Additionally, many feeds (especially Google News-proxied sources like CNN, NYT, WSJ, WaPo) can take 10-20+ hours to index new articles.

France holds second round of municipal elections in over 1,500 communes
French voters participated in runoff municipal elections on Sunday in cities where no candidate won a majority in the first round. The elections are being watched as a test before the 2027 presidential race, particularly to see if the far right can gain control of major cities. Key races include Paris, where Socialist Emmanuel Grégoire leads against conservative Rachida Dati, and Marseille, where the far-right candidate is competitive.
