Good morning —

Today's puzzle draws from a particularly eventful news cycle—we're touching on everything from global geopolitics and trade tensions to the usual cast of characters making headlines in their respective worlds. There's a nice mix of the weighty and the wry, the kind of puzzle that lets you check in with what's happening without the usual spiral. Should take you about five minutes to work through, and we think it'll feel like a gentle conversation about the week rather than a news alert screaming at your phone.
