As companies seek to close growing gaps in skills and talent,

Deloitte US CEO Jason Garzatus believes it's important for organizations to understand their baseline of skills.

There's so many organizations that can't ask and answer the fundamental questions about how much computer science or data management skills do I have or AI development skills in a given domain. By performing a skills inventory, leaders can truly understand where their efforts should be focused.

Being blind to those gaps is the real miss.

Here's your midday brief for Tuesday, September 30th.

I'm Zoe Colkin for the Wall Street Journal.

The White House is preparing to launch a direct-to-consumer website called Trump RX,

where Americans can pay cash for certain drugs at a government-negotiated discounted price.

Additionally, Trump and Pfizer CEO Albert Borla are forming a plan to lower prices on several of its drugs in the U.S., along with a $70 billion investment in manufacturing medications in the U.S.

Pfizer would be the first to announce a plan to lower drug costs after President Trump pushed companies for months to lower prices in the U.S.

More companies are expected to follow suit.

A second victim has died following the shooting last week at a Dallas Immigration and Customs Enforcement Field Office.

The League of United Latin American Citizens, or Lulac, said Miguel Anjal Garcia Hernandez was a Mexican citizen who was in ICE custody and died from his wounds after being taken off life support.

He had four children and his wife is expecting their fifth child.

And Corweeb has secured a long-term artificial intelligence cloud infrastructure agreement with meta platforms worth up to $14.2 billion.

The contract runs through 2031 with an option for meta to extend for an additional year.

CoreWeave's shares were up more than $12 to $13 and $67 in midday trading.
