I’m Isaac Saul, and this is Tangle: an independent, nonpartisan, subscriber-supported politics newsletter that summarizes the best arguments from across the political spectrum on the news of the day — then “my take.”

Dear readers,

Somehow I forgot to mention it last week, but our team is off for Presidents Day today as we are for all bank holidays. Since I forgot to tell you, I just wanted to write to you quickly and let you know why we won't be in your inbox. We'll be back tomorrow with our normal coverage.

In the meantime, I also wanted to let you know about some content you might have missed.

  • First, if you live in New York or nearby, let me remind you that we are coming to New York City on April 17th for a live event. Tickets here.
  • On Friday, our paid subscribers got a piece titled "Joe Biden and Donald Trump are not the same," where I criticized a new genre of commentary that flattens the two candidates’ weaknesses as equal. You'll have to subscribe to read it. I'm biased, but I think it's worth it.
  • Ari and I had our now-weekly podcast where we talk about some of our coverage, chat about breaking news, bring on guests, and explore different topics. This week, he and I discussed Zionism, the many definitions for it, and whether or not we’re Zionists. You can listen here.
  • Our Bill O'Reilly interview is now the most watched video ever on our YouTube channel. You can watch it here.
  • For Valentine's Day, I interviewed my wife, Phoebe. This is quickly becoming a listener favorite. You can check it out here.

Thanks for supporting our work! Hope you all had a great weekend, and we'll see you tomorrow.

Best,

Isaac & the Tangle team
