Here’s the Substack show notes for today’s News Jams, formatted exactly as you asked:
Intro
Gather ‘round, it’s time to hear
The stories shaping what we fear
From ballots cast to battle lines
We bring the truth in steady rhymes
⸻
Trump’s calling meetings, bold and high-stakes
A summit with Putin and Zelenskyy he makes
Peace talks without a ceasefire in sight
Europe pushes back, says it’s not right
Macron and Starmer flew across seas
To keep Ukraine’s sovereignty on its knees
But Trump claims he’ll broker the “deal of the age”
While critics warn of a dangerous stage
⸻
Chorus
News Jams tonight, we sing it clear
The facts of the day are what you hear
From Washington halls to the world’s front lines
Truth in the rhythm, truth in the rhymes
⸻
The White House declares a new election fight
To end mail-in voting, a move from the right
An executive order is now being planned
Though states hold power, Trump makes his stand
Advocates warn it could silence the vote
But the message from allies is what they promote
“Election integrity” is the claim on display
While democracy’s rules hang in the fray
⸻
Chorus
News Jams tonight, we sing it clear
The facts of the day are what you hear
From Washington halls to the world’s front lines
Truth in the rhythm, truth in the rhymes
⸻
S&P stood firm, no downgrade made
AA+ remains, despite debts unpaid
Tariff revenues gave markets relief
Though long-term concerns still circle beneath
Economists warn the stability’s thin
If politics tumble, the cracks will begin
For now, investors breathe steady and calm
But the fiscal storm still waits in the palm
⸻
In California, the maps are redrawn
Democrats push while Republicans yawn
But lawsuits emerge, the courts will decide
Whose lines are fair, whose power’s denied
Meanwhile in D.C., arrests on the rise
Four hundred and fifty under watchful eyes
The National Guard stands, the critics protest
Trump calls it “order,” opponents call it “stress”
⸻
Chorus
News Jams tonight, we sing it clear
The facts of the day are what you hear
From Washington halls to the world’s front lines
Truth in the rhythm, truth in the rhymes
⸻
Outro
So that’s today’s story, in verses and song
A world in the making, both fragile and strong
Tomorrow will come with new tales to say
But tonight we’ve sung the news of the day
