| | Breaking Updates | | House Passes Defense Bill Automatically Registering Men 18-26 for Draft | The House of Representatives passed a measure on Friday as part of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) that would automatically register men aged 18 to 26 for selective service, commonly known as the military draft. While the draft hasn't been implemented in over fifty years, failure to register remains a federal felony, carrying potential fines and legal repercussions. The measure underscores the government's readiness to mobilize in the event of a national emergency or war necessitating a draft, despite the current reliance on an all-volunteer military. | Selective Service registration mandates nearly all male U.S. citizens and male immigrants aged 18 to 25 to register, ensuring a structured system for potential conscription if needed. | Exemptions exist for certain groups such as active-duty military personnel, disabled individuals, and conscientious objectors. The law currently requires only men to register, but Selective Service is prepared to expand registration to women if legislative changes occur. | If implemented, the draft process would resemble past practices, involving a lottery based on birthdates to determine the order of call-ups. Those selected may not automatically enter combat roles and can seek deferments for various reasons including education or marital status. The Selective Service would activate following authorization from Congress and the president, conducting a nationally televised lottery if necessary, and outlining detailed protocols for induction and service requirements. | Read more updates here |

| Surgeon General Demands Warning Label on Social Media Apps | Dr. Vivek Murthy, the U.S. Surgeon General, has urgently called for Congress to mandate warning labels on social media platforms, likening it to the labeling requirements for cigarettes and alcohol. In his impassioned plea, Murthy highlighted studies linking excessive social media use among adolescents to increased risks of mental health issues, including depression. Despite his authority to issue advisories, Murthy emphasized that congressional action is necessary to implement a surgeon general's warning that would inform parents and teens about these potential harms regularly. | The Surgeon General pointed out that while social media companies have faced scrutiny and congressional hearings over their impact on children, little legislative action has been taken to address these concerns. Murthy argued that a warning label could serve as a crucial step in raising awareness among parents who may not fully grasp the risks associated with their children's social media use. He stressed the need for broader societal measures, suggesting schools adopt phone-free policies and advocating for parental restrictions on social media until children reach an older age. | Despite some states enacting legislation to regulate children's access to social media, Murthy believes that collective parental action and legislative intervention at the federal level are essential to mitigate the detrimental effects of excessive social media use on youth mental health. He underscored the severity of the youth mental health crisis exacerbated by social media and called for a more concerted effort to protect children from potential harm. | | Read more updates here | | | American Sports & Culture |  | Caitlin Clark overcomes another physical game by scoring 22 points to lead Fever past Sky 91-83 | There were several heated moments during the game, including Clark smacking Dana Evans' arm after Evans hooked Clark in the first half. |
