○ Daily Brief Feed

Published daily at 11:00 UTC · midday update at 18:00 UTC · 14-day archive

An AI-curated editorial brief — one headline, a subtitle, and a link through to the full brief on Plainews. Quieter than the headlines feed; good for a daily catch-up rather than a live stream. The last 14 days of briefs are included.

Each headline also carries a political-lean label in the standard <category> field — sourced from AllSides and Ad Fontes Media. Useful for filtering by lean if you want it; ignorable if you don't.
