What today's Google News stories reveal
The board reset around Friday's White House actions. Press access, Greenland, and the Kennedy Center are three Trump-centered stories in the top 3.
Foreign news is Cuba's grid collapse and the Iran war cost and casualty cluster. State-level items (Newsom, Salazar, St. Paul) fill the bottom. That is a one-day swap, not a slow reshuffle.
