it toward being "an activist party that uses government to really tip the balance in favor of the working class."
