Are you worried about falling behind on student loan payments?
We want to hear from you for an upcoming story: bit.ly/4tEf6wv

English

Starting in December, all men aged 18-to-25 will be automatically registered for the military draft.
They’ll be added to the Selective Service System, an independent government agency that keeps a list of all eligible Americans. For decades, the majority of men would register themselves, or face a felony.
Congress tucked the rule change into a bipartisan defense bill that President Donald Trump signed into law in late 2025. It comes as enrollment has slipped in recent years, even as worries about conflicts with nations like China and Russia have grown.
There has not been a military draft since the Vietnam War.

@NewsHour Why didn't he go home as soon as he reached adulthood and begin the process of becoming a legal citizen? Also, my parents wanted the best for me. They could have robbed a bank and given me the money instead of my having to work my way through college but they are not criminals.

During this Trump administration, ICE has detained more than 260 people protected under Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, and more than 80 of them have been deported.
While DACA recipients can be removed for reasons, such as criminal convictions, advocates say some with no criminal record are being swept up in the broader crackdown.
@LisaDNews has more.

@NewsHour @IAmAmnaNawaz Saw Gen. Wesley Clark on NewsNation today and he said targeting dual use infrastructure is NOT a war crime.
English

Fears of a broader escalation are growing as President Trump threatened to attack Iran's civilian infrastructure.
"He's both threatening a war crime, and he's engaging in a war crime through that rhetoric itself," retired Lt. Col. Rachel VanLandingham tells @IAmAmnaNawaz.

@JonathanGo19861 @T18Sat If the "undocumented" people being detained are as you claim "working men and women" then they are criminals. It is unlawful to be employed in the US without proper authorization.
English

@T18Sat 1. Biden did not "throw open" the border. If you think so, post a link to a credible report of details. Don't just believe lying Republicans on this.
2. Most undocumented immigrants are not criminals. People rounded up by ICE were working men and women with families.

@NewsHour @IAmAmnaNawaz @ZohranKMamdani Why didn't Amna ask about his wife's social media posts? Mamdani's Wife Deletes X Account After Past Offensive Posts Resurface | 77 WABC share.google/FSSJlYtFavrhHS…

As the Muslim holy month of Ramadan comes to a close, @IAmAmnaNawaz traveled to New York City to talk to one of the most high-profile Muslim leaders, in one of the most high-pressure political jobs in the country.
@ZohranKMamdani is less than 3 months into his term as mayor of America’s biggest city. He's juggling how to fulfill his ambitious campaign promises, manage a huge budget deficit and respond to a rise in Islamaphobic rhetoric across the country.
The young Democratic Socialist has also forged a unique relationship with President Trump — through Oval Office visits and their shared love of New York City.
Here's Amna's exclusive conversation with @NYCMayor.

When the U.S. ignited a war with Iran last weekend, the State Department advised Americans to "depart now" from several countries in the region. But airspace closures left thousands of Americans suddenly stranded.
Over the last five days, nearly 24,000 U.S. citizens have safely returned to the United States from the Middle East.
We spoke with some of the Americans who were stranded overseas.

@DemocracyDocket Although New England's residents place 40% of their votes for Republicans, Democrat's gerrymandering has led to the region having no Republican representation in Congress.

English

🚨ATTENTION VIRGINIA VOTERS 🚨
Earlier this week, a court ruled that Democratic lawmakers’ special election, which would allow voters to decide on mid-decade redistricting to counter GOP gerrymandering, can proceed.
Know a Virginia resident? Let them know they can begin voting TOMORROW.

@JTMac32 @BillMelugin_ That's not good.
But he's a US citizen. We have to deal with him.
The other guy should not be here to begin with.
Right?

“The regime is more than just the individual, some of whom may live through this, many of whom will not. It’s institutions. And I see no indication that currently those institutions are weak, are fraying, or that you can destroy these institutions from the air," Former State Department official @AlanEyre1 told @IAmAmnaNawaz.
