    In the debut episode of The Briefing Room, DRC breaks down what’s driving market volatility—from trade deal suspense to Palantir’s nosedive—and why the Fed might just sit tight. Then we take off (literally) into a major failure at Newark airport and the broader air traffic control crisis. Around the globe, Canada tells Trump it’s not for sale, Google faces a forced breakup, and Germany scrambles to appoint a chancellor. Plus: DoorDash goes global, screwworms are back, and Hollywood preps for a $4 billion summer.
    It’s everything you need to know—fast, clear, brief.
