🇺🇸 Does America Have Just 1,251 Days Left? | Karel Cast Ep. 25-76 🇺🇸 Does America Have Just 1,251 Days Left? | Karel Cast Ep. 25-76 It’s been 209 days since Donald Trump returned to power — and with 1,251 days left in his term, America faces a crisis like never before. From LGBTQ+ hatred and xenophobic travel bans to attacks on reproductive rights and democracy itself, this presidency feels like an unrelenting nightmare. Can our nation survive the next 1,251 days? In today’s Karel Cast, we break down the damage already done — and what’s at stake if we don’t stand up. From climate denial to defunding healthcare, the assault is daily.
