About this episode
Welcome to another of my Saturday coffee klatches with Heather Lofthouse, my colleague at Inequality Media Civic Action (and my former student). Grab a cup and pull up a chair.
This week we discuss:
— Why Democrats exceeded expectations in the midterm elections.
— What will happen during the lame duck session?
— What can we expect for the 2024 presidential race?
— Why is Elon Musk warning that Twitter may go bankrupt?
(Thanks to this week’s jingle composers, Corey Kaup, Deirdre Broderick, and Peter Lambert.)
