Dionne is a bestselling author, twice-weekly political columnist for The Washington Post, a frequent commentator on politics for NPR and MSNBC, Senior Fellow at the Brookings Institution, visiting professor at Harvard University and professor at Georgetown University. He’ll be at the J in conjunction with the release of his eighth book, Code Red: How Progressives and Moderates Can Unite to Save Our Country, which comes out just one week before his visit.

Code Red breaks through the political noise and challenges conventional wisdom, combining reporting and analysis with a realistic look at political possibilities. Dionne provides a blueprint for uniting progressives and moderates through shared goals of social tolerance, economic justice and democratic values while addressing the impatience many people feel with past failures. And he lays out a path forward, because at this point in the country’s history, change can’t wait.
