The cause of the East Palestine train crash.

We covered the story of East Palestine in a special Friday edition, which included original reporting on what happened there.

The Colorado river water fight.

In late January, the seven states that rely on the Colorado River for water failed to strike a water-sharing deal by the federally mandated deadline. Because the states were unable to come to an agreement, the Biden administration — led by the federal Bureau of Reclamation — may have to intervene and impose regional water cuts at a time when the states involved continue to battle droughts and historically low reservoirs.You can read today's podcast here, today’s “Under the Radar” story here and today’s “Have a nice day” story here.

Republicans & Social Security.

During last week's State of the Union address, President Biden claimed that "some Republicans" want to sunset Social Security and Medicare, drawing boos and jeers from Republican members of Congress in attendance. In the week since, President Biden has escalated those attack lines, repeating the claims during public speeches in Florida. Republicans have continued to object, saying it's a "falsehood" that there are plans to get rid of Social Security or Medicare.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 (2:38), Today’s Story (4:42), Left’s Take (8:52), Right’s Take (14:21), Isaac’s Take (19:33), Your Questions Answered (23:27), Under the Radar (25:08), Numbers (26:02), Have A Nice Day (26:49)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 Zosha Warpeha.
