Cleveland relaxes protest rules for Republican convention
The ACLU called the new rules an important victory for free speech as city officials shrink the event zone by half and extend parade routes and hours for protests during the four day convention starting July 18. Residents including the homeless may carry banned items within the zone. The city will buy roughly 60 million in insurance coverage for convention related liability and terrorism risk.

Puerto Rico Rescue Board Aimed At Fixing Finances
A seven member board appointed by Congress and the president would guide Puerto Rico through a fiscal crisis, with power to override the territorial government in some cases. It would require detailed fiscal plans, budgeting, creditor protection, pension funding, and debt negotiations, while allowing a temporary wage relief for some young workers until the board ends.

Leaders warn of chaos if no bill passes while supporters argue it offers a needed, if imperfect, fix. Analysts say Puerto Rico may struggle to meet roughly 300 million in interest payments and risk broader defaults as liquidity remains strained.
