“NPR's Tom Bowman says spouses of the sailors aboard the USS Lincoln have been airing”
their concerns to panic on officials. They say, you know, there is food aboard. It's not maybe the best food, maybe, you know, energy bars or corn dogs rather than a decent hot meal, but defense secretary Pete Hezbollah is that these concerns are misrepresented, but Navy Secretary Hong Kong had a pretty stormy meeting with families of the Lincoln sailors.

Pharmaceutical company Eli Lilly is studying a new obesity drug. It's not yet approved by the FDA, but that hasn't stopped people from selling unapproved versions. NPR Sydney Lupkin reports now the drug company is suing. Eli Lilly says it is filed six lawsuits against businesses selling what it calls black market-retto-truthide.
They include a medical spa chain in California and a compounding pharmacy in Texas. The drug company is also suing companies that sell so-called research-only peptides online. But a true tide is currently in phase three clinical trials.
As it targets three hormones, GLP-1, GIP, and Glucogon, it's more powerful than GLP-1's
already on the market. However, since retro-truitide isn't FDA-approved, compounding it, repackaging it, or selling its active ingredient to compounders is illegal at the FDA says. Unapproved products may be contaminated, contained too much or too little of the active ingredient, or be counterfeit products that contain none at all.
Sydney Lupkin and Piora News Bedbugs are on the rise, especially at this time of year, the critters which hide, inferniture, and clothing of horrified homeowners and wholesale guests for centuries. Traditionally, they are not known to spread disease, but a recent study suggests they might be capable of transmitting an antibiotic-resistant infection called Mercia.
Bedbugs have become more resistant to pets' decides in recent years, making infestations harder to control than ever before. I'm Linda Kenyan, and Piora News in Washington. The midterms are coming, and if you think the news cycle feels intense now, just wait until the fall.
