"Millions of Americans with obesity are eagerly awaiting a powerful new drug from Eli Lilly called retatrutide, which has demonstrated bariatric-surgery levels of weight loss. Some aren't even waiting for approval from the Food and Drug Administration, instead racing to acquire it through sketchy means," STAT reports.

"But STAT has learned that Eli Lilly and the FDA have allowed one person to gain access to the drug through the FDA's `compassionate use' program, a pathway that gives patients with serious and immediately life-threatening medical issues access to experimental treatments."

Tulsi would have had no problem.

Former members of the Science of Identity Foundation, a Hawaii-based religious group led by Chris Butler, have alleged that the group is an abusive cult. As part of these claims, ex-devotees alleged that followers were required to perform extreme acts of devotion, including eating Butler's nail clippings.

Tulsi Gabbard grew up attending schools run by followers of Butler and has described him as her "guru". Investigative reports indicate that Gabbard has long-standing ties to the foundation, with some former members suggesting Butler used her political rise to extend his influence.
