This is AP News, I'm Rita Falle. Before the Supreme Court this morning, a question about abortion bans in states and emergency care. The AP's Donna Warder.

Tesla said it made $1.13 billion from January through March compared with $2.51 billion in the same period a year ago. It was $21.3 billion down 9 percent from last year as worldwide sales dropped nearly 9 percent due to increased competition and slowing demand for electric vehicles.
