source-notes

Politics

• Guardian live coverage captured the day’s Trump-related cluster: birth tourism, mail-in voting, crypto conflict concerns, Mamdani’s America250 address, and E. Jean Carroll’s payment push. I split them into separate topics because each carries a different legal or electoral consequence.
• Broader immigration or ceremonial stories were left out so the five politics slots stayed tied to current disputes with clear consequences.

Economy

• Business Insider’s jobs live coverage was the strongest same-day source for payrolls, unemployment, participation, wages, sector detail, revisions, and market reaction.
• Inflation and oil were relevant background, but the labor report clearly drove the day’s economy coverage.

Technology

• I used Guardian, Business Insider, The Times of India, and Windows Central because they offered current, source-backed coverage with usable images.
• The OpenAI stake and release stories are reported developments, not finalized policy or corporate filings, so the copy keeps that distinction explicit.

Selection Notes

• I dropped broader war and sports-adjacent headlines to preserve the required 5/5/5 category balance.
• I excluded older AI rumors and weakly sourced speculation.
• Repeated source URLs were acceptable when a live coverage page contained multiple distinct topical updates.
