The Trump administration is proposing a new rule to keep hospitals from charging markups on discounted drugs for Medicare patients and says that could save consumers $1.1 billion next year, according to estimates obtained by the AP. The rule expected Thursday comes as the Republican administration tries to show it’s tackling the challenges of affordability for U.S. families. Also, former CIA Director John Brennan sued the Trump administration Wednesday, demanding a court order that would require officials to preserve records from investigations he says are targeting him for “what amounts to phantom criminal conduct.” The lawsuit says the records would shed light on the motivations of government officials who are investigating Brennan.

President Donald Trump has reshaped the U.S. Senate map by sidelining some Republican incumbents and promoting loyalists. With four months until November's elections, it's unclear how much MAGA Inc., with $382 million in the bank, plans to spend on key races. Senate Republican leaders have urged Trump's team to fund these decisions. In Texas, Trump endorsed Ken Paxton over Sen. John Cornyn, turning a safe election into a toss-up. In North Carolina, Trump backed Michael Whatley, hoping to flip the seat. Republicans expect MAGA Inc. to contribute, but its plans remain a mystery.
