The move is the Fed’s first cut since December and lowered its short-term rate to about 4.1%, down from 4.3%. Fed officials, led by Chair Jerome Powell, had kept their rate unchanged this year as they evaluated the impact of tariffs, tighter immigration enforcement, and other Trump administration policies on inflation and the economy.

Officials say a man who rammed a car into an FBI security gate in Pittsburgh and covered it in an American flag Wednesday said he was making a statement.

A message left at a phone number linked to him was not immediately returned and court records did not list a defense lawyer.
