An essential part of Tangle is engaging with readers — through live events, email exchanges, and now in social channels like Reddit and our new texting platform, Subtext. But something we’ve done since the beginning is answer a reader question in our main newsletter. Over time, we’ve gotten more questions than we can answer — but many of the questions that haven’t made it into the daily newsletter or podcast are still worth answering.
So we devote an occasional Friday edition to getting to the questions we didn’t have the space to answer. A lot of these questions allow us to get into more detail and cover ground we might not cover in the daily newsletter, so we love the opportunity to dig in and go deep. Today, the whole Tangle editorial team is fielding your questions on topics ranging from abortion to immigration to our editorial standards. Enjoy!

Today on Suspension of the rules, Isaac, Ari, and Kmele talk about Nick Fuentes and your reactions to the piece Tangle published last week and some of the blow back in right wing media circles. We then jump into the big Jeffrey Epstein email drop that happened today. Then we revisit the shut down and talk about how maybe the Democrats mightve actually won the shut down. Plus some short and sweet grievances.

On Thursday, November 6, the Supreme Court grantedthe Trump administration’s request to temporarily pause a lower court ruling to allow transgender and nonbinary Americans to self-select their sex when applying for a passport. The decision was issued through the court’s emergency docket and was unsigned, though Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson dissented and was joined by Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan.

On Monday, U.S. Pardon Attorney Ed Martin announced that President Donald Trump had pardoned several top aides and advisers from his first administration, as well as dozens of people involved in his efforts to challenge the results of the 2020 election. Those receiving pardons include President Trump’s former Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, adviser Boris Epshteyn, and attorneys Rudy Giuliani, John Eastman, Kenneth Chesebro, and Sidney Powell. None of the recipients has been charged with a federal crime, but the pardon will protect them from future prosecution related to the 2020 election (though they can still be prosecuted at the state level).

On Sunday, the Senate voted60–40 to advance legislation to end the federal government shutdown after Republicans reached a deal with several Democratic senators. The package includes the continuing resolution passed by the House of Representatives with amendments to include three bills (known as a “minibus”) that will collectively fund the operations of Congress, the Department of Agriculture and the Food and Drug Administration, and programs and benefits for veterans in fiscal year 2026. As part of the deal, Congress will also fund the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) through fiscal year 2026. However, the deal will not include an extension of enhanced Affordable Care Act credits, which Democrats had been demanding as part of a deal. Instead, Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) promised a vote in December on extending the credits.

Last week, Tucker Carlson released an interview with the far-right commentator Nick Fuentes. The interview has caused a firestorm on the right, dividing the MAGA base over how Carlson handled the interview — and bringing up questions about who should be platformed. But when I listened to the interview, I heard something much more interesting that nobody seems to be talking about: the origin story of one of the country’s most notorious bigots. I thought that story actually offered some important insights. I’m going to share what I learned.

On Wednesday, the Supreme Court heard oral arguments in the consolidated cases of Learning Resources, Inc. v. Trump and Trump v. V.O.S. Selections, Inc., both of which challenged some of the president’s authority to unilaterally issue foreign duties. Trump has justified his broad “reciprocal tariffs” on U.S trading partners by declaring a national emergency under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA), which prompted the legal challenges. The court’s decision could set the precedent for presidential authority over trade and the use of emergency powers.

On Tuesday, voters cast ballots in the first election cycle since the start of President Donald Trump’s second term. Democrats won the most closely watched races decisively, including Virginia’s and New Jersey’s gubernatorial elections, Pennsylvania’s Supreme Court retention vote, and the New York City mayoral election. Furthermore, several ballot measures passed decisively. Californians passed Proposition 50 to approve mid-decade redistricting, Mainers voted down a voter ID ballot measure and approved the creation of a “red flag” law, and Texans amended their state constitution to ban noncitizen voting and codify parental rights.

The key 2025 races. Today is election day in the United States, with voters in cities and states across the country deciding on a host of key elections and ballot measures. Some races, like the New York City mayoral election, have been in the national spotlight for months; others, like the Pennsylvania Supreme Court retention elections, have flown under the radar but could be nationally impactful for years to come.
Today, we’re publishing a special edition exploring these critical elections. We’ll break from our normal format to give each one proper attention — sharing a brief overview of each race, two divergent perspectives on it, and a bit of our own analysis as voters head to the polls. At the end, we’ll also share several important ballot initiatives. Then, tomorrow, we’ll follow up with a breakdown of what happened in each race and the implications of those results.

