Friends,

Welcome back to our Saturday coffee klatch where Heather Lofthouse (executive director of Inequality Media Civic Action, and my former student) and I discuss the highlights and lowlights of the week.

Today we focus on:

— The likely indictment of Donald Trump

— Hypocrisy at Fox News

— Why Nikki Haley doesn’t stand a chance

— Senator John Fetterman’s clinical depression

— Norfolk Southern Railway’s lobbying

— Why the Fed thinks great economic news is awful

— The U.S. Department of Labor

Please grab a cup, pull up a chair, and take our poll:

Thank you to Janet Harsbberger for sending us her personal “visual” when she listens to the klatch, a painting done by her late sister Carol Baumann.
