Introducing The Argument's first class of fellows

An abundance of content is headed your way.

Big news from The Argument: We’re growing!

When we launched The Argument, we made a simple bet: that liberal ideas — passionately argued, honestly examined, and free from the reflexive defensiveness that’s crept into so much of the left — still had an audience. You proved us right.

Because of your support, we’re ready to do more!

Every morning, you’ve been receiving a piece from one of our staff writers, columnists, or contributors. That won’t change.

But for those of you who can’t get enough, we’re going to be adding more content for you to lib out to.

The full magazine will include:

• An elections blog, written by the analysts who brought you the WAR model. This blog will be focused on polling and electoral analysis of the biggest 2026 races.

• Deep dives on abundance-related topics like permitting reform, YIMBY politics, and state and local developments

• Shorter pieces on our usual topics including technology, culture, gender, and family

• Occasional news-of-the-day reaction pieces

As a part of our growth, we are excited to announce that we’ve brought on three new writing fellows (more on them below).

As a loyal subscriber, we want you to enjoy our new content however you prefer. If you would like to continue receiving just our daily morning piece (a.k.a. "The Opening Argument") you can leave your email preferences as they are and still see the additional content on our website.

But if you’re a dedicated Argument fan and want all of our content delivered right to your inbox, you can change your email preferences selecting “The Mag” to receive all our content at the following link:
