How will Biden conceal the inflation rampaging throughout his term? The latest scheme appears to be draining the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to the last drop.

The Supreme Court heard arguments this week about the legality of Idaho's near-total abortion ban, which criminalizes the procedure in all circumstances unless the life of the parent is at risk. It's the first such case to reach the high court since the conservative majority overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022.
