Politics

• AP coverage of the G7/Iran package, Hill reaction, Ukraine support, the Newsom probe, and the White House UFC story provided the five politics items.
• The India trade follow-up was set aside because it overlapped too much with the summit diplomacy angle.

Economy

• AP’s Fed, stocks, retail sales, Hormuz, and higher-price coverage gave a clean mix of policy and real-economy effects.
• I kept the oil-flow lag item because it explains why the geopolitical shock will not unwind instantly.

Technology

• AP’s recent Nvidia, Apple, and EU policy stories provided the strongest product and policy signals for the tech lane.
• Older AI roundups were excluded once they stopped adding near-term decision value.

Selection Notes

• The May 19 Google I/O recap was downgraded because it was too old for a day-of-trends digest.
• Short market commentaries were skipped when AP gave a fuller explanation and better imagery.
• India trade coverage was not duplicated across politics and economy to keep the final slate balanced.
