BREAKING
Russian Ministry of Defense: 37 Ukrainian drones destroyed in 4 hours over regions of Russia and the Black Sea.
Sheikh Qassem: Our supporters make up more than half of Lebanon's population, and all of these people are united under the banner of protecting Lebanon, its Resistance, its people, and its integrity.
Sheikh Qassem: There will be no phased handing in of our arms. [The Israelis] must first enact the agreement before we start talking about a defensive strategy.
Sheikh Qassem: Be brave in the face of foreign pressures, and we will be by your side in this stance.
Sheikh Qassem: Stripping us of our arms is like stripping us of our very soul, and this will prompt us to show them our might.
Sheikh Qassem: We will not abandon our arms, for they gave us dignity; we will not abandon our arms, for they protect us against our enemy.
Sheikh Qassem: The US efforts we are seeing are aimed at sabotaging Lebanon and constitute a call for sedition.
Sheikh Qassem: If you truly want to establish sovereignty and work for Lebanon’s interests, then stop the aggression.
Sheikh Qassem: The United States, which is meddling in Lebanon, is not trustworthy but rather poses a danger to it.
Sheikh Qassem: The United States is preventing the weapons that protect the homeland.

The majority of Americans polled in the new Axios-Ipsos American Health Index believe businesses and the government do not prioritize residents' health and well-being.

People are increasing their spending on mental health services, while the federal government has provided additional funds to states to expand community behavioral health centers.

Despite increased attention and awareness of mental health and telemedicine services, stigma and a lack of access continue to prevent people from getting needed treatment.

The majority of respondents (86%) said their emotional well-being is very good or somewhat good, compared to 13% who said it is poor or somewhat poor, according to a nationwide poll of 1,213 U.S. adults.

However, almost three-quarters of the people polled say they do not believe that the government and businesses are prioritizing people's health, and only 28% believe that the government is ready for another pandemic. Moreover, less than half have reported that they trust the information on health topics that they receive from their state's governor.

The same percentage said their mental health is good. More Republicans (92%) said their mental health and well-being were good compared to Democrats (85%).

In the previous year, 18% of respondents said they had spoken with a mental health expert or counselor. It's also crucial to point out that 75% of those polled said they are somewhat or firmly opposed to using AI for mental health therapy instead of individual counseling.

Investor financing has increased for digital behavioral health startups, including those that create chatbots to support mental health.
