Federal Reserve Raises Rates Half A Percentage Point, Largest Increase Since 2000

On Wednesday, the Federal Reserve raised interest rates by half a percentage point and announced a plan to reduce its bond holdings in an attempt to fight the ongoing inflation crisis that began shortly after Democrat President Joe Biden took office. “Wednesday’s move marked the Fed’s largest interest rate increase since 2000, and by shrinking its nearly $9 trillion balance sheet at the same time, the Fed is rapidly withdrawing support from the economy.

On Monday, the Supreme Court ruled unanimously that the city of Boston violated a group’s First Amendment rights by denying its request to fly a Christian flag outside City Hall. “This case concerns a flagpole outside Boston City Hall. For years, Boston has allowed private groups to request use of the flagpole to raise flags of their choosing,” Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer wrote in the court’s opinion. “As part of this program, Boston approved hundreds of requests to raise dozens of different flags.