On this special Election Day episode, we delve into the complexities of New York City's mayoral race and its broader implications for the Democratic Party and election reform nationwide. Senior Editor Will Kaback interviews John Ketcham, Senior Fellow and Director of Cities at the Manhattan Institute, exploring the challenges of closed primary systems and the disconnect between public support for reform and political action. This conversation aims to shed light on the national debate over election systems and primary reform and how these issues could shape the future of American politics.

On Saturday, the ongoing government shutdown caused federal funding for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) to lapse. The funding gap will delay scheduled payments to many program beneficiaries who use the money to help cover food costs, putting the roughly 42 million people receiving benefits at risk of food insecurity. On Friday, two federal judges ruledthat the government must keep the program at least partially operational using contingency funding and gave the Trump administration until Monday to respond to the order.

Today, we are going to fulfill the promise we made with a criticism of what I wrote, penned by Associate Editor Audrey Moorehead. Audrey is a fantastic writer, great thinker and awesome colleague, and I enjoy debating with her as much as I do anyone on staff.

Last Thursday, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) announced it had made arrests in a pair of investigations into illegal gambling involving National Basketball Association (NBA) players and coaches. Miami Heat guard Terry Rozier is among those charged in the illegal sports betting case, while Portland Trail Blazers coach Chauncey Billups and several others are charged with participating in rigged poker games with ties to the mafia. According to FBI Director Kash Patel, the bureau has arrested 34 people as a result of the multi-year investigations, which covered 11 states and involved tens of millions of dollars. Billups and Rozier have been placed on leaves from their teams, and the NBA announced a review of its gambling rules.

Last year, the podcasts Question Everything and This American Lifedid a feature on the work we do here at Tangle. Central to their story was a couple, Dick and Emily, who said that Tangle helped save their marriage during the 2020 election because they were finally able to find some political common ground. The story went viral and led to hundreds of thousands of new readers of this newsletter.
Well, last weekend, at our event in Southern California, I got to meet Dick and Emily in person for the first time. We sat down for a short interview, and they gave me an update on their story. It was a genuinely moving experience, and you can watch it here.

On Sunday, Argentinian President Javier Milei’s La Libertad Avanza (Freedom Advances) party won approximately 41% of the national vote in the country’s midterms, outperforming polling expectations and more than doubling its representation in the next congress. The result gives Milei additional legislative support to uphold presidential vetoes and block impeachment efforts. It also serves as a vote of confidence in his administration, which has prioritized spending cuts and other large-scale reforms. In the weeks before the election, the Trump administration also provided $40 billion in financial support to stabilize the country’s currency and markets.

Over the past week, construction crews have demolished the White House’s East Wing to make way for a new ballroom to host large events for world leaders and other guests. After initially saying the project would not impact existing infrastructure, President Donald Trump acknowledged on Wednesday that the entire East Wing would be destroyed; by Thursday, it was completely razed. The Trump administration says a new East Wing will be built along with the ballroom.

The fundamental promise of this news publication is viewpoint diversity.
I built Tangle because I wanted a place where conservatives, liberals, and everyone in between could gather under one roof and trust the news they were reading. In an era when media trust is at an all-time low, polarization is increasingly extreme and so few people seem capable of talking to each other across the partisan divide, this North Star has always served us well.
In order to serve this mission, to earn the trust of the biggest Trump supporters and the most progressive leftists and all the people who land somewhere between them, we offer some simple promises: chief among them is viewpoint diversity in our content. Most days, this is “What the left is saying” and “What the right is saying,” though sometimes we’ll offer pieces that counter each other (for instance, a Tangle staff member is working on a piece responding to what I’m writing here today). We also lean into transparency in how we work by featuring corrections prominently and sharing (and explaining) our editorial policies. Finally, we try to show that we’re fallible humans who can make mistakes, learn and change their minds, rather than pretend we comprise a flawless high-minded institution (we regularly feature reader criticisms, and I encourage anyone who disagrees with today’s piece to write in or comment so we can consider your thoughts).
