I think your idea of trying out a 3-day-a-week approach is a good one. Given the amount of info flooding all of us at this time, we may be more likely to read the entirety of your posts when they arrive less often. Any improved quality will be appreciated, even though the quality is already very high and well worth the reading. Thanks for all you do to keep us enlightened!
"... a constant blur of headlines. That may seem like it’s a call for “more” ..."
Nope, with the weekly almost daily firehose of news this past year, LESS is more, and I'd rather see a deeper analysis as you are proposing on selected news topics rather than being like many other aggregators who seem to "clickbait" every article they publish. It is overwhelming and unnecessary, so thank you for experimenting with fewer articles with more analysis.
Good idea to try a new approach! Other news aggregators are out there, but that's not true of the type of "deep dive" political/historical analysis you provide. Something to look forward to in February!
Definitely try the 3x/week out! I don't often get to read all days and so I fall behind. Quality over quantity wins for me! Your articles are so well thought out and presented. It's so refreshing from the other clickbait and AI written articles that might only add one small new point to the same news regurgitated. I stumbled upon your newsletter I think somewhere between 2014 and 2016 and it has been a great journey seeing everything evolve!
Hi Gabe. I look forward to your changes in the newsletter. Summaries of the news can be read in multiple places, but thoughtful analysis, at which you excel, cannot. It’s amazing that you have been doing this for 15 years (I have been following you for almost that long), and are just getting started. Congratulations !
Good to try new things! You are and always will be one of my favorite writers, presenting an unbiased and refreshing view of politics. I started following you when you were in HS in STL, and became one of your first paid subscribers. Now many years later I am on the coast of SC, and half the year in Costa Rica--to distance myself from the Orange Stain. Keep up the great work, Gabe! El currently in CR.
I agree with Margie! I also had revisit that Full Frontal interview, although I don't believe I saw it when it was first put out there. That gave me many good chuckles--thank you for sharing the link.
Less with depth and experience, which you have, will always out class more that is not much but news headlines, and no discussion in depth. Go for it. I will always be one of your subscribers no matter how it fairs.
As @Margie Hagen called it --- Definitely a worthy experiment.
Plus here's a suggested tweak to it: At the end of the analytical/research piece.... how about just a simple Listing of any of the day's event that particularly catch your interest and maybe will warrant a closer and wider and deeper look from you.
And keep trusting your center.....................
Love the deep dives. But then again I also loved the daily summaries. Too bad you can’t be cloned, Gabe, so one of you could continue on your previous track and the other providing less frequent, deeper analysis. But one thing’s for sure. It would take much more than your proposed change in format for me to ever unsubscribe. I have learned so much over the years from your newsletter. It’s been a must read for me every day. And now it will be a must read three times a week. A big thank you from a big fan.
I, for one, are happy to go along with the experiment. Your research and common-sense perspective (i.e., reality usually isn't the same as the hype) are so needed. Looking forward to the deep dives.

Thank you.
Whatever keeps you writing, Gabe, that's what I want. I budget all year to subscribe to you and Paul Krugman. It is so worth it. Thanks!
What you've proposed for February is a worthy experiment, Gabe. Thanks for the thoughtful explanation.
I will always go with quality over quantity. Keep up the good work, Gabe!

I agree with the above sentiments. I enjoy the five day a week format but also your in-depth articles. I look forward to the change
Been following you for over a long time. Good work. Your news letters keep me from being swallowed up completely in the bubble im in.
