The U.S. public is not happy with The White House and Karoline Leavitt for saying that a military draft is on the table

Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt was asked about the possibility during a briefing, sparking backlash online as many Americans say they would strongly oppose any return to conscription.

If a draft were ever reinstated, the process would run through the Selective Service System — the federal agency that maintains a registry of eligible men ages 18–25. In the event of a national emergency, the president — currently Donald Trump — could request authorization from Congress to activate the draft.

If approved, the Selective Service would begin a lottery system based on birth dates, calling up individuals for medical and background screening, with some qualifying for deferments or exemptions before being sent to military training.

The U.S. hasn’t used a draft since the Vietnam War era, but the system remains in place in case it’s ever needed again.

Franz Ferdinand lead singer Alex Kapranos angrily took to Instagram stories attacking the Israeli Defense Forces for using their hit song ‘Take Me Out’ in a new propaganda video.

In the video, the song plays over footage of fighter planes and ground explosions. The IDF have labeled the post: “Operation Roaring Lion – this is how it’s done.”

Kapranos wrote: “These warmongering murderers are using our music without our consent. This makes us both nauseous and furious. Kind of typical though, isn’t it? To strut up and take what isn’t theirs with a vile arrogance…”

Recent economic data and political developments have fueled criticism of the administration of Donald Trump, as opponents argue that rising gas prices, slowing job growth, and internal turmoil are signs of deeper problems in Washington, D.C.. Critics claim that economic pressure on households—combined with reported disagreements and instability within the White House—suggests the administration is struggling to maintain control of its policy agenda.
Supporters of the administration, however, counter that short-term economic fluctuations and political tension are common during periods of global uncertainty, particularly amid geopolitical conflicts and shifting energy markets. The debate continues as analysts and lawmakers watch upcoming economic indicators and policy decisions closely.

Donald Trump recently downplayed concerns about rising gas prices, saying national security priorities outweigh short-term costs at the pump. In comments reported by Reuters, Trump stated that the ongoing mission involving tensions with Iran is more important than temporary price increases. “If they rise, they rise,” he said, emphasizing that the broader objective is stability and security in the region. While the U.S. national average for gasoline has climbed to around $3.25 per gallon, Trump predicted that prices could “drop very rapidly” once the conflict and related instability come to an end.
