Live from NPR News, I'm Dale Willman. Government agencies are tightening the rules on who can enter the country after President Trump said he was halting what he called migration from all Third World countries. The move comes after the suspect in Wednesday's shooting of two National Guard members was identified as an Afghan national who was living in the U.S. under a resettlement program. NPR's Ilana Weiss reports.

Trump vowed on social media to permanently pause migration from all countries he deemed Third World. He specifically accused Somali immigrants in Minnesota of preying on Minnesota natives and described the state's governor, Tim Walls, with a slur against people with mental disabilities. Trump ran for office on a promise to stop crime, including illegal immigration. The two service members who were shot in D.C. one of whom has died, were in the nation's capital at the president's order to help curb crime in the city. Prior to their deployment, violent crime in D.C. had hit a 30 year low. Elana Wise, NPR News, Washington.

Marine veteran and author Elliot Ackerman served as an intelligence officer in Afghanistan. He says the prosecution of the man attempted accused of the shooting in D.C. should not affect other Afghan refugees living here who served the country well.

This individual should meet the full consequences of the law. But to use this for political leverage to score points, you know, one party on the other and doesn't matter who does it, Republicans or Democrats, is a disservice to the Afghans who are living here and trying to create lives. And it's ultimately a disservice to all of us as Americans because it brings us absolutely no closer to understanding what went on.

The holiday shopping season is underway on what's considered to be one of the busiest days for stores, but many people instead went browsing from their phones yesterday. Online spending data, meanwhile, shows a record amount of items were purchased on Thanksgiving, as NPR's Alina Selyuk tells us.

Adobe analytics tracks online transactions and says people on Thanksgiving spent $6.4 billion, which is an increase of more than 5% from last year. And compared to last year, more shopping happened before the dinner table rather than afterward. Part of it is thanks to retailers rolling out some of the deepest discounts earlier than expected. Adobe notes a big uptick in purchases for the home on Thanksgiving, including refrigerators and freezers, exercise equipment, speaker systems, TVs and home security products. Among top selling toys, Adobe names, Squishmallows, Miss Rachel Learning toys, Pokemon trading cards, and a lot of the classics like Fisher Price, little People, Legos and Hot Wheels.

It's getting a lot of attention in large part because of the popularity of blockbuster injectable drugs like wegovy and Zepbound. NPR's Sidney Lupkin has more.

Novo Nordisk has been working on a pill containing the same active ingredient as Ozempic and Wegovy. It's a higher dose than what's in type 2 diabetes pill Rubelsis, and is instead aimed at patients with obesity. Studies show the new pill's efficacy is similar to WeGov. If approved, the company says it will offer a discounted price of $149 a month for people not using their health insurance. That's part of a deal announced with the Trump administration earlier this year. Novo Nordisk has not yet announced a sticker price for insurers yet, however, and that is the price that will determine insurance coverage. The company says it is working with other parts of the drug supply chain to improve access. Sidney Lupkin, NPR News.
