Thom Hartmann has been the nation's #1 progressive talk show host for over a decade. His program airs live weekdays from 9AM-12PM PT on 91.3 KBCS in Bellevue-Seattle-Tacoma and radio stations all across the United States. He is also a four-time Project Censored-award-winning, New York Times best-selling author of over 30 books in print.
At the event, Thom will discuss his new book, The Last American President, talk on the day's most pressing issues, and hold a Q&A and book signing.
The Last American President rips open America's wounded democracy to expose a terrifying truth: Donald Trump isn't an anomaly—he's the inevitable product of a system engineered to fail. This searing investigation reveals how a man forged by childhood trauma, pathological narcissism, and calculated cruelty didn't hijack democracy—he was handed the keys by those who should have been its guardians.
Hartmann uncovers the unholy alliance between Trump's damaged psyche and America's rotted institutions. From Fred Trump's brutal parenting to Roy Cohn's lessons in shamelessness, from a Republican Party that traded principles for power to billionaire donors who treated democracy as a profit center, this book exposes the assembly line that manufactured an authoritarian.
Katie Wilson is Seattle Mayor-elect, the co-founder and executive director of the Transit Riders Union (TRU), a democratic membership organization that has become a powerful voice for working people across Seattle and King County. Since founding TRU in 2011, Katie has led the organization for well over a decade, directing hundreds of thousands of volunteer and staff hours toward winning successful campaigns for better transit, higher wages, stronger renter protections, and more affordable housing. Through her leadership of TRU, Katie has built and managed large, multi-partner coalitions to secure the transformative victories described on this page. These wins were made possible by Katie’s deep commitment to community organizing, coalition-building, and strategic advocacy.
