    On two occasions in 2020 and 2023, all nominations for general and flag officers (GFOs) were on a blanket hold from Senate confirmation. The 2023 hold lasted approximately 10 months, not two weeks. Senior leaders within DOD, including the Secretary of Defense at the time and a group of former Secretaries of Defense who served in bipartisan administrations, expressed concerns that the nomination hold in 2023 posed a risk to national security and the well-being of military families, among other things.You asked us to review issues surrounding past holds on GFO nominations.

    The Camping World CEO claims he was forced to close down one of his North Carolina stores as he defied local politicians over the massive American flags flying over the locations. Marcus Lemonis made the shocking revelation that one of the national RV dealerships in Greenville, NC, was shuttered on April 18. Lemonis says he was forced to shut down operations at the smaller of the two locations after the city council sued him and the company for violating city ordinance with the larger-than-life flags, and continues to impose fines. “We think the ordinance is wrong,” Lemonis told local radio...

    Some students get suspended for fighting, others for wanting the American flag in the classroom. The latter, WBFF-TV reported Wednesday, happened to high school senior and aspiring U.S. Marine Parker Jensen, a student at Townson High School in Baltimore, Maryland. Jensen noticed classrooms at his high school did not display the American flag. According to WBFF, the Baltimore County school board policy and the Maryland Education Code both require the flag to be present in every room. When Jensen went to the Board of Education to ask about the lack of flags at school, he did not get answers. Instead,...

    WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas) introduced the Make American Flags in America Act of 2025. This legislation closes loopholes in existing law meant to ensure that American flags displayed on federal property or procured by federal agencies to be manufactured completely in the United States from American materials. Upon introduction, Sen. Cruz said, "There is bipartisan agreement that American flags should be produced in America using American materials, but loopholes in existing laws still allow Chinese manufacturers to sell flags, including through fraudulently-branded websites. This bill would close those loopholes. Congress should take it up and expeditiously...

    A flag reading "Support your local ICE raids" has been spotted in California, referring to Immigration and Customs Enforcement, according to social media posts. Why It Matters California is grappling with how to counter some of President Trump's policies, especially his immigration agenda, which he has said will involve ICE raids and mass deportations. Immigration and mass deportations were a key component of Trump's 2024 campaign. Americans largely support the president's mass deportation plans, but disagree about how policies should be carried out. A poll by The New York Times and Ipsos conducted from January 2 to 10 found that...
