Friends,
Good morning and welcome back to my Saturday coffee klatch with Heather Lofthouse (executive director of Inequality Media Civic Action), where we examine the highs, lows, and even lower points of the previous week. This morning we’re looking at:
— The Trump arraignment in Washington on Thursday. What was notable? What does it suggest about Trump’s future?
— Friday’s jobs report. Are we about to have a “soft landing” — getting inflation down to 2 percent while avoiding a recession? And if so, how responsible is the Biden administration for this Goldilocks economy? (And by the way, why isn’t Biden getting credit from the public, at least as yet?)
— Elon Musk’s X threatens to sue a nonprofit that’s been monitoring hate speech on Twitter X. Is Musk out to make X into a major source of hate in America? Will he succeed?
Please grab a cup, pull up a chair, and, if you wish, take our poll:
