President Donald Trump’s administration has filed a lawsuit against California for not reviewing a list of about 20,000 registered voters suspected to be noncitizens. The Department of Justice wants the state to stop counting mail-in ballots from these voters, but California officials say the information is unclear and that removing voters just before an election is problematic.

A recent study found that up to 25 percent of active-duty Army members could test positive for low testosterone in a new mandatory screening, even though the true condition is rare. Experts warn this could cause unnecessary and potentially harmful medical tests and treatments.
Key Facts
The Army will start mandatory low testosterone screening for all service members.
A study tested 479 male active-duty Army members and estimated results could mark about 26% as having low testosterone using a cutoff of below 300 ng/dL.
True medical low testosterone (male hypogonadism) affects less than 1% of men.
Testosterone levels can change due to factors like age, illness, stress, sleep, weight, and medication, making single tests unreliable.
The American Urological Association and Endocrine Society recommend testing only men who show symptoms, not everyone.
Overdiagnosis may lead to unnecessary treatment that can cause side effects like infertility.
The Pentagon released clinical guidelines in September to implement this screening despite expert caution.
Study samples were taken in the morning after fasting, between August 2024 and January 2026, from five Army bases.
