US based RedDrop debuts period swimwear for teens & tweens
RedDrop's period swimwear can be worn any day during a girl's period as an alternative to pads or tampons. It's designed for versatility as a bikini bottom in classic black that can mix and match with any bikini top. As with RedDrop's other menstrual products, the bikini bottoms are specifically made for girls' smaller, changing bodies. The age-appropriate swimwear comes in a range of sizes from Youth XS (Kids size 8-10) to Women's XL (Juniors size 14-16).
RedDrop has launched period swimwear for tweens, designed as a versatile, non-toxic bikini bottom that supports summer activities without interruptions. Available in sizes from Youth XS to Women's XL, it holds up to 18g of flow and includes educational resources. The launch follows major investments, including a $1million Black Ambition prize and a $200K Fifteen Percent Pledge Award.
"We designed our period swimwear to be a perfect fit for tweens to participate in summer activities uninterrupted, from a day at the pool or beach to a weekend at the lake to sleepaway camp," said Dana Roberts, Co-Founder of RedDrop. "The swimwear also comes with empowering, straightforward educational resources to build confidence and body literacy. All girls should have access to affordable period care products made to meet their needs, no matter when their period starts."
RedDrop's period swimwear is made from fragrance-free, PFAS-free and non-toxic materials that form moisture-wicking layers and flexible fits that move with growing – and swimming – bodies. The bottoms hold up to two light pads or three light tampons of flow (up to 12-18 grams) and won't get waterlogged after a dip in the pool.
The new product launch comes on the heels of significant investments in RedDrop and its mission to address menstrual inequity with tween period products and educational resources. In November 2024, the minority- and women-owned company won the $1 million grand prize from Black Ambition, Pharrell Williams' non-profit organization to support Black and Hispanic Entrepreneurs. In February 2025, RedDrop won the Fifteen Percent Pledge Achievement Award totaling $200K. The Fifteen Percent Pledge is a racial equity and economic justice non-profit that addresses inequities in the American consumer economy and works towards closing the racial wealth gap.

Fed Governor Adriana Kugler steps down, giving Trump slot to fill
The Federal Reserve announced Friday that governor Adriana Kugler will step down next week, opening up a spot on the central bank's powerful board that President Donald Trump will be able to fill. Kugler, who did not participate in the Fed's policy meeting earlier this week, would have completed her term in January. Instead, she will retire Aug. 8. She did not provide a reason for stepping down in her resignation letter.

Powell, who has been repeatedly attacked by Trump for not reducing the Fed's key short-term interest rate, completes his term as chair in May 2026. Trump said Friday afternoon he was "very happy" to have an opportunity to name someone to the Fed's board. Several names have been floated as potential replacements for Powell, including Kevin Hassett, currently a top economic adviser to Trump, and Kevin Warsh, a former Fed governor from 2006 to 2011. Live Events Asked about potential candidates, Trump said he has "about three very good - I've got a lot of good candidates." Trump has continued his attacks on the Fed since Powell said Wednesday that the central bank would keep its short-term interest rate unchanged. Powell also said the Fed could take months to evaluate the impact of tariffs on the economy before deciding to cut rates, as Trump has demanded. Powell is "a stubborn MORON, must substantially lower interest rates , NOW," Trump posted early Friday morning, before the monthly jobs report was released. That report showed hiring slowed in July and was much lower in May and June than had been initially reported. Kugler was appointed to the Fed's seven-member board of governors by former President Joe Biden in September 2023. She was the first Hispanic Fed governor, and prior to joining the Fed, was a professor at Georgetown University and was the U.S. representative to the World Bank. She will return to the Georgetown faculty in the fall. "I am proud to have tackled this role with integrity, a strong commitment to serving the public, and with a data-driven approach strongly based on my expertise in labor markets and inflation," she said in her resignation letter. In her last speech as a Fed governor two weeks ago, Kugler expressed support for Powell's view that the central bank should keep rates unchanged while officials monitor the economy to see how Trump's tariffs affect inflation and the economy. Trump, meanwhile, has said he will appoint Fed officials who favor cutting rates. One complication is that Powell's term as chair ends in May 2026. But his position on the Fed's governing board lasts through January 2028. As a result, he could stay on the board even after stepping down as chair, and simply remain as one of seven governors. There is some precedent for such a step: Marriner Eccles, who served as Fed chair in the 1930s, remained on the board after completing his term as chair. If Powell took such a step, that would mean whomever the Trump administration chose to replace Kugler could then be elevated to chair after Powell finishes as chair in May 2026. In other words, to get their choice of Fed Chair in 2026, the Trump White House may choose to appoint that person to replace Kugler as governor, and then elevate them to Fed chair in May 2026. Powell has declined to answer at the last two press conferences whether he will leave the board when he is done as chair.

