President Donald J. Trump’s recent prescription drug policy changes, implemented in February 2026, have delivered the steepest annual decline in U.S. prescription drug prices in more than six decades. Prices fell 3.1% in the year ending July 2026, the largest drop since March 1963, according to Bureau of Labor Statistics Consumer Price Index data.

A California family's $18 million COVID-relief fraud scheme, complete with ankle-bracelet escapes and a fugitive chase to Montenegro, has inspired new Senate legislation aimed at blocking convicted fraudsters' household members from federal money. Sen. Joni Ernst (R-Iowa) introduced the No Cash for Cohabitating Kins of Crooks Act, a bill that would bar anyone living with a convicted criminal or fraudster from receiving federal grants, loans, subawards, or reimbursements.

The bill and the award share a common thread: fraud that runs…Open
