Trump seeks SCOTUS approval to restrict mail-in ballots; diesel prices hit record high

Trump has petitioned the Supreme Court to overturn a lower court's block on USPS restrictions to mail-in voting ahead of midterms, a move that could alter election procedures. Separately, diesel prices have reached a record high, signaling inflationary pressure on transport and goods. The SCOTUS decision is pending, and the diesel price spike's duration is uncertain.
