New York Times bestselling author and former U.S. Attorney Barbara McQuade joined Seattle City Councilmember Debora Juarez at Town Hall Seattle to discuss her book, The Fix: Saving America from the Corruption of a Mob-Style Government. Drawing on decades of legal experience, McQuade makes the case that threats to American democracy are not merely possibilities, they're already here. Weaving together courtroom stories, political analysis, and cautionary lessons from history, she exposes government tactics like information warfare, aggressive retribution, and the dismantling of legal checks and balances. But The Fix is not just a warning. McQuade also offers reforms and strategies she believes can reclaim the rule of law and return power to the people.
