Mamdani! | The Saturday Coffee Klatch for June 28, 2025With Heather Lofthouse and Yours Truly, Robert ReichFriends, Today, Heather and I come to you from Central Park in New York City, where we assess the remarkable upset victory of 33-year-old Zohran Mamdani, a self-described democratic socialist, over former New York governor Andrew Cuomo, in the race for New York City mayor. We also take a look at the bind Trump and his lackeys have gotten themselves into — with an attack on Iran that the Defense Intelligence Agency says sets back Iran’s nuclear program by only three months and that didn’t touch Iran’s stockpile of uranium, with a mammoth (“big beautiful”) budget bill that the Senate parliamentarian has shredded, and tariffs that are already hiking prices for American consumers. Wasn’t Trump elected to keep America out of foreign entanglements and to keep prices down? Please grab a cuppa, pull up a chair, take our poll, and join the discussion.
So glad you can be here today. Please consider becoming a paid subscriber of this community so we can do even more. |
