EDITORS—Her prosecutorial reign in California was a disgrace. Now Kamala Harris may bring her dubious talents to the top office in the nation, even though the job is all pomp and no substance, as all the big decisions are made elsewhere, in the true corridors of oligarchic power hidden from the public’s view.

EDITORS—We know that America has been fighting the Battle of the Bulge for a long time, and losing, but its usual partner in crime, Britain, is also afflicted by the fat epidemic. In this powerful documentary we get an inside look at the NHS hospital fighting the obesity epidemic in the UK. Subscribe to Our Stories: https://bit.ly/3lzSXhv One of the UK’s biggest and busiest obesity units opens its doors to allow an exclusive insight into the battle with the bulge. Sunderland Royal Hospital is at the heart of one of the fattest places in the country and deals with thousands of patients turning to surgery to beat their obesity. But before they go under the knife, they need to come to terms with why they’re overeating. At 47 stone, 29-year-old Terry is one of the biggest patients the unit has ever treated.

INDRAJIT—So much of what I am—my fundamental tender-heartedness—comes from my grandparents. The political beliefs in my family are wildly different (and seem to skip generations) but the practical motivation is the same. Politics is an adaptation to different material realities, but the spiritual chain is, I think, unbroken. I must say that I’m worse than my grandparents—I have much more but I don’t do that much—but I want to be more like Achchi, I do. God knows we had less of her for years and now we have none at all.

ROOSEVELT HOUSE INSTITUTE—Roosevelt House hosts a special evening featuring Nancy Isenberg, author of the groundbreaking bestseller White Trash: The 400-Year Untold History of Class in America, in conversation with Frank Rich, Writer-at-Large for New York Magazine, and Bill Goldstein, Public Programming Curator for Roosevelt House. Isenberg, the T. Harry Williams Professor of history at Louisiana State University, has updated the paperback of White Trash to include updated reflections on the 2016 presidential election. As Isenberg and Rich will discuss, the voters who boosted Trump all the way to the White House have been a permanent part of our American fabric, from the earliest British colonial settlement to today’s hillbillies. Isenberg’s White Trash upends assumptions about America’s supposedly class-free society – where liberty and hard work were meant to ensure real social mobility.
