Quick facts on the most pressing federal activity, executive orders, major court decisions, advancing bills, significant rules. Ranked by a transparent formula(what kind of action, how recent, which policy areas it touches), never by engagement or your behavior, and balanced so a busy week in one branch can't crowd out the others. Every topic shows why it's here and links to its official record.

How this list is ranked

type + recency + salience: an executive order or Supreme Court decision outweighs a proposed rule; scores decay with a ~6-day half-life; keyword matches against a public category taxonomy add the rest. No single kind of action may take more than ~40% of the list, so an end-of-term opinion dump can't drown out Congress. No engagement signals, no personalization, every reader sees the same list.

Pinned and curated items are labeled

Civibrief editors can pin a computed topic or add one the pipeline can't see yet. Those items are always marked Pinned or Curated, curation is never disguised as computation, and every curation action is recorded in the audit log.
