- The initiative aims to restore and enhance natural physical capabilities rather than provide artificial enhancements.
- Medical experts caution that testosterone therapy carries health risks and does not reverse aging or guarantee improved fitness.
And to meet that commitment today, I’m authorizing a new screening program for testosterone deficiency for our service members, ensuring you have the right testosterone levels to operate at your absolute best.— Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, in a video shared on social media accompanying the HuffPost article

- Over 800 UK healthcare professionals have signed an open letter urging urgent government action to free Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya.
- The Palestinian pediatrician has been detained since December 2024 and shows signs of torture and critical health conditions.
- Abu Safiya gained international recognition for aiding victims during Israeli attacks and refused to abandon his hospital despite dangers.
- Signatories highlight a broader pattern of abuse against Palestinian medical workers and call for political and legal accountability.
Dr Hussam Abu Safiya is being tortured to the brink of death by Israeli forces – for the crime of refusing to abandon his patients. The UK government must act now, publicly and forcefully, to secure his immediate release – before it's too late.— Kerry Moscogiuri, Amnesty International UK's chief executive, said this in response to the open letter urging the government to act on Dr Abu Safiya's case.
