Congress Moves to Counter Hegseth on Base Names
September 16, 2025 at 6:12 am EDT By Taegan Goddard

“Congress is inching toward a bipartisan agreement to reverse the Trump administration’s recent renaming of several Army bases across the southern United States that had long been politically controversial for honoring Confederate leaders,” the Washington Post reports.

“Tucked within the National Defense Authorization Act passed by the Republican-led House last week is a measure that, if adopted by the Senate, would block Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s reversal of a separate base-renaming effort that was directed by Congress five years ago.”

that would do something, won't be enough.

The country is being run by a bunch of racist, sexist, POS.

4. I know, isn't it cute to see them pretending to do their jobs.

And pretending they have one ounce of power.

Adorable.
