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:

— Trump’s FOURTH indictment, this one in Georgia, and why it could be the one that sends him to jail.

— The upcoming Republican primary debate, and why Trump’s simultaneous “counter-programming” with Tucker Carlson on Elon Musk’s Twitter/X may backfire.

— The continuing tragedy on Maui, and why young people are leading the way in the fight against climate change.

— The discovery of a videotape of my guest hosting Bill O’Reilly’s Fox News TV show in the late 1990s, and why I did that.

Please grab a cup, pull up a chair, and join us. And also, if you have a moment, please take our poll:
