President Trump has unveiled a deal to lower costs on two popular obesity drugs. Under the arrangement, drug makers Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk will expand coverage and reduce prices for their popular weight loss treatments Zepbound and Wegovy. And once new pill versions of the GLP-1 drugs are approved, starting doses will cost 149 dollars a month.
Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says she will not seek reelection — formally ending a historic career that spanned nearly 40 years in Congress.
Pelosi, who represented San Francisco since 1987, made history as the first woman to serve as speaker and became one of the most influential figures in American politics.
She helped shepherd landmark legislation such as the Affordable Care Act and more recently took part in California’s Prop 50 redistricting effort as Democrats countered President Trump in this week’s election.
Pelosi stepped down from leadership three years ago, taking the title of Speaker Emerita as a new generation of Democratic leaders takes shape.
The Washington D.C. National Guard will remain stationed in the nation’s capital at least through February 28, according to formal orders reviewed by The Associated Press.
The extension comes under President Donald Trump’s August emergency order, which directed the “Secretary of War” to protect federal property and support local law enforcement in the city.
Hundreds of Guard members continue to patrol public spaces across Washington, D.C., while also assisting with cleanup and other community maintenance duties.
The deployment extension underscores ongoing security and operational support in the nation’s capital, keeping Guard members on duty for several additional months.
President Donald Trump is warning the Supreme Court could leave the United States “defenseless” if it strikes down the sweeping tariffs he imposed this year, but legal experts say he still has multiple ways to keep taxing imports aggressively.
Trump claims his emergency powers give him near-limitless authority to set tariffs, but justices appeared skeptical during Wednesday’s hearing. Even if the court rules against him, Trump could use other laws, including Section 301 of the Trade Act to counter unfair trade practices, Section 232 for national security tariffs, and even the nearly century-old Smoot-Hawley law.
Tariffs have become a cornerstone of Trump’s second-term economic policy, with rates on imports rising sharply, and the president has framed the measures as essential to protecting American businesses.
The Federal Aviation Administration announced Wednesday that it will reduce air traffic by 10% across 40 “high-volume” markets beginning Friday morning to maintain safety during the ongoing government shutdown. The agency is confronting staffing shortages caused by air traffic controllers, who are working unpaid, with some calling out of work during the shutdown, resulting in delays across the country. FAA Administrator Bryan Bedford says the agency is not going to wait for a problem to act, saying the shutdown is causing staffing pressures and “we can’t ignore it.” Bedford and Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy say they will meet later Wednesday with airline leaders to figure out how to safely implement the reduction.
