Politics

• We used five AP stories from June 24 on voting rules, immigration enforcement, NATO, war powers, and supplemental funding. The mix favors rulings and congressional action because those items move policy fastest.

Economy

• We paired the market wrap, housing bill, mortgage rates, Fed hawkishness, and inflation so the section tracks household costs and financing conditions rather than intraday noise.

Technology

• The tech set covers AI abuse, Anthropic limits, military AI, Nvidia’s AI PCs, and Apple’s Siri push. Fresh same-day product news was thin, so we leaned on recent stories that still shape the current debate.

Selection Notes

• We downgraded anniversary coverage and lighter political chatter in favor of rulings, funding fights, and foreign-policy items.
• We kept economics focused on the links between prices, rates, and housing rather than on a single equity headline.
• We used a small amount of slightly older tech material because the current discussion is still driven by those June stories.
