Supreme Court asked to preserve abortion pill access rules

WASHINGTON - A drug manufacturer asked the Supreme Court on Friday to preserve access to its abortion drug free from restrictions imposed by lower court rulings, while a legal fight continues.Danco Laboratories filed its emergency request with the high court less than two days after an appeals court ruling in a case from Texas that had the effect of tightening the rules under which the drug, mifepristone, can be prescribed and dispensed.The new limits would take effect Saturday unless the court acts before then.The fight over mifepristone lands at the Supreme Court less than a year after conservative justices reversed Roe v. Wade and allowed more than a dozen states to effectively ban abortion outright.An appeal from the Biden administration also is expected.The abortion drug Mifepristone, also known as RU486, is pictured in an abortion clinic February 17, 2006 in Auckland, New Zealand.

Senior Fed official sees need for more interest rate increases

WASHINGTON - A senior Federal Reserve official said Friday that there has been little progress on inflation for more than a year and that more interest rate hikes are needed to get prices under control.Christopher Waller, a member of the Fed's governing board, did not specify how many more increases he supports, but said in written remarks that inflation "is still much too high and so my job is not done."Last month, inflation slowed as food and gas prices fell, but excluding those volatile categories, "core" prices kept rising and are 5.6% higher than a year ago. Waller pointed out that core prices have risen at about that same pace, or higher, since December 2021.Waller's comments expressing support for more rate hikes follow a forecast by the Fed's staff economists, revealed in Fed minutes Wednesday, for a "mild recession" later this year.The Federal Reserve building is seen January 22, 2008 in Washington, DC.

He will be vindicated."Former President Donald Trump has been indicted, possibly as part of the Manhattan District Attorney's Office's years-long investigation into hush-money payments.
