From the White House briefing room, Jon Decker delivers a comprehensive rundown of the key political, economic, and global developments shaping the day.

President Trump unveils TrumpRx.gov, a new federal website designed to connect Americans with discounted prescription drug prices by cutting out middlemen and increasing price transparency. The administration is calling it a centerpiece of its broader drug-pricing strategy and urging Congress to codify the program.

On Capitol Hill, negotiations intensify as Department of Homeland Security funding nears a critical deadline, raising concerns about potential disruptions to TSA, FEMA, and immigration enforcement if lawmakers fail to reach a deal.

The Trump administration also moves to reshape the federal workforce, rolling out new rules that could make it easier to discipline or fire tens of thousands of senior career officials as part of a broader effort to reduce the size of government.

Economic data adds to uncertainty, with job growth slowing, layoffs rising sharply, and new reports signaling a cautious labor market heading into 2026.

Internationally, U.S., Russian, and Ukrainian officials conclude two days of peace talks in Abu Dhabi with little progress beyond a prisoner exchange, as fighting continues and major diplomatic obstacles remain unresolved.

Finally, Cuba signals it is open to talks with the U.S. as the island faces a looming fuel and economic crisis under renewed American pressure.
