Hey everyone, before I get to the digest, I have one quick thing. You may have noticed yesterday's Insight was quite different from how it's been for a while. We're trying out this new format in hopes that we can keep things digestible while making some room for a deeper lesson about democratic health and functioning.
We hope you like it, but we want to hear every opinion, positive or negative. Next week, we'll send out a survey to get your thoughts. Until then, here's everything from last week.
