โŒจPresident Trump formally directed the renaming of the Department of Defense to the 'Department of War' on September 5th, a development anticipated from previous day's reports and finalized with the signing of an executive order.

A major ICE raid at a Georgia Hyundai plant led to the detention of 475 immigrants, sparking discussions on its social impact. A federal judge also blocked the administration's move to end legal protections for over a million immigrants. Tensions escalated with Venezuela following provocative moves against US Navy vessels. Discussions surrounding Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s contentious Senate hearing continued, though less prominently.
