  • On today's Sunday podcast, Isaac and Ari discuss the recent election of a new Pope, and find a new nickname for Ari. They also talk about the criticism surrounding their review of Trump's presidency, addressing concerns about the adequacy of their analysis in light of the current political climate. The conversation highlights the challenges of providing objective political commentary while acknowledging the emotional stakes involved for listeners. They discuss the challenges of uniting a divided nation, critique the coverage of political events, and reflect on Biden's comments regarding Kamala Harris's campaign. Then they play a game about recent UN members. And, last but not least, a shared gripe for the Airing of Grievances.

  • At Tangle, we’ve recently been reflecting on our coverage from the past five years, identifying stories that we covered once or twice, thought could reshape our lives, and then… they didn’t. And we’re asking: What happened to that story? 


    So today, we’re trying to figure out how one story in particular has panned out. The topic should be familiar to most: the 2022 baby formula shortage. As we’ll get into below, the story combined pandemic-era challenges with existing supply chain issues (and a bit of bad luck), raising fears that millions of infants across the U.S. were facing a nutritional crisis. But did those concerns come to bear? And are the underlying issues actually resolved?

  • On Sunday, President Donald Trump announced that he will authorize the Department of Commerce and the United States Trade Representative to institute a 100% tariff on movies produced in foreign countries. “Other Countries are offering all sorts of incentives to draw our filmmakers and studios away from the United States. Hollywood, and many other areas within the U.S.A., are being devastated. This is a concerted effort by other Nations and, therefore, a National Security threat. It is, in addition to everything else, messaging and propaganda!,” Trump posted to Truth Social. “WE WANT MOVIES MADE IN AMERICA, AGAIN!”

  • On Thursday, President Donald Trump signed an executive order directing the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) and all executive departments to end federal funding for National Public Radio (NPR) and the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS). The order claims that the outlets fail to offer “a fair, accurate, or unbiased portrayal of current events to taxpaying citizens” and instructs the CPB to “cancel existing direct funding to the maximum extent allowed by law” and “decline to provide future funding.” Executives at NPR and PBS called the order unlawful and said they would challenge it.

  • Since there’s so much to cover, we’ll be reviewing President Donald Trump’s first 100 days in a two-part edition. This edition is part one, and we’re sending it to all subscribers. 


    Today, we’ll examine Trump’s central campaign promises and the degree to which he has kept them. Consistent with past reviews of Biden and Trump, we’ll use a “promise meter,” a 1–10 scale measuring how well Trump has kept his promise (with 10 being the best score). This is not our judgment on any policy’s efficacy or value, it is only a judgment on how well Trump has kept each campaign promise. In other words, this edition will be an objective (as much as we can make it) overview of Trump’s stated goals and how well he has kept to them. 


    Tomorrow, we’ll release part two, where we’ll get into a more subjective overview of Trump’s term so far. In it, we’ll cover some actions and events that weren’t among Trump’s major campaign promises, share views from the left and right on his first 100 days, and then I’ll give “My take.” The full version of tomorrow’s Friday edition will only be available for paying Tangle members.

  • On Monday, Canada held a federal election for members of the House of Commons to the 45th Parliament. The Liberal Party, led by Prime Minister Mark Carney, won a plurality of seats, securing a fourth consecutive term in power. The Conservative Party placed second, and party leader Pierre Poilievre lost his seat, casting his political future into doubt. While the Liberals did not take enough seats to win a majority, as the party that received the most votes they will now put forward their party leader, Carney, to retain his position as prime minister.

  • In recent weeks, the Trump administration has heard a range of proposals to increase the fertility rate in the United States. While taking questions in the Oval Office on Tuesday, April 22, President Donald Trump expressed support for a “baby bonus” that would pay $5,000 per delivery to the women who have children, calling it a “good idea.” Additionally, advocates and policy experts have pitched the White House on scholarship allocations for married people or parents, new government funding for education on conception, and a “National Medal of Motherhood” awarded to women with six or more children.

