The Battle for the Soul of the Democratic Party: Nichols; Those Trump Kids: Wilentz; SCOTUS: Cohen

from Living in the USA

Before Bernie and AOC, before Jesse Jackson and George McGovern, there was Henry Wallace, FDR’s vice president, who fought for the soul of the Democratic party in the 1940s. John Nichols tells that story, and links it to today’s battles between progressives and Wall Street Democrats—his new book, out now, is “The Fight for the Soul of the Democratic Party." Next up: One of the key forces making inequality greater in America has been the Supreme Court -- Adam Cohen will explain -- his new book is, "Supreme Inequality: The Supreme Court's Fifty-Year Battle for a More Unjust America." Plus: a new episode of “The Children’s Hour” with Amy Wilentz, stories about Ivanka, Jared, Don Junior, and little Eric--boy are those kids in trouble this week! Amy of course is our Chief Jared Correspondent—and was just awarded a Guggenheim fellowship.
