Today's five.

The U.S. just handed Saudi Arabia a civilian nuclear deal that leaves the door open for domestic uranium enrichment, which is the part of "civilian nuclear" that makes nonproliferation experts need a drink. American companies — including Westinghouse — get to build the reactors. Saudi Arabia gets the infrastructure. The safeguards against weaponization exist, but they'll be monitored by the U.S. and Saudi Arabia themselves, not the IAEA. Bloomberg called it a policy shift. The L.A. Times noted skeptics couldn't figure out what America actually got in return. The deal was announced during an ongoing standoff with Iran over its nuclear program, which is a timing choice.

The Saudis got what they wanted, and gave nothing in return, which is a notable outcome for a negotiation. The Trump administration signed a 30-year civil nuclear cooperation agreement with Saudi Arabia — the same deal the Biden administration tried to close, except Biden demanded Saudi-Israel normalization first. Trump did not. The Hill led with the economic win; Christian Science Monitor led with the regional arms race risk; Semafor noted Democrats are already mobilizing to block it in Congress. The IAEA oversight question is the one everyone's circling. Saudi Arabia has wanted a nuclear program for years. Now they have a partner.

Sophie Cunningham told ESPN she wants to protect girls in locker rooms and sports from competing against biological men, and the response was exactly as calm and measured as you'd expect. Breitbart ran two separate stories — one on the backlash, one on her refusal to apologize. The Free Beacon reframed her as a "scrappy feminist" in a piece that also somehow managed to be about attractive white women being underrepresented in the WNBA. Cunningham's follow-up was three words: "I said what I said." The story is about sports. The coverage is about everything except sports.

A 28-year-old Mexican man ran into traffic and died because federal agents walked up to him at a gas station, which is the kind of sentence that refuses to resolve neatly. Juan Jairo Coronilla Durán was on vacation in Florida with a valid tourist visa when officers approached him and a group of four men. They all ran. He didn't make it. ICE is calling it an "encounter" — that word doing a lot of heavy lifting here. NBC 6 focused on the vigil. The Guardian led with the visa detail. The gas station was in St. Augustine.

Florida's wildlife agency ran a secret surveillance program targeting its own critics, which is an impressive use of resources for a department whose stated job is managing fish. The program monitored people who pushed back on agency policy — not criminals, not poachers, just critics. The Florida Phoenix broke the story and leaned hard into the Orwell framing, which is either overwrought or exactly right depending on how comfortable you are with a state conservation agency building dossiers on civilians. The details of who was surveilled and why remain limited in current reporting. The agency has not explained what, exactly, it thought it was protecting.
