Trump signs executive order rebranding Pentagon as Department of War Order directs Pete Hegseth to seek congressional approval for permanent change from Department of Defense Joseph Gedeon in Washington Fri 5 Sep 2025 21.25 BST Share Donald Trump signed an executive order on Friday to rebrand the Department of Defense as the Department of War, a callback to the department’s original name used from 1789 to 1947. The directive will make Department of War the secondary title, and is a way to get around the need for congressional approval to formally rename a federal agency, an administration official said. “We won the first world war, we won the second world war, we won everything before that and in between,” Trump said at the signing. “And then we decided to go woke and we changed the name to the Department of Defense.” The administration has already begun implementing the symbolic changes: visitors to the Pentagon’s defense.gov website are now automatically redirected to war.gov. Trump sends 10 stealth fighter planes to Puerto Rico amid war on Caribbean drug cartels Read more The move comes days after a deadly US navy airstrike killed 11 people on a small boat in international waters, which the military said involved a drug vessel operated by the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua. Some legal experts questioned whether the strike was lawful under international law. The combination of aggressive military action and symbolic rebranding goes in contrast with Trump’s repeated claims to be “the anti-war president” who campaigned on promises to end conflicts and avoid new wars. Trump said during the signing of the order that his focus on strength and trade has improved America’s position in the world.. Trump has argued the original name better reflects military victories and honestly represents what the department does. The rebrand would reverse the 1947 name change made as part of postwar reforms that emphasized defense over warfare. Seven US warships and one nuclear-powered fast-attack submarine were reported to be heading for the Caribbean following Monday’s strike, another layer in the measures Trump has taken to combat what he claims is the threat from Tren de Aragua. Congressional approval would ultimately be required for any permanent name change, though the House member Greg Steube from Florida and the senator Mike Lee from Utah, both Republicans, introduced legislation to make the switch official. “We’re going to go on offense, not just on defense. Maximum lethality, not tepid legality. Violent effect, not politically correct,” the secretary of defense, Pete Hegseth, said in the Oval Office. “We’re going to raise up warriors, not just defenders.

Giants vs Cubs

  Well,  it’s time for a new series , and for the first time in a very long while, it actually feels like the San Francisco Giants are playing some good baseball. Fresh off a road series victory against the best team in baseball, the Giants got a much-needed off-day on Monday, and now return home to face … well, the second-best team in the National League, the Chicago Cubs. What fun! A little bit of roster news for the Giants: they’ve welcomed back Keaton Winn, who returns from AAA Sacramento. Unfortunately, Winn is back because closer Randy Rodríguez has  with a right elbow sprain. Fingers crossed. Taking the mound for San Francisco is veteran right-hander Justin Verlander, who makes his 23rd start of the year. The three-time Cy Young winner is just 1-10 on the season, but has a 4.64 ERA, a 3.88 FIP, and 99 strikeouts against 37 walks in 110.2 innings. He’s been pitching pretty well lately, with the exception of his last start, when he gave up seven runs in 4.1 inni...
