In U.S. news
U.S. wholesale prices rose 6% last month, a sharp jump that adds pressure on companies already dealing with weak demand and squeezed customers. If that cost starts moving through the system, shoppers will feel it next. The Senate also confirmed Kevin Warsh as the new Federal Reserve chair, replacing Jerome Powell after months of Trump criticism.
In politics
Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp has called a special legislative session for June 17 to redraw the state’s legislative and congressional maps, with the state moving ahead after the Supreme Court’s Louisiana v. Callais decision weakened parts of the Voting Rights Act framework. In North Carolina, Rep. Chuck Edwards faces accusations that a female staffer feared retaliation after she declined a dinner invitation from him. The details are still unfolding, but the pattern is depressingly familiar.
In crime and public safety
Police in Columbus, Ohio, say 28-year-old Markus Say Yeanay killed his neighbor, wrapped the body in a rug, and buried it under mulch in his yard. He has been charged with murder and tampering with evidence, and investigators say they recovered blood and possible weapons from the home.
In Arkansas, health officials say a death has been linked to a new opioid that is even stronger than fentanyl, and the drug has already shown up in several other states, including Tennessee, where it has been tied to more than 40 overdose deaths. That is not the kind of product line anyone should be scaling.
In courts and international affairs
An alleged administrator of the Dream Market criminal marketplace has been arrested in Germany after a U.S. indictment. Dream Market, launched in 2013, grew into one of the largest online criminal bazaars before law enforcement caught up with the alleged operator.
In Britain, Elias Calocane’s brother told an inquiry he felt powerless over his brother’s mental health crisis and believed violent messages were about suicide, not harm to others. Valdo Calocane, who had been diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia, killed Barnaby Webber, Grace O’Malley-Kumar and Ian Coates in Nottingham in 2023 and seriously injured three others.
Separately, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu made a secret visit to the UAE during the war with Iran and met with UAE President Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed, according to his office.
