This week, The Daily examined the machinery and consequences of American power in an election year. From the unprecedented spending flooding midterm races to the prosecution of ICE protesters as terrorists, the episodes traced how institutions shape outcomes—and how individuals navigate the systems arrayed against them. The week also ventured beyond politics into culture and wellness, suggesting that even as the nation braces for Tuesday's vote, life continues in unexpected directions.
