This story from senior correspondent Andrew Prokop was exactly the thing I needed to read today. The weekend had been stuffed with political news, including another series of “Can he actually do that?” actions from President Donald Trump. All the chaos can feel disorienting. In those moments, I turn to Andrew to make sense of what actually matters. And today he started his story on an eye-opening note: “Things that, just a few years ago, would have been thought impossible in the American system of government are now happening.”
I hope Andrew’s story also brings you needed clarity today. And if you would like to support Vox's independent journalism, please consider becoming a Vox Member today.
