NEW🔥: President Donald Trump has directed the Secretary of Health and Human Services and FDA Commissioner to crack down on direct-to-consumer prescription drug advertisements that mislead the public about risks and benefits while pushing expensive brand-name medications over cheaper generics.

The memorandum, issued this week, highlights how Congress granted the FDA authority over prescription drug advertising in 1962, but notes that advertising volume has “skyrocketed in recent decades” while regulatory requirements have actually permitted companies to include less information, particularly in broadcast advertising.

President Trump’s directive addresses several troubling trends: these advertisements can mislead consumers about drug risks and benefits, encourage medication over lifestyle changes, inappropriately intervene in physician-patient relationships, and advantage expensive drugs over affordable generics. The memo notes that while the FDA historically required manufacturers to provide “materially complete information that fairly balances both the benefits and the risks,” requirements have loosened over time.

NEW🤬: Sen. Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) is hoping to block the Defense Department from offering military funeral honors to Ashli Babbitt, a veteran and January 6 protester shot and killed by a police officer during the protests.

Gallego has attacked the Department of Defense (DOD) for agreeing to provide Babbitt with an honorary military funeral and now hopes to pass legislation that would bar the funeral from being carried out.

Gallego said his bill “comes from a sense of patriotism, you know, as someone who served this country, as someone who unfortunately buried a lot of Marines with full military honors.”

“The idea that they’re giving this to a person who actively tried to overthrow the government, who was violent in nature, who knowingly was entering a restrictive zone while we were trying to conduct the safe passage of democracy, and the idea that they’re just going to give this without a fight, it’s just not going to happen,” he added.

“I’m gonna put people on the record to make sure that we know who stood with your traitor, Ashli Babbitt,” Gallego said.
