Trump Rx, WTC Aid OK'd; TMZ Founder Ransom Deadline Looms

Missing 'Today' Anchor's Mother: Ransom Deadline Looms, Investigation Continues

The search for Nancy Guthrie, 84, mother of NBC's "Today" show co-host Savannah Guthrie, entered its sixth day Friday, with authorities investigating a purported ransom note received by TMZ. According to TMZ founder Harvey Levin, a second, "far more consequential" deadline outlined in the alleged ransom note was set to expire Monday.

Levin, who appeared on "Hannity" Thursday night, shared details about the alleged ransom note, describing it as "structured." He explained that while an initial Thursday deadline for the alleged ransom note had passed, another deadline that changes the demand was approaching. The details of the demands were not disclosed.

Authorities are "racing to find clues" as to Guthrie's whereabouts, according to Fox News. Guthrie has been missing since early Sunday morning.

In other news, President Donald Trump on Thursday unveiled the TrumpRx website, which he said would help Americans buy lower-priced prescription drugs. At an event at the White House, Trump listed 40 drugs at lower costs than previous list prices for patients paying out of pocket. He called the launch part of the "most transformative health care initiatives." Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz and National Design Studio Director Joe Gebbia were present at the announcement. "Starting tonight, dozens of the most commonly used prescription drugs will be available at dramatic discounts for all consumers," Trump said. Polls show most Americans are concerned about health care costs.

Also on Thursday, Congress approved legislation for a funding fix that fully supports the World Trade Center Health Program and prevents a projected multibillion-dollar shortfall that threatened the program's future, according to ABC News. At a press conference Thursday morning, Sen. 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. "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," Gillibrand said.

In a separate incident, U.S. forces carried out a lethal kinetic strike Thursday on a vessel allegedly operated by a designated terrorist organization in the Eastern Pacific, killing two suspected narco-terrorists, Fox News reported. U.S. Southern Command (USSOUTHCOM) said intelligence confirmed the vessel was transiting along known narco-trafficking routes and was engaged in narco-trafficking operations. This was the second U.S. strike this year. A previous strike also killed two suspected narco-terrorists and left one survivor, according to officials.

Tech Spending Soars, UK Research Stalls, US Healthcare Stalls

Multiple sources highlight the crisis in US healthcare, where exorbitant costs, exemplified by a Kansas man's $160,000 medical bill, contribute to widespread medical debt affecting an estimated 40% of Americans, despite the US spending significantly more on healthcare than comparable nations with lower life expectancies. This frustration with the expensive and seemingly ineffective system has even manifested in extreme reactions, such as the murder of a UnitedHealthCare CEO, underscoring the urgent need for reform.
