The congressional map battle is going into overdrive now that
the Supreme Court has struck down Louisiana's map. The High
Court called it an unconstitutional gerrymander that relied too much

More than half of Americans believe prices will be higher
a year from now than they currently are. A new
survey from the economist Yugov found fifty nine percent said
they believe prices will be higher in twelve months, while
fifteen percent said prices are set to be about the same.
Thirteen percent said they thought they'd be lower, another thirteen
weren't sure. Survey results come after data from the Commerce

(03:04):
Department last week found prices increased at a far more
rapid rate in March, as US conflict against Iran cost
a significant increase in inflation. Some restaurants are offering deals
for educators over the next few days in recognition of

DMV and they'll start creating the designs. The plates will
