From executive producer Isaac Saul, this is Tangle.

This is Tangle.

Good morning, good afternoon, and good evening.

And welcome to the Tangle podcast, a place where you get views from across the political spectrum, some independent thinking, and a little bit of our take.

This is Associate Editor Audrey Moorhead, and I'll be your host for today as we talk about the refunds on Trump's tariffs.

But before we get into the main topic, I wanted to tell you a little bit about a

fun community that we are building on Reddit. Over the past year, our Reddit community has been

growing, as have discussions about our coverage. In the past month, we've had threads titled

Under-Discust Topics Around the Iran War, the State of the Union was bad, but not for why Tangle

thinks, and of course, justice

for Isaac's lost right socks. These have garnered a lot of participation, a lot of good discussion,

and some good fun among the community. And if you want to start a discussion yourself on a specific

issue, a broad theme, entangles coverage, or anything to do with the Tangle podcast and suspension of the rules, you can join our Reddit community at R slash Tangle News and the link to that will be in the show notes below. You'll also see me there because I'm in there moderating quite a bit of the time and I think we have a lot of fun so I hope to see you there. In the meantime, I'm going to pass it over to John, who's going to take you through today's topic, and then I'll be back for my take.

Thanks, Audrey, and welcome, everybody. Here are your quick hits for today.
