Donald Trump made national headlines this week by announcing that the Pentagon would be renamed the Department of War, reviving the title used from the country’s founding until 1947. On Friday, September 5, he signed an executive order to begin the rebranding process and called for Congress to enact permanent legislative change. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth voiced support for this move, championing a “warrior ethos” within the agency. The shift was presented as a demonstration of strength and a redirection of U.S. military strategy. However, Congressional action will still be required to make the change permanent. President Trump’s remarks on social media about the United States having “lost” India and Russia to China also sparked debate and discussion about his foreign policy direction and priorities, stirring reaction from allies and critics alike. WION News and several other outlets covered these developments, highlighting both support from Trump’s base and criticism from Democratic leaders.
Legal issues surrounding Donald Trump also reached a new phase. As GoLocalProv reports, a federal judge ruled that his deployment of National Guard troops to Los Angeles in response to civil unrest earlier this year violated the Posse Comitatus Act, which restricts the domestic use of military force. Trump’s team is expected to file appeals. Further, another federal court demanded that two billion dollars in university funding, which had been cut, must be restored, creating another front for legal battles. The District of Columbia also filed suit over Trump’s use of National Guard troops to protect federal facilities in Washington, D.C., challenging its legality and drawing renewed national debate over the president’s emergency powers.
The Republican Party’s focus has also turned to the upcoming Senate races following Senator Joni Ernst’s announcement that she will not seek a third term. Politico and Bleeding Heartland both note how Iowa Representative Ashley Hinson quickly rolled out her Senate campaign, securing key endorsements and signaling intense intra-party competition. The national party’s attention appears riveted on high-stakes races across battleground states.
Meanwhile, the Republican National Committee is adjusting its strategy in light of recent polling and the unfolding news cycle. The party is working closely with Trump’s inner circle to coordinate messaging, particularly around military strength and immigration policy, as calls for a tougher border crackdown have been amplified by both the White House and leading conservative voices. Delegate selection processes and preparations for the national convention are ramping up, with officials aiming to present a united and forceful front ahead of the next election cycle.
Trump’s public profile remains highly visible on digital and cable platforms. His statements, as recounted by GoLocalProv and others, continue to provoke intense reactions across the political spectrum. Alex Jones, a controversial commentator, speculated publicly about Trump’s health, fueling a wave of discussion and conspiracy theories on social media, even sparking a tasteless so-called "dead pool." Such coverage underscores the polarizing and unpredictable nature of the current news environment.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
