The extreme right on the Supreme Court and the Big Liars in the GOP

My informal weekly coffee with Heather Lofthouse (Executive Director of Inequality Media Civic Action, and my former student), discussing the past week. Today we talk about three things giving Heather a headache and making Bob’s blood boil — the Supreme Court become so radically rightwing that even John Roberts has lost control over it, a Republican Party become so nuts that it’s impervious to the January 6 committee hearings, and economists and policymakers at the Fed become such apologists for corporations that they’re blaming inflation on wage increases rather than on corporate profits. Heather also gives old Bob the nicest compliment he’s ever received. Please pull up a chair. This is a public episode.
