Swiss pharmaceuticals powerhouse Roche announced Monday it plans to invest $50 billion in the United States over the next five years, creating 12,000 jobs. The Basel-based company, whose array of products includes cancer medicines and multiple sclerosis treatment Ocrevus, said the investment would go toward high-tech research and development sites and new manufacturing facilities in places including California, Indiana, Massachusetts and Pennsylvania.

A former Pentagon spokesperson who was ousted last week wrote in Politico that Trump should fire Hegseth for presiding over a “full-blown meltdown.” The interpersonal drama is not — at least yet — a dominant plot line of Trump’s return to the White House.

During remarks on Monday in Yerushalayim, Rav Shmuel Eliyahu, Chief Rabbi of Tzfas, spoke critically about recent decisions issued by the Israeli Supreme Court, asserting that such rulings lack halachic legitimacy when they run counter to Torah law.
