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.

A baby boy has been born in the UK to a woman who received a womb transplant from a deceased donor, marking a national medical milestone.

The mother, Grace Bell, who lives with Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome, gave birth in December 2025 at Queen Charlotte’s and Chelsea Hospital.

Her transplant surgery took place in June 2024 at Churchill Hospital. After the procedure, doctors used IVF and embryo transfer to achieve the pregnancy.

The successful birth shows that deceased-donor womb transplants may allow women born without a uterus to carry and deliver their own babies.

The case is part of an ongoing UK clinical trial exploring whether womb transplantation could one day become a routine medical treatment.

A remarkable step forward for medicine — and a life-changing moment for one family.

Michael Carroll won £9.7 million (around $15 million) in the National Lottery at just 19 years old.

After years of heavy spending on parties, cars, gambling, and drugs, he eventually lost most of his fortune and returned to work as a binman — saying he’s now happier living a simple life again.
