Fwd: Welcome to The Weeds newsletter!

From the desk of German Lopez

Thanks for signing up for the Weeds newsletter!   For those who don't know me, I'm German Lopez, a senior correspondent here at Vox. You've probably heard my voice on The Weeds podcast, discussing issues from the FBI to marijuana legalization to health care. Now I'll be doing my best to convert the ethos of the podcast into newsletter form.   Every Friday, I'll break down what's happening on policy and why it matters, field a reader question on policy issues, and highlight some research that stuck out to me — all to help guide you through the real-world impact of policymaking under the Biden administration.   Want a preview of what you can expect from this newsletter? Check out our most recent edition here.    Want more policy reads? Here are just some of the recent issues I've covered for Vox:  America can't fix policing without fixing the country's gun problem The world's progress on climate change The case for mandating Covid-19 vaccines for kids The Covid-19 vaccines are still working America's gun problem, explained Before I let you go, I have one small request: Reply to this email with the questions you need clarity on regarding policy making under the Biden administration.    See you on Fridays,   German Lopez german@vox.com @germanrlopez      work with a one-time or recurring contribution.   View our Privacy Notice and our Terms of Service.   Vox Media, 1201 Connecticut Ave. NW, Floor 11, Washington, DC 20036.
