Heather Cox Richardson - Letters from an American
19 September 2023
I highly recommend Heather Cox Richardson’s blog, which began 4 years ago. She is a Professor of History at Boston College and a prolific writer, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heather_Cox_Richardson.
Her recent post at https://heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/september-17-2023 begins:
Friday, September 15, was the fourth anniversary of these Letters from an American, although they did not then have a title. When I posted a roundup of what I thought was going on in the government on Facebook that day, I had no idea it was going to be anything other than a marker for the future.
I wrote a review of Trump’s mental decline amidst his faltering presidency, stonewalling of investigations of potential criminal activity by him or his associates, packing of the courts, and attempting to use the power of the government to help his 2020 reelection. And I added: “None of this would fly in America if the Senate, controlled by Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, were not aiding and abetting him.”
“This is the story of a dictator on the rise,” I wrote, “taking control of formerly independent branches of government, and using the power of his office to amass power.”
She writes about history and politics, from a liberal perspective. Her blog link is at https://heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/.
