‘ENOUGH IS ENOUGH’: Rep. Jayapal BLASTS Hegseth’s Mandatory Testosterone Test For U.S Troops

Rep. Pramila Jayapal sharply criticized Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth over a proposed mandatory testosterone testing policy for U.S. troops, calling it a manufactured culture-war distraction. During her remarks, Jayapal argued lawmakers should focus on Americans' everyday conce s, including housing, health care, and rising grocery costs, rather than policies affecting a small share of the population. She also accused Republicans of diverting attention from immigration enforcement controversies and broader economic issues, while criticizing former President Donald Trump's handling of bipartisan housing legislation. The exchange underscored continuing partisan clashes over military policy, gove ment priorities, and domestic affordability during heated congressional debate proceedings.
