Does anybody else get Heather Cox Richardson 'Letters From An American'.

I don't know much about her except that she is a historian of Republicans and she writes this daily letter summing up the Trump events of the day. Should i be promoting her here? She seems absolutely truthful. Very critical of Trump undoing democracy. She is good at both the details, the context and the big picture. She has the wide scope of an intellectual. I find her informative about the crisis in the US since I am an outsider. I wonder if she is acceptable to the DU if we should not be promoting her daily letter to those in our lives who are independant and Republican. It is free. You just have to subscribe.
