TrumpRx Adds Hundreds of Drugs to Discount Site. Are Your Prescriptions on the List?
The White House’s direct-to-consumer prescription drug website TrumpRx.gov, which launched in February, recently announced two significant expansions. President Donald Trump said last week that 160 additional prescription medications would be added to the platform in a post on Truth Social. The news came just a few weeks after a May event at the White House announcing that TrumpRx would add 600 generic medications.

Although the direct-to-consumer model is new for the federal government, the concept of a middleman that delivers prescription drug savings to consumers isn’t groundbreaking: GoodRx.com has been around for 15 years, offering comparison-shopping, coupon codes and a subscription-based model for deeper discounts through partnerships with pharmacy benefit managers.
And in 2022, entrepreneur Mark Cuban of Shark Tank fame launched the Mark Cuban Cost Plus Drug Co. The MCCPDC website, CostPlusDrugs.com, gives people access to low-cost generic drugs and uses a transparent fee structure. TrumpRx’s expansion into generics comes via partnerships with Cost Plus Drugs and GoodRx, as well as Amazon Pharmacy.
TrumpRx was modest in scope initially, with discounts available on just 43 drugs, primarily weight-loss and fertility medications, so these recent announcements mark a significant expansion of the platform. The White House has touted the initiative as a push to lower costs and increase transparency in the notoriously complex pharmaceutical marketplace.
The industry is taking it seriously.
“The site’s “coverage footprint… could place the platform squarely inside the everyday prescription experience of many cash-paying American patients,” an article in trade publication Pharmaceutical Commerce observed.
The implications could be major, the article warned, forcing the industry to be more transparent and straightforward about how drugs are priced.
“Pricing benchmarks also become more visible and more consequential… Patient expectations around what a drug should cost could begin to anchor around those figures, creating internal pressure on manufacturers to rationalize” the myriad — and often wildly different — prices patients have to navigate today.
What common medications are on the TrumpRx platform?
The recently announced expansions, particularly the incorporation of hundreds of generic drugs, makes it likelier that more of the prescriptions Americans take on a daily basis will be covered. The government does note that TrumpRx doesn’t cover controlled substances, medications not typically offered via direct-to-consumer channels or that are currently undergoing certain types of FDA evaluation.
Below were the top 10 most-frequently prescribed drugs in 2025, according to analytics firm Definitive Healthcare. They include common remedies for cardiovascular, thyroid and nerve conditions, among others. All are listed on TrumpRx via one or more of its partners.
Atorvastin (Lipitor)
Amlodipine besylate (Norvasc)
Levothyroxine sodium (Synthroid)
Lisinopril (Zestril, Prinivil)
Gabapentin (Neurontin, Gralise)
Losartan potassium (Cozaar)
Omeprazole (Prilosec)
Amoxicillin (Augmentin)
Metformin (Glucophage)
Sertraline (Zoloft)

Will TrumpRx make your medicine cheaper?
The short answer is “maybe”; the slightly longer answer is “it depends.” The upshot is that getting to the bottom of that question involves factoring in a lot of moving parts, and looking at your health care and prescription spending holistically.
TrumpRx doesn’t actually sell drugs, as the site’s FAQ explains. Instead, it directs customers to manufacturers’ own savings programs or to participating pharmacies where shoppers can use coupon codes that TrumpRx provides.
But TrumpRx isn’t the only place patients can go for deals. In addition to sites like CostPlusDrugs and GoodRx, some pharmaceutical companies, like Eli Lilly, have their own direct-to-consumer online storefronts where customers can access discounts.
For starters, people who have insurance aren’t likely to save money using TrumpRx. Most insurance co-pays for prescriptions are lower than the self-pay prices, even at a discount. The site acknowledges this, prompting users to check their insurance coverage first. What’s more, the out-of-pocket costs you pay don’t count toward your health insurance deductible.
Many of the discounts displayed are hefty, ranging from 33% to 93% off. But these percentages are based on original list prices that few, if any, customers would actually pay after insurance- and pharmacy-negotiated discounts are factored in.
“For… most brand-name medications, people are likely to get a better deal using their insurance rather than purchasing a drug through a direct-to-consumer website,” Juliette Cubanski, the deputy director of research organization KFF’s program on Medicare Policy, told CNBC in February.
Some of the expensive name-brand medications on the TrumpRx site are already available in generic versions that are cheaper than the discounted name-brand drugs on TrumpRx.
In addition, it’s important to read the fine print; some of the discounted prices on TrumpRx are only for an initial course of the drug — say, the first month of treatment — after which the price rises. And the discounted prices advertised are, in some cases, temporary promotions.
For popular drugs such as Ozempic and Wegovy, which insurance doesn’t often cover — or covers for a limited time or only for certain conditions (such as diabetes or sleep apnea) — TrumpRx may save you money. But again, there are other factors to consider.
For instance, in some cases, self-paying customers might be able to get discounts or coupons directly from the drugmaker. (It’s a good idea to check the manufacturer’s website first if you need an expensive prescription not covered by insurance.)
If you choose to self-pay rather than go through your insurance, your purchases might not count toward your deductible or out-of-pocket maximum. This is also a drawback with using GoodRx, MCCPDC and other direct-to-consumer sites, although a recent settlement reached between the Federal Trade Commission and pharmacy benefit manager Express Scripts could pave the way for direct-pay drug purchases to count toward these thresholds in the future.
The bottom line? Don’t assume TrumpRx will give you the best deal on drug prices. “There may be patients who think this is a good deal and then end up financially worse off,” Rachel Sachs, a law professor who studies drug pricing at Washington University in St. Louis, told the Times.
While it’s smart to include TrumpRx on the list of sites you check when comparison-shopping for prescriptions, ultimately, it might not make much of a difference in your medication expenses.
For many Americans, it’s more likely that adding one more platform to the already-complex prescription drug marketplace will make the hunt for cheaper meds more complicated.

