Matthew Yglesias is a fellow at the Center for American Progress. His first book, with the working title Heads in the Sand: Iraq and the Strange Death of Liberal Internationalism, scheduled to be published next spring by John Wiley and co., deals with the Democratic Party's struggle to find a post-9/11 foreign policy, focusing primarily on the rise and (hopefully) fall of the liberal hawk movement.

Previously, he was a staff writer at The American Prospect and an Associate Editor at TPM Media, where he contributed to the group blogs Tapped and TPMCafe. His main blog, now at The Atlantic, has existed in various forms since the dark ages of the blogosphere in January 2002.

His writing has appeared in The Guardian, Slate, The New Republic, and The Washington Monthly, and he is a regular on BloggingHeads.tv and makes the occasional radio or television appearance.

Desperately out of touch with the American mainstream, Yglesias was born and raised in Manhattan and studied philosophy at Harvard where he was editor in chief of The Harvard Independent, a campus alternative weekly.

His latest writings can be found on the Matthew Yglesias blog.

FISA Nos

By Matthew Yglesias
Jun 20 2008, 5:37 PM ET Comment

Lots of folks are upset at "the Democrats" over the FISA business, but while the party leadership (including Obama) has been bad on this, it's worth noting that more House Democrats voted no (128) than voted yea (105). Full list of "no" voters is below the fold. The two members of the House who I had occasion to vote for (Nadler and Capuano) before decamping to the land of taxation without representation were both on the right side of this.
