Slow Boring
Slow Boring is a daily newsletter from Matthew Yglesias, and occasionally others, covering politics and public policy, mainly in the United States but sometimes globally. We publish four columns per week and a mailbag column on Fridays, along with occasional interview podcasts.
We believe that creating a better world requires rigorous conversations and a spirit of pragmatism—the slow, boring work of tackling tough issues, as Weber described.
