The multiple Pacific storms are being monitored, with no coastal watches in place for Julio and Iselle anticipated to influence conditions rather than landfall.

Diplomats Return to Middle East Embassies
World
— 6d
The United States is gradually restoring staffing at several Middle East embassies that were evacuated or downsized during Iran-related tensions, with diplomats and some family members allowed to return and posts operating at limited levels (typically about 75–85% capacity) in places like Lebanon, Israel, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, and Iraq’s Baghdad, signaling a measured move toward normalcy without full-scale restoration. The changes are largely driven by administrative and HR policies on how long personnel can be away while still receiving benefits, rather than a shift in broader policy toward Iran.

Prescription Drug Prices Drop to 60-Year Low

U.S. prescription drug prices have fallen at the steepest rate in more than six decades, driven by policy moves like the Most Favored Nation framework and the TrumpRx platform, though real-world savings for consumers depend on insurance design, rebates, and pharmacy costs. Experts caution that CPI measurements differ from actual out-of-pocket costs, attribution of the drop remains contested, and long-term effects are uncertain as gaps with international pricing persist and middlemen like PBMs influence final prices.
