Good morning —

Today's puzzle weaves together international tensions, economic currents, and the daily churn of policy shifts—a reminder that the news rarely stays in one lane for long. You'll find clues grounded in energy markets, recruitment concerns, and fiscal debates, all rendered in that gently tangled way crosswords love. It's a three-to-five-minute pause to notice what's moving beneath the headlines, without the weight of watching it all unfold in real time.
