  • Trump's executive orders targeting law firms.
    Beginning in February, President Donald Trump issued a series of orders targeting law firms that he claims have engaged in “conduct detrimental to critical American interests.” The firms named in the orders — Covington & Burling, Paul Weiss, Perkins Coie, Jenner & Block, and WilmerHale — have previously represented clients or hired lawyers that opposed Trump and his administration. Several firms have brought lawsuits to challenge the executive actions, while others have sought deals with the White House.

  • The Signal chat controversy and everything else we missed.
    On Monday, March 24, The Atlantic published a partial transcript of communications among Trump administration officials as they discussed impending military operations against the Houthis in Yemen over the Signal messaging app. The outlet’s editor-in-chief, Jeffrey Goldberg, had mistakenly been added to the chat and was privy to sensitive discussions about the details of the attack (including types of aircraft, missiles and launch times, as well as the name of a CIA operative). Goldberg’s initial article omitted parts of the group’s communications on the grounds that it could jeopardize the lives of U.S. personnel, but he published the entire transcript on Wednesday after several administration members disputed his characterization of their contents.

  • FULL EPISODE - Question Everything: Can Journalism Save a Marriage? (Featured on This American Life)
    A few months ago I made a decision that changed my life and the trajectory of Tangle for good.I was approached by a producer for a new podcast called “Question Everything,” hosted by Brian Reed (who you might know from the hit podcast S-Town). The producer, Zach St. Louis, told me they were doing a series about the state and future of journalism. They wanted to do an episode about Tangle, which I agreed to enthusiastically, and then Zach came down to the Tangle office and interviewed me for a few hours. During our interview, I mentioned to Zach that we’ve heard from many readers who said Tangle has helped them with their relationships with people in their family or friend groups with whom they share political disagreements. I even hear from married couples, I said, who are on opposite sides of the political spectrum. Zach was intrigued by this and ended up tracking down a few of those Tangle readers, including one couple who ended up being at the heart of the episode. A few months after Question Everything published our show, it was picked up by This American Life on NPR, which nearly doubled our readership and helped me make a few big hires at Tangle. It all happened right around the election, and was an incredibly exciting and overwhelming time. Now that the dust has settled a bit, we’ve decided to republish the original Question Everything episode on our own podcast feed so you all can listen to it (in the event you haven’t). And, when you're done, I highly recommend going to listen to all of the Question Everything series — which is a genuinely fascinating exploration of journalism.Isaac & the Tangle teamBy the way: If you are not yet a podcast member, and you want to upgrade your newsletter subscription plan to include a podcast membership (which gets you ad-free podcasts, Friday editions, The Sunday podcast, bonus content), you can do that here.

  • INTERVIEW: Ari talks with Christian Paz from Vox
    If you’ve ever read one of Vox’s famous “Explainer” articles, you’re probably familiar with Christian Paz’s work. His reporting is at the forefront of several animating issues in U.S. politics — immigration, the courts, the cultural impact of the Make America Great Again movement, and more. One recent story of his caught our eye and prompted us to reach out for an interview. The piece — titled “The Democrats’ young man problem is real” — offers a detailed look at the shift away from the Democratic Party among Gen Z in the 2024 election and the factors that are driving the trend. It touches on topics like artificial intelligence, social media, the Democratic brand and the unique appeal of Trump, and Paz makes a compelling argument about how these factors could come into play in 2026, 2028, and beyond. When we reached out to Paz, we were hoping to hear more about the ideological roots of this shift, but the conversation also ended up delving into the structural and cultural forces at play in the United States. Whether you’re on the left, right or center, this is a discussion that highlights probing questions about our political moment and how each party is adapting to a new generation of voters coming into their own. We’re excited to share the conversation and hear from you about the central question it raises: Have Democrats lost an entire generation of men?Ari & the Tangle teamBy the way: If you are not yet a podcast member, and you want to upgrade your newsletter subscription plan to include a podcast membership (which gets you ad-free podcasts, Friday editions, The Sunday podcast, bonus content), you can do that here.

  • INTERVIEW: Ari talks with Jack Nicastro from Reason
    I lived in California for four years. In that time, I left San Francisco because of wildfire smoke twice, helped plant trees in burn scars three times, and got a taste of the constant concerns over the pressure of cataclysm that native Californians have gotten used to. I say all that not to establish myself as an expert in California and its issues, just to say that when the Los Angeles wildfires broke out earlier this year, I saw the continuing of a story that had been underway for decades, if not millennia. One of the chapters in that story is housing. It’s no secret that constrained housing has been an issue plaguing U.S. cities, especially on the West Coast. That issue has bubbled up in public discourse several times in the past year, with a case on homeless encampments making it to the Supreme Court and narratives of immigrants squeezing housing supply influencing the 2024 election. However, fewer people were connecting issues in the housing market to the California wildfires. One of the people making the case that the two were closely intertwined was Jack Nicastro, who wrote a piece in Reason Magazine about how California’s policy exacerbated the effects of the wildfires.The piece gave a very cogent argument, and I knew I had to talk to him about it. Like me, Jack is not a California native. The two of us aren’t authorities on Los Angeles. However, we’re both very interested in housing policy, the wild-urban interface, and perverse incentives of government regulation. I sat down to talk to Jack for 25 minutes about his article, and that conversation turned into a 45-minute nerd-fest over libertarian theory and the residential insurance markets.I really enjoyed getting the chance to talk with Jack Nicastro for the Tangle podcast, and I’m really glad we get to present the whole conversation to you in full.
