Sen. Chris Murphy of Connecticut sees the current crisis in the U.S. as more than a political one. Americans have lost the sense of daily purpose and connection that are vital to happiness, becoming anxious, angry, and adrift, and the rich and well-connected have nearly uncontested control of our politics. 
Sen. Murphy views the Trump administration’s assaults on democracy as a symptom of a deeper crisis: the abandonment of the common good as our country’s organizing principle. In Crisis of the Common Good: The Fight for Meaning and Connection in a Broken America, he draws on history and political philosophy to expose how six different cults have paved the way to our current troubles: a cult of profit that punishes workers, a cult of globalism that weakens communities, a cult of technology that turns us against one another, a cult of consumption that undermines citizenship, a cult of credentialism that devalues those without degrees, and a cult of corruption that threatens democracy. Sen. Murphy offers a new politics of the common good that is deeply rooted in our past, a radical challenge to the status quo, and capable of drawing support across the political spectrum, with a majority of Americans favoring policies that curb corporate power, control predatory technology, enhance face-to-face connection, grant workers greater control of their lives, and remove big money from our politics.

Join us for a candid conversation with former First Lady Jill Biden about her life in the White House during a singular moment in U.S.&nbsp;history—and her new memoir,&nbsp;View from the East Wing. 
In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, in the shadow of the January 6 insurrection, Joe and Jill Biden arrived at the White House for one of the most complicated periods in recent American memory. A tireless advocate for women’s health initiatives, military families, cancer prevention, and education, Dr. Biden also made history as the only First Lady to hold a career outside the East Wing as a community college professor.  Now, in her new memoir, she reveals her experience of these deeply consequential four years for the first time—before, during, and after the unexpected ending to her husband’s bid for re-election, setting the record straight and sharing her story in her own words.  
Hear&nbsp;Dr.&nbsp;Biden tell her story live—the unprecedented pressures of balancing the duties of the First Lady with her role in her family, behind the scenes stories from Camp David and Air Force One, how the Biden presidency changed the nation, what she saw leading up to President Biden’s decision to drop out of the 2024 election, her unwavering faith in democracy and the American experiment, and much more.

Stand-up comedian and podcaster Jared Freid has been dubbed the “Dear Abby for dudes.” If dating feels like it makes no sense, you’re not alone. Freid has answers, and not because he’s been there, but because he is there, in the dating trenches with you.
In Walking Red Flag: Dating Advice from Your Favorite Guy Friend, Fried explains what men are thinking without defending them. No bro-code excuses. Just honest decoding of the behavior driving single women and their group chats insane.
Drawing on his experience hosting the dating podcasts “U Up?” and “The JTrain Podcast,” and over two decades of single guy experience, Freid covers how to meet people IRL and conquer dating apps, hooking up, breaking up, loving being single, staying hopeful, and more. Walking Red Flag is an honest and earnest dating survival guide, helping you figure out how to get through it with humor and understanding. Because dating today isn’t just mixed signals and inflated egos—it’s real emotion colliding with people who don’t know what they’re doing but are (usually) trying their best.

In The Day After: How to Wield Power in a Post-Trump World, Brian Tyler Cohen—a&nbsp;progressive independent media creator and the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Shameless—explores how Republicans have abused power, how Democrats have refused to exercise power when they held it, and how progressives should wield power if they are fortunate enough to win a free and fair election in a post-Trump world. 
This book is a wake-up call about the decades-long project that led to Trump’s America&nbsp;and a&nbsp;playbook for progressives who want to do far more than restore the status quo.&nbsp;To Cohen, this is how we build a stronger country, with hope and opportunity for all — before our democracy slides into a distant memory. 
Cohen’s&nbsp;YouTube channel&nbsp;has&nbsp;five billion views and counting. His&nbsp;podcast, “No Lie with Brian Tyler Cohen,”&nbsp;is a destination for the top names in politics.&nbsp; 
A book signing will follow the event for those who would like their name added to their book.

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Underground Railroad and two-time Pulitzer winner comes Cool Machine, a novel that brings to life 1980s New York in the final volume of his Harlem Trilogy.
New York City is beginning to emerge from financial decline, energized by real estate development and a Wall Street unchained by Reagan-era predatory capitalism. In Harlem, business owner/master fence Ray Carney has just been named Sterling Furniture’s Dealer of the Month. When the banks won’t give his wife a loan for her new travel agency, Carney gambles on one last heist, and finds himself entangled with Pepper, a legendary criminal mastermind.
Carney has always been haunted by his inability to save his cousin Freddie. Now, twenty years after Freddie’s death, he has a chance to rescue Freddie’s son from the violent forces of the city, but it will mean risking the safety and security he’s spent decades building for his family, with only one shot to get it right. Cool Machine roves all over a city in transition, from Windows on the World to the Meadowlands, to show that in New York, it’s what’s below the surface that reveals the truth.This program will be a 30-minute lecture by the author, followed by 30 minutes of pre-collected audience questions.

Eight years after redefining “flavor without fuss,” Yotam Ottolenghi—one of the most influential voices in contemporary food—offers Simple Too, the follow-up to his bestselling cookbook, Ottolenghi Simple. In a world of endless notifications, Ottolenghi explores what “simple” means now and why bold flavor remains at the heart of simplicity. In conversation, he’ll share recipes that work with you, not against you, and dishes you can begin with half a plan and still end with a deeply satisfying meal.
Ottolenghi will dive into the ingredients and techniques that shape this new collection: beans simply dressed, black chickpeas, sesame in generous handfuls, sweet-and-spicy balances, pasta cooked directly in its sauce, and whole meals roasted in a single tray. He’ll also introduce the “Fundamentals” chapter—fifteen fridge-ready flavor builders like spring onion oil, green salsa, za’atar oil, confit tomatoes, and chilli crisp—small things that make big differences on busy weeknights. Simple Too is less about doing less and more about making everyday cooking feel generous, achievable, and full of joy.Renowned for his vegetable-forward cuisine and imaginative approach to everyday cooking, Ottolenghi’s acclaimed cookbooks include Plenty, Jerusalem, Simple, Flavor, and Sweet. His work extends to successful delis and restaurants, where bold combinations, fresh produce, and multicultural inspirations meet.
