In this issue
The January 6 insurrectionists failed to topple the 2020 election, but Ari Berman argues in “The Coming Coup” that the Republican legislators are seizing control of how—and if—votes are counted. Reporter Kara Voght investigates the other NRA, the restaurant lobby that protected major chains at the expense of the little guys during the pandemic, in “Table Scraps.” Dan Friedman’s “The Influencer” is a totally out-of-this-world tale of the fugitive Chinese tycoon who joined forces with Steve Bannon to blanket the web with far-right propaganda. And Kathryn Joyce writes about militant right-wing activists hellbent on remaking the Catholic Church in “Holy War.”
