source-notes

Politics

• The main sources were Axios on the ceasefire, The Guardian on the U.S.-Iran talks, voting-rights litigation, the White House ballroom plan, and AP on the ocean observatories reversal.

Economy

• I used the Fed statement, dollar strength, gasoline prices, UK borrowing, and mortgage rates to trace the same rate and geopolitical shock through markets and households.

Technology

• I prioritized Google’s chip push, Nvidia’s bond sale, the OpenAI attorney-general probe, Apple’s Siri rewrite, and the Intel-Apple manufacturing rumor because they all show current decision points.

Selection Notes

• I downgraded older rumor-only AI stories and generic market explainers in favor of pieces with a visible filing, funding move, or policy consequence.
