Thank you for making the tape; I listen to your report each evening. The news is not good, but putting it in historical perspective with no spin keeps me informed without being overwhelmed. And you have really good tone and tenor.
HCR is spot on! I have a question for her: My guy seems to think that Kamala Harris should have circulated the videos from January 6th? He says she would have definitely won the election. Was there a reason that she did not do this? Thoughts?
Not to the point of assigning blame. There were too many factors and no way to objectively or sufficiently measure any of them to do so. Kamala did a great job.
Thank you HCR for another great summation. Yeah to Bloomberg for stepping up. And boo to the speaker of the house for yet another attempt at gaslighting the American public with the announcement of yet another J6 investigation MAGA style. My repo se to him and others, stop trying to tell me I did not see with my own eyes and hear with my own ears the activities of that day. The committee, and courts got it right except for the leader who now sits at the resolute desks with a bushel of sharpies to govern with.
Hi Heather. I am a woman who started following, and supporting, you during the pandemic, and when I lost my unemployment and had to let go of my subscription. I wrote you a note, explaining. At that point, we had a conversation, (I can’t recall how that happened, you may have looked up my number and called me, and you offered to send me some money which, thank Goodness, (and my family), I didn’t need. Point being that at that moment, I became an extemely loyal part of your community. I have never left and I told many, many people about you and your book. I am so grateful for your work and suggestions about doing one or two things every day. I dropped my subscriptions to the Washington Post, (my hometown paper growing up), and I have subscribed to you, to the Contrarian and the Lever, (this week). I am looking at the Bullwark, although I think they may not need my money.
I can’t wait to read your second book! You have inspired me. Thank you.
Now I will wonder if Republicans will rescind sexual harassment legislation. Seems like Congress already has if congressman are sexting former Chief of staff Mark Meadows young staffers.
I really like Heather Cox Richardson’s perspective and letters! Heather is brilliant!

That's why we're all here!
I'm Canadian- I cried watching Jan 6th as it occurred- and I cry for the loss of justice. Terrifying where this is going.
Great report, Heather. I don't know how you do it... I'm exhausted just listening to all the travesties of justice going on...

No amount of woulda shoulda coulda is gonna change anything. Neither will blaming anyone. Just stop it.
Instead, adapt and cope. #Resist and #Persist.
it is o.k. for us to analyze what went wrong. It is a natural response and we need to look carefully as to why we are where we are now.

I'm not saying that Kamala didn't do a good job. It's just a question, why didn't she run a tougher campaign? I for one would like to know!
Instead, adapt and cope. #Resist and #Persist.
Good question!
You gem of a human being, Heather Cox Richardson! ❤️Leaving us with two big positives at the end of such a dreadful week.

Bloomberg has made substantial (and laudable) investments in the transition to renewable energy so there's an element of self-interest in this.
We have to surveil the terrain. We have to see exactly what we face and map the battleground. We must agree we face a mass psychosis. (See the link in this post.) https://hotbuttons.substack.com/p/mentally-impaired-psychopathic-neo?r=3m1bs

Hegseth..smh... unbelievable.
