I know I'm stepping into a minefield here, but I want to give a shout-out to a voice of reason in US politics: Heather Cox Richardson. She describes herself as "a history professor interested in the contrast between image and reality in American politics. I believe in American democracy, despite its frequent failures."

She publishes a daily newsletter "about the history behind today's politics." You can see her latest posts, and sign up to get the newsletter in email form for free on Substack.
