On this week’s edition of The Breakdown Weekly Recap, NLW argues the big story of the week was actually a set of smaller stories that preview the faultlines and economic debates likely to absorb us in the coming months.

  • The beginning of the battles on fiscal stimulus

  • The introduction of the “not safe to vote” narrative

  • The Big Tech vs. The World fight
