TrumpRx: White House Considering Trump-Branded Prescription Drug Website

gizmodo.com Matt Novak 2025-10-16 15:40:05

White House officials are considering launching a website that would allow Americans to purchase cheaper prescription drugs directly from pharmaceutical companies, according to a report from Bloomberg. And incredibly, officials are seriously thinking about slapping President Donald Trump’s name on the project. The potential website would reportedly let consumers search for various drugs and be “connected to platforms that sell them,” though it’s not clear how that would save patients money. One

5 Warning Signs Your Gut Is Unhealthy That You Shouldn't Ignore

The trillions of microbes that live in your gut are likened to "little pets living inside your intestinal tract." Or at least, that's how Gail Cresci, a microbiome expert at the Cleveland Clinic, describes it. But they do far more than help digest food. They also support your immune system, regulate inflammation, and produce essential compounds like vitamins and hormones that keep your body running smoothly.

Diminish Distractions by Setting Your iPhone to Gray Scale When You're Home

wired.com Justin Pot 2025-10-16 12:00:00

Phones are undeniably useful when you're out and about in the world. Directions, photos, music, messaging the people you're meeting up with, or even just scrolling while you're waiting for the bus—it's all great. The problem with phones, in my opinion, is when you're at home. Home is the place where you might rather spend your time reading a book, practicing an instrument, or messing around in the garden.

5 ways I use this forgotten yet powerful Google Maps feature

Andy Walker / Android Authority Did you know that Google Maps has a robust custom map creation tool? I don’t blame you if you don’t; Google doesn’t exactly make it easy to discover or use. Nevertheless, My Maps allows users to create custom maps with defined pins, highlighted routes, annotations, and more. When used correctly, it can transform how you plan trips, navigate, or discover new destinations within Google Maps. It took me many moons to realize how adaptable and useful the feature is,

President Trump just made it a lot more expensive for companies to hire foreign workers through the H-1B program. The White House announced Friday that Trump signed a proclamation requiring employers to pay a hefty $100,000 fee for new H-1B visa applications, an enormous jump from the current $215 lottery registration fee.

Why California’s SB 53 might provide a meaningful check on big AI companies

techcrunch.com Anthony Ha 2025-10-17 04:00:37

California’s state senate recently gave final approval to a new AI safety bill, SB 53, sending it to Governor Gavin Newsom to either sign or veto. If this all sounds familiar, that’s because Newsom vetoed another AI safety bill, also written by state senator Scott Wiener, last year. But SB 53 is narrower than Wiener’s previous SB 1047, with a focus on big AI companies making more than $500 million in annual revenue.