Trump demands Powell resign as Fed Governor Adriana Kugler steps down: '…was doing the wrong thing…'
In a major shake-up at the US Federal Reserve, Governor Adriana Kugler has resigned from her position on the central bank's board, offering former President Donald Trump a crucial opportunity to reshape monetary policy ahead of the 2026 Federal Reserve chair transition. Kugler, the first Hispanic policymaker to sit on the Fed's Board of Governors, submitted her resignation letter on Friday, effective 8 August. Her early departure — her term was set to expire in January 2026 — coincided with renewed attacks by Trump on Fed Chair Jerome Powell, whom he derisively labelled 'Too Late' in a Truth Social post. Donald Trump wasted no time leveraging Adriana Kugler's exit to advance his ongoing campaign against Jerome Powell. 'Too Late Powell should resign, just like Adriana Kugler,' Trump wrote, falsely implying that Adriana Kugler resigned in protest against Powell's stance on interest rates. 'She knew he was doing the wrong thing. He should resign also!' While Adriana Kugler's resignation letter made no mention of Powell or disagreements over monetary policy, Donald Trump and his allies have increasingly accused the central bank of obstructing economic growth by maintaining elevated interest rates. On Friday, the US president told reporters, 'I'm very happy there's now an opening. She clearly disagreed with 'Too Late' on rates.' Contrary to Donald Trump's claims, Adriana Kugler had not publicly opposed Jerome Powell's monetary policy direction. In her most recent speech on 17 July, she advocated for holding interest rates steady 'for some time,' citing a stable labour market and a recent uptick in goods inflation. She was absent from the Fed's policy meeting earlier this week, with officials attributing her nonattendance to a 'personal matter.' In her resignation letter addressed to US President Donald Trump, Kugler said: 'It has been an honour of a lifetime to serve on the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System… I am especially honoured to have served during a critical time in achieving our dual mandate of bringing down prices and keeping a strong and resilient labour market.' Adriana Kugler's departure, paired with soft US jobs data, triggered a rally in US Treasuries. Yields on two-year notes — the most sensitive to monetary policy — plunged by as much as 29 basis points, marking the steepest drop since December 2023, according to Bloomberg report. The Bloomberg Dollar Spot Index also tumbled nearly 0.9%, as traders began fully pricing in two quarter-point rate cuts by the end of 2025. The first cut is now seen as having a 90% probability of occurring at the Fed's next policy meeting. Adriana Kugler's exit adds a layer of complexity to the central bank's future leadership. Jerome Powell's term as Fed Chair ends in May 2026, and Donald Trump could install a successor aligned with his views on monetary easing. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has suggested the administration may first nominate someone to fill Kugler's vacancy, then later elevate that appointee to chair. Among those being considered are National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett, former Fed Governor Kevin Warsh, current Governor Christopher Waller, and Bessent himself. Adriana Kugler was appointed to the Fed in September 2023, fulfilling a long-standing Democratic priority to improve Hispanic representation within the central bank. Before joining the Fed, she served as the US executive director at the World Bank and held roles in the Obama administration, including Chief Economist at the US Department of Labor. Adriana Kugler will return to her academic post as a professor at Georgetown University after 8 August.