  • On today's Sunday podcast, Kmele Foster joins Isaac and Ari to discuss race, identity, and racial categories. They explore personal anecdotes, societal perceptions, and the implications of race in science and genetics. They also get into the complexities of genetic diversity, the absurdities of race science, and the implications of racial disparities in society, as well as cultural stereotypes, the dangers of racial pride, and the need for a more nuanced understanding of race in policy discussions. They talk about the passing of Pope Francis and the complex relationship between faith and politics, particularly focusing on the legacy of the Pope and the reactions to his political involvement. And, as always, the Airing of Grievances.

  • In today's Friday edition, Executive Editor Isaac Saul makes the argument that President Biden is largely responsible for the historic surge in illegal immigration during his term. He goes over some of the policies that created the problem such signaling a more relaxed immigration stance, undoing effective Trump-era policies, and dramatically expanding parole programs through executive action. He discusses some factors that were outside Biden's control like post-pandemic labor demand and congressional failures. Finally, Isaac concludes with some thoughts about achieving a sustainable, humane immigration system — a lesson Democrats must now confront.

  • While answering questions in the Oval Office on Tuesday, President Donald Trump made a series of remarks that appeared to soften his previous criticism of Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell and stated that he intended to reduce U.S. tariffs on China. The comments sparked a stock market rally, though Trump did not indicate whether a trade deal with China was imminent.

  • In the past week, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has been the subject of scrutiny from former staffers and anonymous sources within the federal government, leading to an unconfirmed report that President Donald Trump was considering replacing him. On Saturday, April 19, three senior Department of Defense (DoD) officials who had been fired for allegedly leaking sensitive information criticized their dismissals in a public statement on X. Then on Sunday, The New York Times reported that Hegseth shared sensitive information about U.S. strikes in Yemen in a second Signal chat that included his wife, brother, and personal lawyer. Also on Sunday, former chief Pentagon spokesman John Ullyot wrote an op-ed in Politico describing the DoD as in “total chaos” under Hegseth and calling for his firing. Finally, NPR reported that the White House had begun to search for Hegseth’s replacement on Monday, though the White House denied the report.

  • On Monday, the Vatican announcedPope Francis died at the age of 88. Francis, the Catholic Church’s 266th pope, had led the Church since 2013 as a relatively progressive pontiff, grounding many of his beliefs in social and economic justice. The pope’s cause of death was identified as a stroke that led to a coma and heart failure; the stroke followed his February 14 hospitalization with double pneumonia. He recovered and was released from the hospital on March 23 but made few public appearances. On Sunday, he blessed a crowd of thousands in St. Peter's Square after Easter Mass, his final public appearance.

And then we talk about all the things we don't know that we think we do know including this kind of shocking story on ADHD that was published in the New York Times Magazine.

Then we bring on Tangle team member and Senior at Harvard University Audrey Moorehead to talk more about Harvard and some of the controversy happening there.

  • On April 10, the House of Representatives passed the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, a bill requiring proof of citizenship for voters to register for federal elections. The bill passed the House 220–208, with all Republicans and four Democrats in favor. House Republicans attempted to pass the SAVE Act in September 2024 as part of a government-funding bill, but the chamber voted 220–202 against that version of the bill. 


    The SAVE Act must secure at least 60 votes in the Senate to meet the filibuster threshold, meaning seven Democrats would have to join all Republicans to pass it. So far, Democratic leaders have urged members to vote against the bill. 


    In today’s Friday edition, we’ll explore the key questions undergirding the debate over the SAVE Act. In typical Tangle style, we’ll share a range of arguments about the bill from the right and left, in addition to commentary from experts we interviewed for this piece. Then, we’ll give our analysis of the bill.

  • On Monday, President Donald Trump hosted Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele at the White House amid a protracted legal fight over Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a man mistakenly sent to prison in El Salvador by the Trump administration. During an Oval Office press conference, Bukele said he did not have the power to return Abrego Garcia to the United States.
