This is a lovely summation of a wonderful writer, and a trusted observer and reporter on the American experience through the lens of our history. Thank you for putting into words the way I feel as I eagerly tune in to this woman's measured, articulate, and altogether satisfying message every evening. Heather Cox Richardson has done more to educate, uplift, and energize me than any other writer I follow; she inspires me to honor the truth of those carrying the flag of sanity, strength, freedom, and justice through these perilous times, and raise my voice in solidarity and hope.

Heather Cox Richardson deserves the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

It would be disrespectful to her if Trump gave it to her. Obama would be my choice.

I doubt Trump even knows who she is, and if he does, he no doubt tells himself she's a "radical left lunatic." And speaking of lunatics, we'll have to wait for a sane administration. Whether this regime will be tossed into the dustbin of history or will stand as the latest atrocity that makes “Never again!” a broken promise remains to be seen.

A wondrous salute to a brilliant force of history telling. She informs, reminds, instills calm, retains objectivity, & ignites curiosity… every single night.

What a joy & privilege to be in her audience. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

I read her disciplined review every day. She is a glimmer of sanity and hope amongst the insanity of the Miller’s of the world as are you. Thanks to you both for the necesary and actually essential work you both do.

I can’t imagine a day being complete without my having read Heather Cox Richardson and/or watched her Politics Chats. She is a precious gem.

HRC is a national, if not world, treasure for her observations as we live through this shitshow that is the trump regime.

I find her writing clear & concise, helping me to make some sense of what is happening elsewhere, as I sit watching on from Australia.

May we & all beings be well, happy & at peace ✌️🕊️🙏🌏🇦🇺

HCR is the best.

Heather Cox Richardson was recommended listening by a Federal international investigative agent at the beginning of Tempertantrump’s first election campaign. The agent said he was a con man and was correct.
