  • Friday Edition—Audrey Moorhead, October 31. 2025

    Audrey Moorhead’s article on how the left is significantly responsible for the rise of Trump is brilliant. She used detailed examples, and while she didn’t

    excuse, for instance, President Trump’s shocking tactics on illegal immigrants, she explained why so many voters tolerate his excesses.

    Tangle is earning its objective of being a source of commentary thst readers trust to be fair. Ms. Moorhead’s article furthers that reputation.

    A friend recommend the podcast this week after we were “debating” where we land on issues. The Sept 12 show, “Suspension of the Rules,” was especially poignant. I just shared the episode via my socials encouraging my friends to take the time to listen. I’ve only listened to three episodes so far and not sure you’re my “type,” but I think you are.
