Iran war's full impact on US grocery prices may take months to appear
Americans paid more for their groceries in April, but high gas prices were only one of the reasons why. Government figures released on Tuesday showed prices for food eaten at home rose 2.9% last month compared to a year earlier. That was the highest year-over-year inflation for the category since August 2023. Rising fuel prices were a factor. But tariffs and extreme weather also have weighed on U.S. food prices. Two Purdue University economists say the costs to produce, process, store and transport food can take up to six months to show up on supermarket shelves. That means the full impact of rising energy costs on food likely hasn't hit retail grocery prices yet.

Alabama attorney general announces civil probe of Southern Poverty Law Center
The Alabama attorney general has announced a civil investigation into the Southern Poverty Law Center’s fundraising practices. The probe announced Monday follows the recent federal indictment of the organization. Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall said he is seeking to determine if the SPLC violated state laws related to charitable organizations or trade practices. The U.S. Department of Justice earlier announced a criminal indictment against the organization, accusing it of fraud. SPLC officials have vehemently denied the accusation. A spokesperson for the organization said it is reviewing the subpoena notice from the state attorney general's office.
States explore how to limit corporate political money
Two states could try to squeeze companies' money out of politics by redefining the powers of corporations. Advocates see the effort as a way to get around the Supreme Court's Citizens United decision that opened the door to more outside election spending. Lawmakers in Hawaii have passed a measure that's headed to the governor and a similar measure could go before voters this year in Montana. The idea is to redefine the state-granted powers of corporations to curtail political spending by companies and “dark money” groups that aren't required to disclose their donors. Some legal scholars say courts would likely reject this approach, too.
