Big Money Loses | The Coffee Klatch for Saturday, August 8, 2026

Friends,

Today, Heather and I take a deep dive into the so-called “civil war” inside the Democratic Party, between corporate Dems who keep spending enormous sums on primary races and progressives who keep winning them. We also look at the latest jobs report and Trump’s “trickle-down” economy, which continues to worsen. And we ponder why Anthony Fauci, of all people, has become the Republicans’ latest nemesis.

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