Michael A. Cohen has been a columnist for the Boston Globe on national politics and foreign affairs since 2014. He is also the author of “American Maelstrom: The 1968 Election and the Politics of Division,” “Live From the Campaign Trail: The Greatest Presidential Campaign Speeches of the 20th Century and How They Shaped Modern America” and is the co-author with Micah Zenko of “Clear and Present Safety: The World Has Never Been Better and Why That Matters to Americans.” Michael has written for dozens of news outlets, including as a regular columnist for the Guardian, Foreign Policy, the London Observer, and World Politics Review. He previously worked as a speechwriter at the US State Department, on Capitol Hill, and at NBC; was a Senior Fellow at the New America Foundation and a fellow at the Century Foundation, the American Security Project, and the World Policy Institute; and has also been a lecturer at Columbia University’s School of International and Public Affairs.

American politics today exists in a post-truth world. The line between the politics and the substance of our policy discussions has almost completely been erased. This newsletter is focused on bringing to you evidence-based political and policy analysis - and telling uncomfortable but necessary truths about our current political moment.

If you subscribe to Truth and Consequences you’ll get multiple columns a week from me on the latest doings in American politics and public policy with a healthy dose of snark and commentary on music, movies, and sports thrown into the mix.

Truth and Consequences will host weekly Q&A sessions with journalists, historians, and political pundits as well as weekly Zoom talks with some of the smartest observers of American politics.

A paid subscription to Truth and Consequences provides access to all the content on the site as well as the comment sections and open discussion threads. And you’ll be able to participate in bimonthly Zoom talks with me and any special guests I can convince to join me!

Subscribe to get full access to the newsletter and website. Never miss an update.