Popular tourist, cruise destination to fine for this type of shoe
While almost everyone has seen social media photographs of the candy-colored homes built into the rugged cliffside of Cinque Terre, not everyone knows exactly where it is located: the coastal area and five small fishing villages within the northwestern Italian region of Ligurgia are a 30-minute train ride from the port city of La Spezia.The main water entryway to the Italian Riviera, La Spezia is a port stop on multiple itineraries on cruise lines such as Norwegian, Princess Viking, Royal Caribbean and MSC among others.Given Cinque Terre’s fame for its breathtaking beauty, many tourists descending at La Spezia for the day end up using their time in port to come out to the fishing villages.Trip to Cinque Terre? Remember the flip flop ban that could lead to slips and finesAnd as with any places that see large numbers of cruise ship traffic, Cinque Terre sees all kinds of tourist behavior that damages nature and strains local resources. Amid a spike in tourists falling while walking cliff trails in improper footwear, Cinque Terre National Park first launched a public awareness campaign reminding travelers not to wear flip flops or other open-toed shoes in 2019.Fines followed soon after and, as of June 2026, any tourist caught by local authorities on the cliff trails in flip flops can be hit by a fine ranging from €50 to €2,500 for repeat offenders and those who damage the local trail.Related: A low-cost airline is going all in on this travel destination”Open footwear and/or smooth soles, i.e. not anti-slip are forbidden,” Cinque Terre National Park states on its Frequently Asked Questions page about visiting Cinque Terre. “The transgressors will be punished according to Pagraph 2, Article 30, Law 394/91 and SS.MM.II. On the trails it is compulsory to wear closed, waterproof and ankle covering shoes, with an anti-slip sole.”The local law applies only to those hiking on the trails rather than wandering through the fishing towns of Monterosso, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola and Riomaggiore. The fines were also put in place as a safety precaution given the rising number of travelers who had to be rescued after slipping on the cliffs.

