Key Inflation Gauge Rose Last Month While Americans Cut Back on Spending
A key inflation gauge moved higher in May in the latest sign that prices remain stubbornly elevated while Americans cut back on their spending. Prices rose 2.3 percent in May compared with a year ago, up from just 2.1 percent in April, the Commerce Department said Friday. Excluding the volatile food and energy categories, core prices rose 2.7 percent from a year earlier, an increase from 2.5 percent the previous month. Both figures are modestly above the Federal Reserve's 2 percent target. At the same time, Americans cut back on spending for the first time since January, as overall spending fell 0.1 percent. The inflation figures suggest that President Donald Trump's broad-based tariffs are still having only a modest effect on prices. The costs of some goods, such as toys and sporting goods, have risen, but those increases have been partly offset by falling prices for new cars, airline fares, and apartment rentals, among other items. On a monthly basis, in fact, inflation was mostly tame. Prices rose just 0.1 percent in May from April, according to the Commerce Department, the same as the previous month. Core prices climbed 0.2 percent in May, more than economists expected and above last month's 0.1 percent. The weakness in spending, in part, likely reflects reduced purchases of cars and other manufactured goods after Americans stepped up their spending on those items this spring to get ahead of tariffs.

The Latest: Key Medicaid provision in Trump's bill found to violate Senate rules
The Senate parliamentarian has advised that a Medicaid provider tax overhaul central to President Donald Trump's tax cut and spending bill doesn't adhere to the chamber's procedural rules, delivering a crucial blow as Republicans rush to finish the package this week. Republicans were counting on big cuts to Medicaid and other programs to offset trillions of dollars in Trump tax breaks – their top priority. The attention falling on Senate Parliamentarian Elizabeth MacDonough's ruling reflects a broader change in Congress: Lawmakers are increasingly trying to wedge top policy priorities into bills that can't be filibustered. That process comes with special rules designed to deter provisions unrelated to spending or taxes, and that's where the parliamentarian comes in, offering analysis of what does and doesn't qualify. Trump wants the legislation, which includes tax reductions, Medicaid cuts, and border enforcement, passed by July 4. Here's the latest: Trump's schedule, according to the White House: 11 a.m. – Trump receives an intelligence briefing in the Oval Office. 3 p.m. – Trump will meet with foreign ministers from Congo and Rwanda in the Oval Office.
