More Drugs On TrumpRx
President Trump announced that more than 600 generic drugs will be available through the TrumpRx website and billionaire entrepreneur Mark Cuban of Cost Plus Drug was there to celebrate with him.
Some are critical of the initiative, arguing that lower prices may be available through insurance or elsewhere. But there is no denying that Trump’s many drug price reform initiatives are redefining drug price in the nation.

Cassidy Loses Primary
Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) Committee Chair and Sen. Bill Cassidy, R-LA, lost his primary battle by coming in third, which means he is out as a senator next year. President Trump endorsed a conservative congresswoman in the primary given Cassidy’s contentious relationship with the White House. This will mean a new Senate healthcare head is in the cards for 2027 whether or not the GOP keeps control.
