Consumer prices rose 4.2% annually in May, highest in three years
(CNBC) Inflation accelerated in May as rising energy costs contributed to pain for consumers, though underlying pressures were less intense. The consumer price index, a broad gauge of goods and services costs across the U.S. economy, rose at a seasonally adjusted 0.5% for the month, putting the annual inflation rate at 4.2%, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported Wednesday. Both numbers were in line with the Dow Jones consensus.

"I believe the response should be very strong, very powerful, and that's what this one is," Trump told ABC News on Tuesday.

Trump family 'made $500 million from crypto coin deal' -- before the bottom fell out on individual investors
(The Independent) President Donald Trump and members of his family reaped about $500 million from the sale of $1.5 billion in cryptocurrency to a company that's since seen its stock price plummet and left investors holding the bag, according to a report Monday. Less than a year after Trump sons Don Jr. and Eric rang the Nasdaq opening bell to celebrate the crypto deal with Alt5 Sigma, the company since renamed AI Financial Corp. faces removal from the exchange if its shares don't rise above penny-stock levels in the next 15 trading days, and it's warned investors it may go out of business, CNBC said.

Planned Parenthood fights back
(The Hill) Planned Parenthood took to Capitol Hill Tuesday, as staff and supporters tried to stave off attempts by Republicans to continue cutting the organization off from federal funds. A provision in last years One Big Beautiful Bill Act blocked Planned Parenthoods health centers from billing Medicaid for the other services they provide, like contraception and cancer screenings. Medicaid is their primary source of funding, and the legislation meant they lost out on more than $700 million annually. That provision expires July 4, setting Planned Parenthood up to receive hundreds of millions of dollars in Medicaid funding. Anti-abortion groups are pressing Republicans hard to extend it.
