    PREVIEW - The Friday Edition: Toward more perfect unions.

    Back in 2022, we published an original essay from our outgoing editorial intern Audrey Moorehead, who wrote about the experience of transitioning from her hometown in Lynchburg, Tennessee, to Harvard University. Audrey has remained a part of the Tangle family since the end of her internship, and last year, she recommended a Harvard classmate of hers, Sophia Downs, as a candidate for our associate editor position. We brought Sophia on over the summer and since then, she’s been an invaluable member of our team.  As part of our offer of employment, and in keeping with our mission of providing you with a diverse range of perspectives, we offered her a capstone project: a personal essay (like Audrey’s) about any relevant topic that mattered to her. Today, we’re excited to share the final product with you — a thoughtful assessment of the evolving role of family, community and government in modern American life, grounded in Sophia’s experience as a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. In the midst of an unrelenting news cycle, we think it’s a great change of pace that offers a contemplative, measured look at the challenges facing U.S. society.  This is a preview of today's special edition that is available in full and ad-free for our premium podcast subscribers.

    The dropped charges against Eric Adams

    On Monday, Acting Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove directed the Southern District of New York to dismiss without prejudice all charges in its corruption case against New York Mayor Eric Adams. In its dismissal, the Department of Justice reasoned that the case was politically motivated by the Biden administration and interfered with the mayor’s ability to combat the city’s migrant crisis. Adams, 64, is currently serving a four-year term as mayor and is running for reelection, with the Democratic mayoral primary scheduled for June.

    Excluding trans women from women’s sports

    On Wednesday, President Donald Trump signed an executive order called “Keeping Men out of Women’s Sports” prohibiting all participants who do not meet the government’s definition of biological females from competing in girls’ and women’s sports. The order directs the federal government to withhold funding from K-12 schools and colleges that do not comply, drawing authority from Title IX of the Education Amendments Act of 1972. Furthermore, it requires representatives of the governing bodies of major sports to standardize eligibility requirements for sports, including the Olympics, within 60 days.  Ad-free podcasts are here!Many listeners have been asking for an ad-free version of this podcast that they could subscribe to — and we finally launched it.

    Legal challenges to the Department of Government Efficiency.

    On Saturday, a federal judge blocked the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) staff from accessing the Treasury Department’s payment systems. U.S. District Judge Paul Engelmayer ruled that only “civil servants with a need for access to perform their job duties” may use the system, while special government employees are explicitly barred. The ruling will remain in place until at least this Friday, when another judge will hear arguments in a case brought by 19 Democratic state attorneys general challenging DOGE’s access to the Treasury’s system.  Ad-free podcasts are here!Many listeners have been asking for an ad-free version of this podcast that they could subscribe to — and we finally launched it.
