The source material provided is too thin and low-quality to produce a reliable daily brief. Here’s the problem:

• LEFT (25 articles): All are Pennsylvania Capital-Star search result index pages with zero article content — no headlines, no narratives, no substance.
• MAINSTREAM (1 article): A 1969 Atlantic archive page, not current news.
• THINK_TANK_RIGHT (10 articles): Entirely Cato event listings, no policy arguments or news hooks.
• NEW_RIGHT (6 articles): These have real snippets — Iran diplomacy, social media liability, voter fraud, Israel lobby — but not enough to triangulate left/right framing.
• CALIBRATION (1 article): One useful RealClearPolitics piece on Trump and the Iran war.

Producing the format you requested would require me to fabricate left-side framing, mainstream quotes, and “what’s happening” context that isn’t in the source material. That would make the brief confidently wrong rather than usefully uncertain.

What I can offer instead:

A narrower brief covering only what the sources actually support — primarily the Iran/war-powers question and the social media liability ruling — flagging where framing is one-sided due to missing source categories.

Want me to do that, or would you prefer to rerun with better-populated source categories?
