Episode description

Welcome back to our coffee klatch, where Heather and I discuss the lows and lowers of the previous week.

Today we examine:

— Inequality on the high seas. Billionaires’ yachts, unsafe submersibles, and dangerous crossings for migrants. Where will this end?

— Inequality on the high court. Billionaires and the justices. Where will this end?

— Inequality in Big Tech. Google, Facebook, and Twitter open for demagogues again. Where will this end?

— How Republicans are undermining public trust in the Justice Department. And why the department’s decision to accept Hunter Biden’s plea deal is nothing whatever like the special counsel’s decision to indict Trump.

— And how Republicans are weaponizing Congress. Look at the bizarre censure of Adam Schiff.

And more.
