Yes, there were howls of pain, but they were written off by most of the elites as the moaning of sore losers mired in the past. There were always some Democratic politicians representing the old labor base who resisted the new dispensation, but these figures never made it very far on a national level. For one thing, they didn’t have the money. But as income inequality ballooned, widening the gulf between the wealthy elite and everyone else, pressures began to build. With the 2008 crisis, those forces finally erupted into plain sight, turning this book’s protagonists into national icons. At its heart, The Rebels tells the riveting human story of the rise and fight of Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez from the financial crisis on, as outrage over the unfairness of the American system formed a flood tide of political revolution. That same tide that would sweep Trump into office was blunted on the left, as the Democratic party found itself riven by culture war issues between its centrists and its progressives. But the winds behind economic populism still howl at gale force. Whether the Democrats can bridge their divisions and home in on a vision that unites the party, and perhaps even the country, in the face of the most violently deranged political landscape since the Civil War will be the ultimate test of the legacies of all three characters." --publisher's website.]]></description><link>https://princetonlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S57C1467772</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://princetonlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S57C1467772</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Green, Joshua]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 31 Jan 2024 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://princetonlibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1467772057</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and the Struggle for A New American Politics</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780525560241/MC.GIF&amp;client=pricp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[John Lewis]]></title><description><![CDATA["Born into poverty in rural Alabama, Lewis would become second only to Martin Luther King, Jr. in his contributions to the Civil Rights Movement. He was a Freedom Rider who helped to integrate bus stations in the South, a leader of the Nashville sit-in movement, the youngest speaker at the 1963 March on Washington, and the chairman of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), which he made into one of the major civil rights organizations. He may be best remembered as the victim of a vicious beating by Alabama state troopers at the foot of the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, Alabama, where he nearly died. Greenberg's biography traces Lewis's life through the post-Civil Rights years, when he headed the Voter Education Project, which enrolled millions of African American voters across the South. The book reveals the little-known story of his political ascent first locally in Atlanta, and then as a member of Congress. Tapped to be a part of the Democratic leadership in Congress, he earned respect on both sides of the aisle for the sacrifices he had made on behalf of nonviolent integration in the South and came to be known as the "conscience of the Congress." Thoroughly researched and dramatically told, Greenberg's biography captures John Lewis's influential career through documents from dozens of archives, interviews with hundreds of people who knew Lewis, and long-lost footage of Lewis himself speaking to reporters from his hospital bed following his severe beating on "Bloody Sunday" in Selma. With new details about his personal and professional relationships, John Lewis: A Life is the definitive biography of a man whose heroism during the Civil Rights movement helped to bring America a new birth of freedom." --]]></description><link>https://princetonlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S57C1474264</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://princetonlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S57C1474264</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Greenberg, David]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 31 Jan 2024 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://princetonlibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1474264057</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>A Life</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781982142995/MC.GIF&amp;client=pricp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Clifford Case and the Challenge of Liberal Republicanism]]></title><description><![CDATA["Clifford Case's career demonstrated how liberal Republicans influenced critical foreign and domestic policy initiatives between 1945-1980 regarding the Vietnam War, the passing of landmark civil rights and environmental legislation, and increasing congressional foreign policy oversight.

Game Changer]]></title><description><![CDATA["Born in tiny Searchlight, Nevada, Harry Reid rose from a childhood in a ramshackle home in the middle of nowhere to become the Democratic leader who ensured Obamacare became law, that the nation's banks played by the rules, and who helped rescue the American economy by pushing through a stimulus bill.  His political instincts were forged in the take-no-prisoners culture of Nevada where he was once investigated by the FBI for his ties to the mob. He persuaded a Republican senator to switch parties to gain partisan control, and he changed the Senate filibuster rules to save President Obama's lower court nominees. That maneuver later helped Republicans to cement the appointments of three Supreme Court justices. Reid also became a formidable force in Nevada, building a political machine that turned a red state blue and left an unmatched legacy on infrastructure and the environment--including squelching a planned nuclear waste dump.  In The Game Changer, Ralston shows the endurance of his accomplishments, but also his role in the enduring dysfunction of what was once called the world's greatest deliberative body. It is a complicated portrait of a man who would not be denied."--Amazon.]]></description><link>https://princetonlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S57C1486326</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://princetonlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S57C1486326</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Ralston, Jon]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://princetonlibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1486326057</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>How Harry Reid Remade the Rules and Showed Democrats How to Fight</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781982194413/MC.GIF&amp;client=pricp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Far From Home]]></title><description><![CDATA["A voice of reason in a polarized Senate, Lisa Murkowksi of Alaska tells the story of how she learned to survive the harsh climate of Washington, D.C., issuing a passionate call for a politics of compromise and compassion"--]]></description><link>https://princetonlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S57C1482946</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://princetonlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S57C1482946</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Murkowski, Lisa]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://princetonlibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1482946057</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>An Alaskan Senator Faces the Extreme Climate of Washington, D.C</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780593728666/MC.GIF&amp;client=pricp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Unfettered]]></title><description><![CDATA["In this candid memoir, United States Senator John Fetterman shares the story of his journey in public service, including unvarnished details of his life-threatening stroke and struggles with depression, the truth about what really happens in Washington, and his vision for navigating our divided country's future"--Dust jacket.]]></description><link>https://princetonlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S57C1484762</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://princetonlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S57C1484762</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Fetterman, John]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://princetonlibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1484762057</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780593799826/MC.GIF&amp;client=pricp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Price of Power]]></title><description><![CDATA["The first definitive biography of Mitch McConnell, revealing the personal and political life of one of the most powerful senators in American history.

