Why it matters

The stakes turn on whether readers accept that Senate Republicans are privately warning that the chamber's bipartisan cryptocurrency measure, the CLARITY Act, is likely to fail. That point shapes the political meaning of the story.

Common ground

The clearest point to anchor on is this: Senate Republicans are privately warning that the chamber's bipartisan cryptocurrency measure, the CLARITY Act, is likely to fail.
