🌅 Good morning, RootBadger. Saturday starts with a new U.S. sanctions law and one practical household-safety job for the weekend.
🗞️ Reuters morning read: President Donald Trump signed legislation giving his administration new authority to pressure Russia over its war in Ukraine. Reuters reports that the law targets Russian energy and defense interests and allows tariffs of up to 100% on goods from major buyers of Russian oil and gas. The administration can waive measures on national-security grounds, making its implementation—and possible effects on trade and energy prices—the next thing to watch.

💊 Useful this morning: Take five minutes to check for expired or unneeded medicine, but do not automatically flush it or toss loose pills in the trash. The FDA says a drug take-back location or prepaid mail-back envelope is the best option for most prescription and over-the-counter medicines. Follow the label's disposal instructions and use the FDA flush list only when a take-back option is not readily available. Scratch personal information off packaging before disposal.
