## Resource

The House just voted 44-12 to rename the Pentagon back to the Department of War — a move tied to the massive defense spending bill, echoing Trump’s earlier executive order meant to signal strength and deter enemies. Backers like Rep. Ronny Jackson call it restoring American pride, but critics say it’s a costly, cosmetic distraction that won’t actually make adversaries fear us more. With the bill heading to the full House and likely facing fierce Senate opposition, this name change might just be a footnote — unless it survives the final legislative dance before year’s end.
