Greetings from scenic Blue Hill, Maine where we are visiting with my dad and my brother and his family. As advertised in Friday’s mailbag we are going to take a day off and not publish today. But to make it up for you, we’re extending the chance to get 10 percent off on a subscription if you want to upgrade to paid membership. Members get access to all posts, to weekly mailbags, to the comments sections, invitations to occasional special events, and more. Think about it!
Meanwhile, if you are starved for Yglesias content, I was the featured interview this week for The New Statesman’s Saturday Read conversation. Had a great chat with Will Lloyd and Harry Lambert about the American political scene and how it differs from what’s playing out in the UK.
Back tomorrow with fresh takes!
