Thursday briefing: Drones above Fort McNair; Markwayne Mullin; Trump coin; airfares; DASH diet; and more

Roundup of seven short items: drones detected above Fort McNair (security/defense incident), a story involving Rep./Sen. Markwayne Mullin (political development), a news item about a ‘Trump coin’ (consumer/retail merchandising), higher airfares noted (travel sector/consumer cost pressure), and a piece on the DASH diet (health/nutrition). No material financial magnitudes provided; implications are situational — the Fort McNair drone report could prompt localized defense or security scrutiny, rising airfares are modestly negative for travel margins and consumer discretionary spending, and the other items are largely headline-level with limited direct market impact.
