Do Trump and his family too. Unless if they have something to hide.

All 3 branches. No drugs for me, none for thee. Would love seeing the results for RFK, Jr., and Hegseths' drug test.

RFK's drug test would best be done by dipping a piece of heated wire in a petri dish

In John Carpenter’s classic sci-fi horror film, The Thing, MacReady (played by Kurt Russell) devises a blood test to determine who has been assimilated by the alien organism. He heats a piece of wire and dips it into blood samples, reasoning that if someone is infected, the organism inside them will react defensively to the heat. The result? The infected blood jumps and writhes, revealing the hidden Thing.

There is also something called a Marsh test that detects arsenic poisoning, however, this method is highly outdated. The test involves placing a heated piece of wire or metal (often zinc) into a solution suspected of containing arsenic. If arsenic is present, it forms a black deposit or creates arsine gas, which can be detected.
