- Hegseth announces reinstallation of Confederate memorial at Arlington National Cemetery — Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth announced the reinstallation of a Confederate memorial at Arlington National Cemetery that was removed in 2003 for glorifying the Southern cause and glossing over slavery. The memorial depicts an enslaved woman as a "Mammy" and an enslaved man following his owner to war, and includes Latin text promoting the "Lost Cause" narrative romanticizing the pre-Civil War South. The reinstallation will cost taxpayers $10 million.