A few other places that launched new clothing rules that apply to touristsSome local travel and expat groups reported that local officials periodically conduct footwear checks on the trails; news of the fines are also meant to serve as a deterrent and reminder of clothing requirements.More Travel News:Airline to launch unusual new flight to Cayman Islands from the U.S.What you can expect at Disneyland’s new ‘World of Frozen’Unexpected country is most luxurious travel destination for 2026U.S. government issues strange warning on Ireland travelAnother popular tourist destination to recently crack down on the type of clothing worn by tourists is the Portuguese resort city of Albufeira. What eventually earned the nickname of the “bikini ban” can fine anyone caught in “a state of partial nudity” outside designated pool and beach areas up to €1,500 for disrupting public order.The crackdown came amid rising tourist numbers and incidents of bad behavior, including a viral video of eight British men dancing naked in a bar on Albufeira’s party strip that caused a local outcry and put pressure on lawmakers.As with Cinque Terre, local officials in Albufeira put out annual reminders of the rules around the time that tourist season ramps up.Related: Low-cost airline turns flight around over common tech item in passenger’s bag
Here’s what could be SpaceX’s biggest upside surprise, according to a leading Silicon Valley investor
Brad Gerstner and Gavin Baker discussed the SpaceX IPO as well as a possible pivot for Nvidia.
Franklin Templeton CEO sends strong message on SpaceX
SpaceX began trading on the Nasdaq on June 12, 2026, under the ticker SPCX, raising $75 billion at a $1.75 trillion valuation in the largest IPO ever. Two days earlier, Franklin Templeton CEO Jenny Johnson sat down with CNBC’s “Squawk Box” and described SpaceX as reflecting “the greatest technological change of my lifetime.”That comment, made just ahead of one of the most anticipated debuts in market history, captures the central tension now facing investors. SpaceX is not simply going public as a rocket company. It is going public as three businesses bundled into one, and the company’s own prospectus is unusually direct about how differently those three businesses are performing.What SpaceX’s own filing says about its three segmentsSpaceX’s S-1 registration statement, filed with the SEC, breaks the company into three segments: Space, Connectivity, and AI. For the first quarter of 2026, SpaceX reported consolidated revenue of $4.69 billion and a loss from operations of $1.94 billion. For the full year 2025, consolidated revenue was $18.67 billion against a loss from operations of $2.59 billion.The segment breakdown explains why those headline numbers move in different directions depending on which part of the business is included. Space generated $619 million in revenue but lost $662 million on an operating basis, largely because the segment funded $930 million in Starship research and development during the quarter.Connectivity, primarily Starlink, generated $3.26 billion in Q1 2026 revenue and $1.19 billion in operating income. The AI segment, which includes xAI following its February 2026 merger into SpaceX, generated $818 million in revenue and lost $2.47 billion from operations in the same quarter.Connectivity segment is carrying SpaceX, while AI burns cashThe pattern is consistent across both the quarter and the full year. In 2025, Connectivity generated $11.39 billion in revenue and $4.42 billion in operating income, up 49.8% and 120.4% year-over-year respectively. The AI segment generated $3.2 billion in revenue but lost $6.36 billion from operations across the same year.For investors, the practical reading of the prospectus is straightforward. Starlink’s growth and margin expansion are funding the company’s ability to absorb enormous losses in the AI segment while that business scales.More Wall Street:JPMorgan resets S&P 500 price target for the rest of 2026Vanguard challenges the S&P 500 as a one-stop strategyGoldman Sachs resets Broadcom stock forecastThe subscriber numbers explain why Connectivity carries that weight. SpaceX reported approximately 10.3 million Starlink subscribers as of March 31, 2026, served by a constellation of roughly 9,600 satellites across 164 countries and territories, according to the S-1 filing. SpaceX’s capital expenditures make the scale of the AI bet explicit by comparison: The AI segment’s 2025 capital expenditures were $12.73 billion, more than the Space and Connectivity segments combined.The AI compute contracts Wall Street is watchingThe AI segment’s losses are the most visible risk in the prospectus, but SpaceX’s filing also discloses the contracts it is using to offset them. In May 2026, SpaceX entered into cloud services agreements with Anthropic for access to compute capacity across its COLOSSUS and COLOSSUS II data centers, with Anthropic agreeing to pay $1.25 billion per month through May 2029, according to the S-1 filing.SpaceX also disclosed a separate arrangement with Cursor, the AI coding company, structured as a compute agreement paired with an option to acquire Cursor at an implied equity value of $60 billion, payable in SpaceX stock. If SpaceX does not exercise that option, Cursor is entitled to a $1.5 billion termination fee plus an $8.5 billion deferred services fee. The structure signals how SpaceX intends to monetize excess AI compute capacity, sometimes through service contracts and sometimes through equity-linked arrangements with the AI companies it serves.

