The U.S. Transportation Department has tightened requirements for noncitizens to get commercial driver's licenses after fatal crashes that officials say were caused by immigrant truck drivers. The government announced the change Friday. A nationwide commercial driver’s license audit began after officials say a driver in the country illegally made a U-turn and caused a crash in Florida that killed two people. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy also threatened to revoke $160 million in federal funding for California because the state should never have issued 25% of 145 licenses that investigators reviewed.

President Donald Trump has intensified his efforts to reshape the media landscape, using threats, lawsuits and government pressure. He has extracted multimillion-dollar settlements and forced companies into costly litigation. Now that ABC late-night host Jimmy Kimmel has been suspended over comments about the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, Trump wants to go even further. Speaking aboard Air Force One, the Republican president suggested revoking broadcast licenses for networks that criticize him. Brendan Carr, head of the Federal Communications Commission, had made a similar threat the previous day. Critics fear these actions threaten free speech protections, a cornerstone of the American political system.

The Trump administration has issued its first warnings to online services that offer unofficial versions of popular drugs like the blockbuster obesity treatment Wegovy. The Food and Drug Administration on Tuesday sent letters to Hims & Hers and dozens of other companies, ordering them to halt “false and misleading” statements about their medications. It's the first time regulators have gone after online prescribing services, which don't typically fall under FDA authority. The FDA says that Hims must drop language comparing its compounded drugs to brands like Wegovy, which are approved by the FDA.

President Donald Trump wants to do away with the quarterly earnings report. In a post on Truth Social, Trump said securities regulators should stop requiring companies to issue financial reports every three months and instead switch to a six-month reporting period. The SEC has required publicly traded companies to report on a quarterly basis since 1970. Trump asked the Securities and Exchange Commission to examine the three- versus six-month reporting requirement during his first term. No change was made. Last week, the Long Term Stock Exchange said it planned to petition the SEC to do away with the quarterly requirement.
