Good morning —

Today's puzzle touches down in some familiar corners of the news cycle—trade tensions, corporate reckoning, and the usual political jostling—but wrapped up in the kind of wordplay that might make you smile rather than sigh. It's a quick one, settling in around three to five minutes, and a gentle way to check in with what's been happening without the scroll-spiral. Sometimes the smallest grids hold the biggest conversations.
