- Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth directed the renaming of the USNS Harvey Milk, a ship honoring the gay rights activist and Navy veteran.
- Harvey Milk was one of the first openly gay elected officials in the U.S. and served as a Navy diving officer during the Korean War.
- The renaming reflects Hegseth’s effort to revive a ‘warrior culture’ by scaling back diversity and inclusion initiatives in the military.
- The new name will be announced after internal reviews, amid political backlash condemning the change as undermining core American values.
The reported decision by the Trump Administration to change the names of the USNS Harvey Milk and other ships in the John Lewis-class is a shameful, vindictive erasure of those who fought to break down barriers for all to chase the American Dream.— Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi commented on the plans of the Trump Administration.

- Colonel Susannah Meyers was dismissed as commander of Pituffik Space Base for allegedly undermining President Trump's agenda.
- Meyers sent an email critical of Vice President JD Vance's visit, stating that she would keep the US, Danish, and Greenlandic flags flying despite his criticisms.
