Today's top stories, with context, in just 15 minutes.
On today's podcast:
1) Hours after President Trump excoriated Republicans at a private lunch for backing a war powers resolution to end the Iran conflict, the Senate voted down a separate resolution as two Republicans flipped their votes. Senator Bill Cassidy of Louisiana told reporters he changed his vote after he was reassured by a private briefing he received after engaging in a shouting match with the president at the lunch. And Senator Rand Paul flipped his vote to present, posting on X that he wanted to give the peace talks a chance. The moves are mostly symbolic, but Trump had complained to senators that the passage of the resolution on Tuesday had undermined his negotiating position with the Iranians at a sensitive time, senators said.
2) Micron Technology surged in premarket trading after its quarterly sales forecast exceeded Wall Street estimates, signaling that an AI-fueled growth run remains strong. The company has secured strategic customer agreements that average three years in length, which suggests it can mitigate boom-and-bust cycles in the memory chip industry. Micron's revenue will be approximately $50 billion in the fiscal fourth quarter, with profit of about $31 a share, compared with analyst projections of $43.2 billion and $25.31, respectively.
3) The European Union's US trade deal is set to go into effect after the bloc gave its final sign-off. The EU will erase levies on US industrial goods and some agriculture products in exchange for a 15% tariff ceiling on its US exports. The transatlantic trade relationship remains strained due to unresolved disagreements over issues like metals tariffs and tech regulations.

Senate Reverses Course on Iran; Micron Soars on Forecast

Today's top stories, with context, in just 15 minutes.   

On today's podcast:   

1) Three candidates endorsed by Zohran Mamdani swept to victory in Democratic congressional primaries on Tuesday, showing that the coalition which powered the New York City mayor to a surprising victory last year is gaining strength. Former New York City Comptroller Brad Lander, New York state lawmaker Claire Valdez, and community organizer Darializa Avila Chevalier won in their respective congressional districts, toppling some of the city's most established political figures. The victories were viewed as a test of Mamdani's political strength and appear to have paid off, with the mayor's allies winning in key races and the Democratic Socialists of America expanding its political power at the local and national level.   

2) President Trump said Iran will be able to use funds released from frozen accounts only to purchase food and medical supplies from the US. Iran disputed Trump's comments, saying the funds would be used "freely, in whatever manner it deems appropriate," rather than being restricted to purchases from the US. The US and Iran are making progress in peace negotiations, but outstanding issues, including Israel's conflict with Iran-backed Hezbollah in Lebanon, stand in the way of a firm deal.   

3) Elon Musk's SpaceX sold $25 billion of investment-grade bonds, replacing costly debt that had helped finance Musk's acquisition of X and expensive loans and bonds issued by xAI. The bond sale will result in SpaceX paying $1.5 billion of interest annually, compared to the $1.8 billion that X and xAI would have spent to service their debt if they hadn't been folded into SpaceX. The bond offering was supported by investors, with $89 billion of orders received at its peak, and will be used to refinance a $20 billion bridge facility and for general corporate purposes.

Mamdani Allies Sweep Primary Elections; Trump Pushes Back On Iran

Today's top stories, with context, in just 15 minutes.
On today's podcast:
1) Iran said $12 billion of its frozen funds were set to be released as part of ongoing talks with the US, with the two sides broadly signaling progress in negotiations to formally end their war. The unfreezing of funds — as well as the US waiving sanctions on Iranian oil exports and pledging to help set up a $300 billion rehabilitation fund for Iran — has provoked criticism of President Trump. The US and Iran have agreed to set up technical working groups to deal with issues such as unwinding sanctions on the Islamic Republic and curbing its enrichment of uranium.
2) Keir Starmer resigned as UK prime minister after two years in office, and the UK could be set for a quick transition to a new premiership as rivals t o frontrunner Andy Burnham stand aside. Burnham was sworn in as an MP, with the former mayor of Manchester positioned to become Labour’s next leader. The coming switch means the UK will soon have its seventh prime minister in the 10 years since the Brexit vote. Burnham could potentially become prime minister by July 17 if he faces no challengers
3) Tributes to former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan poured in after the news of his death early Monday, with many describing him as a driving force for change at the Fed and a guiding light for investors. Greenspan's former colleagues credit him for ensuring the central bank remained focused on inflation, spotting the impact of a productivity boom in the 1990s and shaking up how the Fed communicates. Greenspan's legacy is clouded by the 2008-09 global financial crisis, with critics saying he missed the build-up of a housing bubble that ultimately caused the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression.
