A group of youth services organizations, a school district, a counselor and others sued Thursday to block a new Washington state parental rights law that critics describe as a “forced outing” measure.

Jeffrey Gundlach, the chief executive of investment management company DoubleLine Capital, expects a U.S. recession as soon as this year, he said on Thursday, as higher interest rates pressure U.S. consumers and companies. Signals of brewing trouble in the U.S. economy such as rising credit card delinquencies and softer retail sales data suggest the possibility of an economic contraction is more imminent than the risk of an inflationary rebound, he said.

The Times previously reported that an upside down American flag — a sign of distress — had flown outside Alito's Alexandria, Virginia, home less than two weeks after the violent Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol by supporters of former President Donald Trump.
