Why people recommend it
The Squad by Ryan Grim investigates the political strategies, internal dynamics, and legislative impact of progressive members of the United States House of Representatives known as the Squad. On an episode of Breaking Points, Emily Jashinsky brought up Ryan Grim's extensive reporting and books, specifically highlighting The Squad to analyze the intricate political friction and dynamic relationship between the Democratic Socialists of America and the broader progressive political movement in New York City during the political eras of figures like Mondaire Jones. Later, on another episode of Breaking Points, guest Aftyn Beane expressed her excitement during an interview by physically pulling out a book authored by Ryan Grim, which prompted the host to playfully ask whether she was referencing his prominent book about drug policy or his well-known book focusing on the congressional progressive faction. Through these discussions, podcast hosts and political commentators utilized Grim's investigative journalism and political analysis to illuminate contemporary electoral strategies, intra-party ideological battles, and the evolving landscape of progressive political organizing within the modern American political arena.
