Fed Holds Rates, Trump Targets Iran, SCOTUS Redistricting Shift
from 4 Things To Know This Afternoon · host Erick-Woods Erickson
Fed Holds Rates Amid Inflation Concerns The Federal Reserve kept interest rates unchanged, with most members signaling little appetite for cuts this year as inflation remains stubborn and the 2% target looks increasingly difficult to reach. Trump Expands Pressure on Iran's Collapsing Economy President Trump is preparing a broader blockade and new sanctions on Iran as its economy spirals, with unpaid workers, stalled oil exports, and growing internal instability. Supreme Court Limits Race-Based Redistricting The Court ruled that race-driven gerrymandering is generally unconstitutional, while reaffirming that partisan map-drawing remains legal, setting up potential redistricting fights in key states. SCOTUS Signals Procedural Limits on Ending TPS The Court appears focused not on presidential authority, but whether proper legal procedures were followed in attempts to end temporary protected status for certain immigrants.
