  • Trump's Dire Straits: The Coffee Klatch for Saturday, April 25, 2026
    Apr 25 2026

    Friends,

    Today, Heather and I try to make sense out of this week’s riddles: What is Trump’s strategy for reopening the Strait of Hormuz? What’s he doing to stop his base from unraveling over his failed war? How can he avoid a “blue wave” in the midterm elections? And, by the way, why are jobs so hard to come by these days, anyway?

    We answer these and other riddles of the week. Please pull up a chair, grab a cuppa, and join the conversation.

  • The Good Pope vs. The Shitty President | The Saturday Coffee Klatch for April 18, 2026
    Apr 18 2026

    Friends,

    Today Heather and I are joined by our colleague Michael, who helps us dissect a wild week. What’s the truth about the Strait of Hormuz? Why did Trump and Vance pick a fight with Pope Leo? Who or what’s behind the booming stock market?

    We grapple with these and much more on today’s Klatch. Please pull up a chair, grab a cuppa, and join in the conversation.

  • War Criminal-in-Chief | The Coffee Klatch, April 11, 2026
    Apr 11 2026

    Friends,

    Today, Heather and I examine this wildly horrendous week and tackle a basic question: Did the United States win its war with Iran, or lose it? We also take a deep dive into whether Trump is a war criminal for having threatened to cause the death of an entire civilization. And we talk with our friend journalist Amy Goodman, who’s out with a new movie about her life speaking truth to power.

    So, please pull up a chair, grab a cuppa, and join in the conversation.
