Coffee klatch: Will Congress do anything about guns? U.S. weapons to Ukraine. Trump and upcoming Jan 6 hearings. Spelling bee. Coffee.

My informal weekly coffee with Heather Lofthouse (the executive director of Inequality Media Civic Action, and my former student), discussing the past week.

In this morning’s klatch we discuss whether Congress will do anything to restrict gun purchases (Biden’s passionate plea notwithstanding), how long America will be willing to supply weapons to Ukraine, the likely outcome from next week’s hearings by the House’s special committee investigating the January 6 insurrection, the winner of the national spelling bee, and the importance of drinking coffee.

Know someone who might want to listen to this conversation over coffee? Please share.
