"Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth is asking Congress to give the Pentagon $52.5 million in taxpayer funds so that the Trump Administration can illegally change the Department of Defense's name to the 'Department of War.'"
"Though President Donald Trump signed an executive order in September saying that the department name should be changed to reflect the military's 'readiness and resolve,' only Congress can permanently rename executive department names."
"Trump is asking Congress for $1.5 trillion in extra defense spending to help cover his illegal Iran war, which Congress hasn't approved either and which is now stretching into its eighth week."
"Peace talks with Iran have stalled, providing no end in sight for the conflict, as Trump has threatened to commit genocide and war crimes by wiping out the entirety of the Iranian people."
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is seeking $52.5 million from Congress to rename the Department of Defense to the 'Department of War.' President Trump signed an executive order for this change, but only Congress can officially rename departments. The request is significantly lower than the Congressional Budget Office's estimate of $125 million for a broader renaming effort. Additionally, Trump is requesting $1.5 trillion for defense spending related to an ongoing conflict with Iran, which has already cost taxpayers $25 billion.
