Hegseth Orders Navy to Strip Name of Gay Rights Icon Harvey Milk from Ship Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has ordered the Navy to take the rare step of renaming a ship, one that bears the name of a gay rights icon, documents and sources show.

Hegseth has ordered that the USNS Harvey Milk, named for the iconic gay rights icon, be renamed. Harvey Milk served as a diving officer and later as a diving instructor for four years in the U.S. Navy. That this would happen at the start of Pride is intentional.

NEW: A federal judge said the Trump administration continues to operate in bad faith in the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, and she says Trump and his top aides are compounding the issue with contradictory statements.

Hey @thebulwark.com @timmiller.bsky.social is there a way to contribute to the @crooked.com fundraiser if we aren't going to attend? I want the little money I can contribute to go to the cause, not Ticketmaster! (Plus I won't be there anyway.) Thanks for keeping #Andry in the news.

Opinion | Women are having fewer kids. It’s not a mystery why. Republicans are finally waking up to the motherhood crisis, but their policies won’t help.

I want to tell you why the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia should matter to you.

The one power you cannot give the executive is the ability to imprison or expel anyone regardless of their legal rights. That is our key check against autocracy. And we are watching it disappear.

So wait...

The U.S. government has gone from supporting El Salvador's right-wing government disappearing Salvadorans in the 1980s...

...to now supporting El Salvador's right-wing government disappearing Americans in the 2020s?

Is that about right?

The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

Drunk texting?
