# Event Details - **Event Name**: AMERICAN CARNAGE - **Event Start and End Date**: Wed, 04 Feb, 2026 at 07:00 pm – Wed, 04 Feb, 2026 at 09:00 pm - **Event Description**: Sasha Abramsky and Adam Hochschild on how Trump, Musk and DOGE butchered the US Government.About this EventPlease join Sasha Abramsky of The Nation and journalist Adam Hochschild to discuss Sasha's latest book, American Carnage.American Carnage follows eleven federal workers in eight government agencies from the time they were told they were fired in the early weeks of Donald Trump’s second presidential administration to the summer of 2025. With Trump having empowered the world’s richest man, Elon Musk, and his Department of Government Efficiency to make dramatic cuts to many of the country’s most important agencies, what unfolded in these months was a cascading tragedy of historic proportions.Their stories, which reveal a country in a profound moment of crisis and dislocation, are America’s stories. What happened to them—the bullying, the intimidation, the deliberate removal of financial stability—also happened to hundreds of thousands of other employees. A fierce reckoning with the intimate and far-reaching effects of these layoffs on both the individuals who lost their jobs and the millions of Americans who found their access to basic government services curtailed, American Carnage is the first book-length account of how these cuts dulled and denuded our city on the hill, leaving a morally impoverished landscape in their wake.Sasha Abramsky is The Nation's Western correspondent and the author of a weekly political column for the magazine. His work has also appeared in The Atlantic, The New Yorker Online, The New Republic, The Village Voice, The Guardian, Rolling Stone, and many other publications.
