    Making Sense of Trump’s Mess | The Coffee Klatch for January 31, 2026
    Jan 31 2026

    Friends,

    Today, Heather and I try to unravel some tricky questions: Will Democrats rein in ICE? What’s behind the sham arrests of Don Lemon and other journalists? Will Minneapolis be the tipping point that brings Trump down? Or will it be the latest Epstein files?

    We discuss all this and more.

    Please pull up a chair, grab a cuppa, and join the conversation.

  • Trump Gives America the Finger | The Coffee Klatch for Saturday, January 17, 2026

    Trump Gives America the Finger | The Coffee Klatch for Saturday, January 17, 2026
    Jan 17 2026

    Friends,

    Today Heather and I grapple with the inescapable reality that Trump has turned America into a fascist state. From the streets of Minneapolis to the shores of Greenland, violence and the threat of violence prevail. By contrast, we talk with Lina Khan, former chair of the Federal Trade Commission and co-chair of Mayor Mamdani’s transition team, about how Mayor Mamdani has launched his social-democratic administration in New York. And Heather and I explore specific steps you can take to fight this scourge.

    Please pull up a chair, grab a cuppa, and join in the conversation — and the movement.
