Jordan Neely's death.

Jordan Neely's death. On Monday afternoon, Neely was aboard a subway train in New York City when he began shouting at other passengers and "acting erratically," according to witnesses. Another passenger on the train, identified as 24-year-old Marine veteran Daniel Penny, came up behind Neely and put him in a chokehold, while two other passengers helped Penny restrain Neely. After several minutes of holding Neely on the ground, he stopped moving, at which point medics arrived and failed to revive him. New York City's medical examiner determined he had died from compression of the neck.You can read today's podcast ⁠here⁠, today’s “Under the Radar” story ⁠here⁠, and today’s “Have a nice day” story ⁠here⁠.Today’s clickables: Quick hits (0:56), Today’s story (2:40), Left’s take (6:22), Right’s take (10:10), Isaac’s take (14:13), Listener Question (19:50), Under the Radar (20:46), Numbers (21:35), Have a nice day (22:15)You can⁠ subscribe to Tangle by clicking here⁠ or drop something⁠ in our tip jar by clicking here.⁠Our podcast is written by Isaac Saul and edited by Jon Lall.

The Supreme Court will re-examine Chevron.

The Chevron deference. On Monday, the Supreme Court said it would reconsider the so-called Chevron deference, a 1984 precedent that conservatives argue gives too much power to federal regulators. The precedent directs courts to defer to a federal agency's legal interpretation when Congress has left statutory language ambiguous.You can read today's podcast ⁠here⁠, our latest YouTube video here, and today’s “Have a nice day” story ⁠here⁠.Quick hits (1:59), Today’s story (3:39), Left’s take (6:38), Right’s take (10:15), Isaac’s take (13:55), Listener question (19:13), How to submit a question and new YouTube video plug (20:48), Numbers (21:25), Have a nice day (22:11)You can⁠ subscribe to Tangle by clicking here⁠ or drop something⁠ in our tip jar by clicking here.⁠Our podcast is written by Isaac Saul and edited by Jon Lall.

Should Dianne Feinstein retire?

Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA). The 89-year-old senator has served in the Senate for more than 30 years, making her the longest-serving woman in U.S. Senate history. Last year, The New York Times reported that Feinstein was struggling "to recall the names of colleagues, frequently has little recollection of meetings or telephone conversations, and at times walks around in a state of befuddlement." San Francisco Chronicle and The New Yorker had previously published stories describing similar issues.You can read today's podcast here, the Blindspot report on the left here and on the right here, today’s “Under the Radar” story here, today’s “Have a nice day” story here.

Republicans pass debt ceiling bill.

The debt ceiling. On Wednesday, House Republicans narrowly passed a bill to raise the debt ceiling to $31.4 trillion while cutting spending and rolling back key parts of President Biden's agenda. The bill, dubbed the “Limit, Save, Grow Act of 2023,” passed by a 217-215 vote and has no chance of becoming law in the Democratically-controlled Senate. Instead, it is designed to force Biden to negotiate over spending reductions or face a potential default on the nation's debt, as he wants to raise the debt ceiling with no conditions attached.Thank you all for the feedback (and the criticism) that allows this work to be possible.
