You mean the Department of Defense? Just because a Authoritarian Regime starts renaming our critical institutions doesn't make it so. Its kind of like calling the "Gulf of Mexico" the "Gulf of America ". Its stupid to step into line with this.

A few days ago Hegseth threatened two mutually exclusive things: invoking the Defense Production Act or declaring Anthropic a supply chain risk. Today he went with the latter [https://x.com/SecWar/status/2027507717469049070]. That is the main topic now. What they did is basically the exact opposite of invoking the Defense Production Act.
