Met Gala. New Yorker magazine features some of your favorite Democrats in their living rooms. Plus, President Trump's war on Harvard University continues. First, our friend and colleague Andrew Claven has a brand new bookout. It is a must read. It's called The Kingdom of Cain, Finding God in the Literature of Darkness.
