Inflation surged in May to the highest level since early 2023, as Iran war-related fuel costs worked their way through the broader economy.

Overall, the yearly inflation rate rose to 4.2% in May from a year ago, up 0.5% from April.

Energy prices -- a broad index that includes gasoline -- soared 23% in May compared to a year earlier, U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics data showed.

‘You’re Either Crooked Or You’re Stupid’: Trump Walks Out After Kristen Welker Fact-Checks Him (www.yahoo.com)
 

An angry Donald Trump walked out of an interview with NBC's Meet the Press host Kristen Welker after an extraordinary exchange in which the president angrily insisted--without offering any proof--that "elections are crooked and you're crooked, and Meet the Press is crooked…and so is ABC and CBS and CNN."

The interview, airing on NBC Sunday, turned confrontational when Welker asked Trump about his idea to use $1.8 billion in taxpayer money for a "weaponization fund" to compensate people who believe they were unfairly targeted by a federal government "weaponizing" the justice system against them.
