What grade would you give this week?

Episode description

Hello friends,

Welcome back to my Saturday coffee klatch with my colleague Heather Lofthouse (Executive Director of Inequality Media Civic Action — and my former student), where we talk about the highs and lows of the week over morning coffee. Pull up a chair.

Today we cover:

— The (potentially last) January 6 committee hearing, and where do things go from here?

— The new bad inflation number, and why the Fed’s rate hikes don’t seem to be working (and what Democrats should be saying about inflation).

— Alex Jones has to pay almost $1 billion to the families of the victims of Sandy Hook, and what’s the likely effect?

— Should we be talking about this time as “post-pandemic?” (Thank god for boosters.)

Plus this week’s poll.
