The Ukraine counteroffensive (and the dam attack).
The Ukraine war. Yesterday, as Ukraine's counteroffensive appeared to be underway, news broke that a major dam and hydroelectric power plant in southern Ukraine were severely damaged. The attack on the dam caused flooding near the front lines, with communities downstream of the dam — many currently under Russian control — having to evacuate while Russia continued shelling the region overhead. The Kakhovka dam sits near the southern end of the Dnipro River, which currently separates Ukrainian and Russian forces on the front lines.

Pride Month controversy.
Pride month. June in the United States is Pride Month, when members of the LGBTQ community celebrate lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer pride. Pride month is often commemorated in major cities with pride parades. Many companies and workplaces have taken part in pride festivities for several years, offering specialty products or encouraging employees to participate in certain educational events. This year, Pride Month has spurred an unusual level of political animosity and controversy. Major retailers like Target, Kohl's, Walmart, and PetSmart have faced backlash from customers upset by certain promotional items celebrating the LGBTQ community.

Why are insurers fleeing California?
California home insurers. Last week, State Farm said it would stop selling new insurance policies to homeowners in California as of May 27, citing "historic increases in construction costs outpacing inflation, rapidly growing catastrophe exposure, and a challenging reinsurance market." The decision leaves Californians without one of the largest insurers in the country and the leading provider of homeowners insurance in the state, worsening the problem for residents already struggling to keep up with costly home insurance. Liberty Mutual and Allstate, other prominent homeowners insurance companies, have also left California.

Customer Reviews
Great podcast
Although I don’t always agree with Isaac’s standpoint, it gives me the opportunity to challenge my beliefs and views. Appreciate the work he puts into this wonderful podcast and newsletter.
News reporting that you can actually enjoy
Instead of making you feel angry or depressed about the world, Isaac gives you the news of the day so that you can make your own informed decisions.
Big Fan
I love Tangle, both the newsletter and podcast. It presents views from both sides (left and right) of a story and then provides its own take/opinion on the story. It is a breath of fresh air compared to most other news sources.
