President Trump said Monday that his direct-to-consumer drug website TrumpRx is expanding with the addition of more than 600 generic medicines.

Why it matters: Generic drugs tend to be cheaper — and the expanded offerings help fill a gap in the current version.

The tech and AI infrastructure industries are stepping up efforts to challenge the narrative that consumers are getting stuck with the bill for data center growth.

Why it matters: New analysis arguing the AI boom hasn't hit household budgets arrives amid a backlash to huge data centers.

Government bond yields around the world, including in the U.S., are hitting multi-decade highs as investors price in higher for longer inflation due to the Iran war.

Why it matters: The interest rates, or yields, that governments pay on their debt can drive the global economy — when rates are low, countries can spend more freely and drive economic growth.

Senate health committee chair Bill Cassidy's defeat in Louisiana's GOP primary on Saturday could complicate Trump administration's efforts to fill top positions at the Food and Drug Administration and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the surgeon general post.

• In the long term, it opens the door for a new committee chair if Republicans hold the Senate in November, or a new ranking member if they don't.

Antisemitism is so resurgent in U.S. politics that some of the worst hate speech you've ever heard has become a part of day-to-day life for Jewish politicians.

The big picture: Gone are the days of veiled insinuations and dog whistles. The hate is direct, explicit and shockingly casual, two dozen members of Congress and candidates told Axios.

Editor's note: This story includes graphic and hateful language that was directed at lawmakers and their staff. Readers should be advised.

President Trump talks sympathetically about the country's 500,000 Dreamers — but his administration is putting them in the crosshairs for deportation.

Why it matters: The recipients of the Obama-era Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program are finding it no longer reliably protects them from deportation or disruptions to their ability to work legally.

President Trump told Axios in a phone call that "the clock is ticking" for Iran and warned that if the Iranian regime doesn't come with a better offer for a deal, "they are going to get hit much harder."

Why it matters: U.S. officials say Trump wants a deal to end the war, but Iran's rejection of many of his demands and refusal to make meaningful concessions on its nuclear program has put the military option back on the table.

Former Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel has been blasting out more national policy papers than any other potential 2028 presidential candidate.

• So far, polls show few voters care.

Why it matters: Emanuel has gotten national coverage for his plans, has hit the podcast circuit, appears regularly on CNN and writes a column for the Wall Street Journal. But he's barely a blip in early 2028 polls, as other potential candidates such as California Gov. Gavin Newsom have risen over the past year.

Veterans of Bernie Sanders' two presidential campaigns are splitting their allegiances between a pair of Democrats vying to inherit his progressive movement: New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and California Rep. Ro Khanna.

Why it matters: Ocasio-Cortez and Khanna are deploying contrasting strategies to build momentum toward possible White House runs in 2028 — a split that reflects some of the tensions between Sanders' 2016 and 2020 campaigns.

Cuba has acquired more than 300 military drones and recently began discussing plans to use them to attack the U.S. base at Guantanamo Bay, U.S. military vessels and possibly Key West, Fla., 90 miles north of Havana, according to classified intelligence shared with Axios.

Why it matters: The intelligence — which could become a pretext for U.S. military action — shows the degree to which the Trump administration sees Cuba as a threat because of developments in drone warfare and the presence of Iranian military advisers in Havana, a senior U.S. official said.