The launch business behind everything elseThe Space segment’s operating loss can be misleading if read in isolation, because it is the segment funding Starship development rather than a sign of an unprofitable launch business. SpaceX has completed approximately 650 orbital launches as of March 31, 2026, with a mission success rate above 99% across its Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy rockets, according to the S-1 filing. The company describes itself as the primary launch provider for the U.S. government, having launched 11 of 12 National Security Space Launch missions in 2025.That launch infrastructure is also the foundation for the other two segments. Starlink satellites reach orbit on Falcon rockets, and the company’s prospectus frames Starship, still in development, as the vehicle that will eventually carry both next-generation Starlink satellites and the AI compute satellites SpaceX says it plans to deploy starting as early as 2028. The Space segment’s losses today are, in the company’s own framing, the cost of building the launch capacity the other two segments will depend on later.Why Franklin Templeton’s framing matters for SpaceX valuationJohnson’s description of SpaceX as reflecting the greatest technological change of her lifetime is notable because Franklin Templeton manages more than $1.5 trillion in assets and has built out significant exposure to tokenized funds and alternative assets in recent years. When an executive at that scale frames a single company in those terms two days before its public debut, it signals how institutional allocators are thinking about where SpaceX fits in a portfolio.The framing also lines up with how SpaceX describes its own opportunity. The company’s prospectus estimates a combined total addressable market of $28.5 trillion across its three segments: $370 billion in Space, $1.6 trillion in Connectivity, and $26.5 trillion in AI.Within the AI figure, SpaceX breaks the opportunity down further into $2.4 trillion in AI infrastructure, $760 billion in consumer subscriptions, $600 billion in digital advertising, and $22.7 trillion in enterprise applications, by far the largest single category in the entire addressable market the company has laid out. The Connectivity TAM splits into $870 billion in Starlink Broadband and $740 billion in Starlink Mobile.The first trading session will not resolve the debate over whether that $1.75 trillion valuation is justified. What the prospectus does confirm is that the bet is not on SpaceX as a single business. It is a bet that Connectivity’s current profitability can fund the AI segment’s losses long enough for compute contracts like the Anthropic deal to scale, while the Space segment’s Starship investment eventually unlocks the next phase of growth that Johnson’s comments were pointing toward.Related: Morningstar drops bombshell message on SpaceX IPO

Amazon’s backyard storage shed is cottagecore chic for just $330
TheStreet aims to feature only the best products and services. If you buy something via one of our links, we may earn a commission.Your patio or backyard can serve a few main purposes. For some, it’s a gathering place. It’s somewhere you go to relax and connect with friends and family through barbecues, backyard parties, and lounging on your patio furniture. For those people, it’s also a way to express your personal style through outdoor furniture decor and accessories. For others, however, their homes’ outdoor spaces have to serve a more utilitarian purpose. With square footage shrinking on single family homes, the backyard has become a place for overflow storage. Whether you keep bikes, tools, or sports equipment in your patio, it’s someplace to stow items that don’t fit within the confines of your home.However, your own personal backyard usage doesn’t necessarily have to be either or. If you’re a smart shopper, your patio can serve at least two purposes, if not more. Some of the best outdoor storage sheds are available at Amazon. The online retail giant has a huge selection of sheds in all shapes, sizes, trim levels, and materials. In fact, we recently found one that we think might just be all things to all people, and the price is incredibly low to boot.Benefits of an outdoor storage shedThere is so much upside to outdoor storage sheds. For starters, if you don’t have a garage, or if your garage is already packed to the brim, a shed is a great way to expand your storage space footprint. You can choose whatever size you want, and even get one that has special features like a convenient side door. There are so many outdoor storage shed variations, that you’re sure to find one that’s perfect for your needs, no matter how you plan to use it. What’s more, you can find quite affordable options as well, even though most are very sturdy and will likely last for years to come if well cared for.In addition to the convenience of on-site storage, a shed can be money saving as well. That’s because in addition to domestic rents going up, commercial rents are on the upswing as well. That includes off-site storage unit rentals, which are a big cost for many people every month. If you get an outdoor storage shed for your backyard or patio, then you don’t need to worry about a monthly fee just to store your extra items. With a storage shed, you pay one time for the purchase and then you’ll never have to concern yourself with payment again. It’s a long-term purchase that offers long-term savings.Aoxun Cottagecore Storage Shed

Check price at AmazonPerhaps one of the most impressive and fun outdoor storage sheds we’ve seen in some time is the Aoxun Cottagecore Storage Shed. As the name suggests, this shed offers not only plenty of storage space, but plenty of style. It’s made of galvanized steel which is rustproof and corrosion resistant. The shed also has dimensions of 10 feet long by 6 feet wide, though there are four size options available. It also comes with optional string lights if you want to add visibility for nighttime use as well. Finally, you can get it with or without a built-in floor, depending on your needs.That said, all of these features are merely window dressing for the…window dressing. This cottagecore style shed also includes a full-length overhang, dual barn doors, and a built-in window. All of these features combine to make the shed look less like a storage unit and more like a small guest cottage in your backyard. In fact, the fully functional opening and closing window as well as the dual doors mean you can actually use this shed as a workspace as long as you have proper ventilation. Additionally, the overhang is great for storing wood and other materials that you want to keep protected from the elements. If you want a storage shed that can add to the look of your backyard decor, then this is the one for you.More storage shedsIf you think you may want something a little more low key, then many retailers offer alternatives without all the bells and whistles. Amazon, Walmart, and Target all have lots of options when it comes to storage sheds. Whether you want something that has all the extras or you’re looking for a stripped-down place to keep your wares, these online shops will have what you seek.Kullavik Outdoor Storage Shed
