"We are living through a coup, and the United States of America, a 248-year-old democracy is on the ropes."

But, as Heather Cox Richardson emphasizes, "it's not over. At all." That is from her Feb 4 livestream/YouTube. (I'm still watching that one.)

But from her Feb 2 livestream/YouTube:

We have maybe 3-4 weeks to stop the deep damage Musk and Co. are doing, HCR says.

We have a very important assignment from HCR – or the damage will be irreversible and a major economic depression becomes virtually inevitable. But she believes it can be done.

Here is Heather Cox Richardson's Politics Chat (originally live-streamed on Facebook on Sunday night, Feb 2).
