The stakes of our political choices have never been higher, but with new headlines every hour, it can be hard to separate the signal from the noise.

We will explain the issues of the day, take a look back at how we got here, and draw a line ahead to what it all means. Hosted by David Chalian and Nia-Malika Henderson.MORE Hosts David Chalian, Nia-Malika Henderson.
