Trump Launches Drug Site, Bitcoin Plummets

The Trump administration launched its new TrumpRx prescription drug listing site late Thursday, a move aimed at offering consumers lower direct-to-consumer drug prices, according to CBS News. The website, unveiled at an event at the White House, lists dozens of prescription drugs at reduced rates, with deals struck with over a dozen drugmakers, including pharmaceutical giants Pfizer and Novo Nordisk.

The TrumpRx website, as reported by ABC News, was announced alongside Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz and National Design Studio Director Joe Gebbia. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt described the site as "a state-of-the-art website for American consumers to purchase low-cost prescription drugs," according to ABC News. The initiative comes as polls indicate that most Americans are concerned about healthcare costs.

One example of the discounts offered is a four-week supply of Wegovy injection pens, which is listed at $199 for the first two months and $349 after that, significantly below the list price of $1,349.02, according to CBS News. Novo Nordisk has also offered Wegovy at similar discounted prices through its NovoCare Pharmacy program in recent weeks.

In other news, Congress approved legislation to fully fund the World Trade Center Health Program, preventing a projected multibillion-dollar shortfall that threatened the program's future, as reported by ABC News. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., highlighted the action as a critical step toward protecting long-term care for those sickened by toxic exposure after the Sept. 11 attacks, stating, "Fully funding the World Trade Center Health Program honors our promise to never forget 911 survivors and the brave first responders who put their lives on the line for our country."

Meanwhile, Senator Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., is urging U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts to launch an investigation into Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson over her attendance at the Grammy Awards on Sunday, according to Fox News. Critics have raised concerns over Jackson's applause for speeches containing anti-ICE rhetoric.

Finally, the price of Bitcoin has dropped to its lowest point since before President Trump's election, as the cryptocurrency market faces a slump, according to the NY Times. Bitcoin is trading at less than $64,000, a nearly 50 percent decline from its peak price last October. The prices of Ether and Solana are also down significantly. At the same time, the stock prices of major crypto firms have plummeted.
