This week around 7000 issues came in…
A handful of events (sinking of the Moskva, Elon trying to buy Twitter, Federal mask mandate overturned) caused little spikes in a few sets of related terms. The week-over-week increase in term usage was fairly low compared to other weeks, indicating that while these topics were definitely discussed, they didn't dominate the content of as many newsletters as usual.

Newly Emerging Terms
- Moskva... as in the large Russian warship that was destroyed and sank, with the Ukrainians taking credit and Russia refuting their claim
- Jerusalem ... tensions are rising with renewed Israel-Palestine violence; increased attacks, air raids, rockets, etc.
- poison pill... a tactic used by a company which is threatened by an unwelcomed takeover bid to prevent/discourage said takeover-- and in this case it relates to Elon Musk and his attempt to buy Twitter

Most Used Terms
Note that these "Most Used" terms tend to be used very broadly, in lots of contexts... vs. the other "Emerging" and "Biggest Usage Increase" terms which are, as you can tell, quite narrow and likely more meaningful/interesting.
