PREVIEW - The Friday Edition: Mailbag! Your questions and criticisms, our response.

As part of our work at Tangle, we solicit reader questions about politics and our work every day in our newsletter. And every few months, so many interesting questions we want to answer pile up that we decide to tackle a bunch of them at once in a members-only reader mailbag. Today is one of those days. We think these mailbags are a healthy exercise that not only helps us cycle through our stack of questions, but also allows us to critically examine some of our own writing and provide readers with more perspectives that help us fulfill our core mission. As always, a hearty thank you to the many readers and listeners who write in with thoughtful questions or raise challenging criticisms that help us improve. We hope you enjoy today’s mailbag!
