How COVID changed everything - WHYY

Five years ago we were in the throes of the Covid pandemic. Many businesses were shuttered, their employees working from home or online. Essential workers were putting their lives at risk.

How the American Political Landscape Changed

After nearly five decades, Dan Balz is retiring from The Washington Post, where he covered 12 elections and eight presidencies as a political correspondent. On Washington Week With The Atlantic, Jeffrey Goldberg asks Balz about the state of American democracy today, and how he's seen the landscape of politics change.
