[Sign up here](https://www.readtangle.com/).** Would you rather listen? You can ****find our podcast [here](https://pod.link/1538788132?ref=readtangle.com)**. --- ### Correction. In yesterday's "quick hits" section, #3 read "Turkey lifted its objection to Ukraine joining NATO and the alliance officially invited Sweden and Finland to join as well." This was incorrect. Turkey lifted its objection to *Sweden and Finland* joining NATO, an impasse [we had previously reported on](https://www.readtangle.com/nato-expansion-finland-sweden/). Ukraine's membership bid to NATO first came in 2008 and is [unlikely to move forward](https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-01-12/how-a-country-joins-nato-and-why-putin-cares-quicktake?ref=readtangle.com) anytime soon. For now, Ukraine is considered an "enhanced opportunity" partner, a status given to non-member nations that have “made significant contributions to NATO-led operations and missions.” *This is our 64th Tangle correction in our 153-week history. I track corrections and place them at the top of the newsletter in an effort to maximize transparency with readers.* --- ### Today's read: 3 minutes. We're taking a brief vacation for the 4th of July weekend and will be back with our normal newsletter on **Tuesday, July 5th**. In the meantime, I figured it'd be nice to pass on some worthwhile reads to hold you over until we're back — both from Tangle and a few other publications. As I always say when Tangle takes a little vacation, I encourage you to step away from the news too, if you feel the need. It's good for you. --- ### From Tangle: - Our write up on the history of Roe v. Wade (from back in 2021).
