Good Morning! On this day in 1850, Vice President Millard Fillmore became the second man to inherit the presidency after President Zachary Taylor died from a severe intestinal illness contracted on the Fourth of July.
In today’s edition, we unbox a forgotten piece of Cold War childhood: a 1947 cereal-box prize that let kids literally play with radioactivity. It makes us wonder: What are the things we take for granted today that might horrify future generations?

TAKEOFF.
Nvidia First to Hit $4 Trillion Valuation.
Nvidia briefly became the world’s first public company to top a $4 trillion valuation Wednesday, driven by soaring demand for its AI chips.
Though the stock closed slightly below the mark, the Santa Clara firm is now more valuable than Apple and Microsoft, reflecting Wall Street’s deep confidence in the AI boom.
Analysts expect Nvidia’s stock to keep climbing, with earnings set to hit another record in August, when it’s scheduled to release its next quarterly earnings report.
Biden’s Doctor Pleads the Fifth in House Probe.
Dr. Kevin O’Connor, Joe Biden’s longtime physician, refused to answer House Oversight questions Wednesday about whether he misled the public on the former president’s mental fitness or health, invoking his Fifth Amendment rights.
Republicans called it a smoking gun in their probe of a possible cover-up surrounding Biden’s decline, while Democrats defended the move as standard legal protection.
O’Connor was reportedly asked point-blank if he was ever told to lie about Biden’s health—and declined to answer.