During the past few years, as our country has faced unprecedented challenges, Senator Klobuchar has been in the room where it happens-on the Senate floor for critical votes during the pandemic, at the debate podium during one of the most critical presidential elections in US history, and in the Capitol on January 6, 2021, when insurrectionists stormed the building, interrupting the certification of the electoral college. It was well past midnight when Klobuchar stood beside then-Vice President Pence to officially certify President Biden's victory. In her candid, honest, and at times bitingly funny memoir, the pragmatic senator shares insider stories from these historic moments, while also inviting readers into her personal life. An underdog in the 2020 Democratic presidential primary campaign, she built surprising early momentum--only to suspend her candidacy in order to support Joe Biden. Within weeks of returning to work in the Senate, the sudden onslaught of COVID-19 hit her family directly. Her husband got very sick and spent a week in the hospital on oxygen and a month in isolation. Klobuchar shares her experience facing a cancer diagnosis while watching her beloved father succumb to Alzheimer's. She recounts the dramatic narrative of January 6 and how close we came to losing our democracy. And, with her signature humor, she reveals what it's like to work with some of her more...well, interesting...colleagues. At the crux of these stories is a narrative of resilience - of personal resilience and the resilience of a nation - and, improbably, joy"--]]></description><link>https://princetonlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S57C1461910</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://princetonlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S57C1461910</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Klobuchar, Amy]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2023 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://princetonlibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1461910057</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Surviving Cancer, A Campaign, A Pandemic, An Insurrection, and Life&apos;s Other Unexpected Curveballs</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781250285140/MC.GIF&amp;client=pricp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Deb Haaland]]></title><description><![CDATA[Biography of New York City's first Puerto Rican librarian Pura Belpré.]]></description><link>https://princetonlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S57C1465232</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://princetonlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S57C1465232</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Goodluck, Laurel]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2023 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://princetonlibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1465232057</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780593620694/MC.GIF&amp;client=pricp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Fabulist]]></title><description><![CDATA["America has grown used to larger-than-life politicians. ...

From Wall Street gigs to an amateur volleyball career, from embellished claims of Jewish heritage to a fabricated 9/11 story involving his mother's death, Santos's legend continued to grow as his web of lies evaporated in real time. ...

On January 6, 2021, America watched in horror as a violent mob led by right-wing extremist groups stormed the U.S. Capitol in support of then-President Donald Trump. It was one of the darkest days in recent history, yet to former Illinois Congressman Adam Kinzinger it was also the culmination of a cultural and political rupture he'd known had long been building. Constructive criticism from within the Republican party was no longer enough. It was time to act-not just for the sake of the soul of his party, but for the very future of our country. Despite vitriol from the media, fellow colleagues, even members of his own family, Kinzinger became one of only two Republican members to join the House select committee to investigate the January 6 Capitol riots. Now in Renegade, he reveals the inner workings and surprising findings of the committee he served and helped lead, including how the bloody attack on the Capitol was indeed foreseeable and even welcomed by President Trump. Along the way, he examines the forces that allowed such an attack to happen in the first place, from the misinformation campaign waged by Fox News and partisan media to the inculcation of extremism in families and faith communities, and draws from his own personal story of faith, military service, and politics to unpack his most crucial decisions that eventually led him to break from his own party. Part memoir, part searing examination, Renegade offers a searing account of one of the most tumultuous events in recent American history-and the devastating consequences of letting extremism go unchecked, so that the events of January 6 may never happen again"--]]></description><link>https://princetonlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S57C1464979</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://princetonlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S57C1464979</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Kinzinger, Adam]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2023 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://princetonlibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1464979057</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Defending Democracy and Liberty in Our Divided Country</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780593654163/MC.GIF&amp;client=pricp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item></channel></rss>
