Friends,
Welcome back to my Saturday coffee klatch with Heather Lofthouse (executive director of Inequality Media Civic Action, and my former student) where we discuss the highs and lows (and often, these days, even lowers) of the week. On tap for today:
— The Justice Department’s momentous decision to indict Trump. What’s the likely political and legal fallout?
— The Supreme Court’s decision to save Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act. Why did the court suddenly change direction?
— CNN’s decision to fire its CEO, Chris Licht. What should CNN have learned from this disaster?
— Last word: Heather’s “litotes” obsession. What’s your favorite example of litotes?
Is this finally the end of Trump?
