President Donald Trump's effort to rebrand the Department of Defense into the Department of War hit a major snag Tuesday when the GOP-controlled House Rules Committee rejected an amendment that would have codified the name change into law. The proposed name change has been controversial, both for the multi-billion dollar expense and the massive administrative undertaking redesigning and relabeling seals, uniforms, stationery, logos, signage, insignia, and other graphics throughout the more than 700,000 DOD facilities throughout the U.S. and around the world.

Trump and Hegseth have been publicly pushing for the rebrand for weeks, claiming the change would present the US military as more aggressive to the world by reverting to the name that was used when the US was victorious in the first and second world wars. Everybody likes that we had an unbelievable history of victory when it was the Department of War, Trump told reporters in the Oval Office last week. Then we changed it to Department of Defense.

WASHINGTON - Workers in the nation's capital are twice as likely to head into the office, rather than work from home, compared to the rest of the country, according to new data - and it is all thanks to President Trump. Trump's executive order targeting federal workers getting back into the office has skyrocketed the number of employees working on-site. The number of federal workers in DC who are in the office full-time stands at 46%, according to a Gallup poll released Wednesday.

The White House issued an executive order at the end of last week that added NASA to the National Security Exclusions list. Being on the list means that NASA employees no longer have the same protections under US federal labor laws. Union rights have been stripped away, meaning that collective bargaining and negotiation regarding potential cuts will not be possible under the order. The move also repudiates existing collective bargaining agreements.

The order, which Trump is expected to sign on Monday, his first day in office, will direct the Office of Management and Budget and the Office of Personnel Management to coordinate with agencies to terminate all DEI programs in federal agencies, including environmental justice programs, equity related grants, equity action plans and equity initiatives, the official said.
