Trump administration withdraws 700 Marines from Los Angeles

More Marines leave LAThe Pentagon continued its withdrawal of troops sent to Los Angeles as part of President Donald Trump’s crackdown on illegal immigration, ordering 700 Marines back to their base.

Monday’s move follows a similar drawdown last week of 2,000 National Guard soldiers from Los Angeles.

Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth had ordered thousands of National Guard and the active-duty Marines to Los Angeles after some protests against immigration enforcement became violent in June. The Guardsmen had protected Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers who were rounding immigrants suspected of being inside the United States illegally. Marines protected federal property.

The deployments came despite opposition from California Gov. Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, both Democrats, who said local law enforcement officials had control of the protests.

Pete Hegseth replaces first woman to lead US naval academy with Marine Corps general

Yvette DavidsThe first woman to lead the US naval academy is being reassigned, with the defense secretary, Pete Hegseth, moving to replace her with a Marine Corps general, defense officials confirmed on Friday.

The decision marks the first time in the nearly 180-year history of the academy that a Marine Corps officer has been nominated to take charge.

Yvette Davids, who assumed leadership of the academy in January 2024, is being succeeded by Michael Borgschulte, currently responsible for Marine Corps personnel as the deputy commandant for manpower and reserve affairs based in Quantico, Virginia, according to a Friday press release from the defense department.

A Pentagon official, speaking anonymously to the Washington Post, said that the move was not a dismissal. Davids has been nominated for a senior position on the staff of the chief of naval operations following her roughly 18 months as head of the academy. The defense department confirmed the nomination in a statement on Friday afternoon.

Pentagon provided $2.4tn to private arms firms to ‘fund war and weapons’, report finds

Trillions went to weapons contractorsMost of defense department’s discretionary spending from 2020 to 2024 went to military contractors.

A new study of defense department spending previewed exclusively to the Guardian shows that most of the Pentagon’s discretionary spending from 2020 to 2024 has gone to outside military contractors, providing a $2.4tn boon in public funds to private firms in what was descrhttps://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/jul/08/pentagon-military-spendingibed as a “continuing and massive transfer of wealth from taxpayers to fund war and weapons manufacturing”.

Responsible Statecraft and Costs of War project at Brown University said that the Trump administration’s new Pentagon budget will push annual US military spending past the $1tn mark.

That will deliver a projected windfall of more than half a trillion dollars that will be shared among top arms firms such as Lockheed Martin and Raytheon as well as a growing military tech sector with close allies in the administration such as JD Vance, the report said.

VA hospitals remove politics and marital status from guidelines protecting patients from discrimination

VA protects patients from patients

The Department of Veterans Affairs has imposed new guidelines on VA hospitals nationwide that remove language that explicitly prohibited doctors from discriminating against patients based on their political beliefs or marital status.

The new rules, obtained by the Guardian, also apply to psychologists, dentists and a host of other occupations. They have already gone into effect in at least some VA medical centers.

Under federal law, eligible veterans must be given hospital care and services, and the revised VA hospital rules still instruct medical staff that they cannot discriminate against veterans on the basis of race, color, religion and sex. But language within VA hospital bylaws requiring healthcare professionals to care for veterans regardless of their politics and marital status has been explicitly eliminated from these bylaws, raising questions about whether individual workers could now be free to decline to care for patients based on personal characteristics not expressly protected by federal law.

Trump coveted a military spectacle but his parade proved underwhelming: ‘Just kind of lame’

Trump parade 'underwhelming'On Saturday, as a crowd of thousands of people near the Washington Monument listened, a loudspeaker dramatically announced the names of the US secretary of defense, vice-president and president. The final name received a modest roar that surely flushed the watching commander-in-chief with validation. With that, and with the boom of a 21-gun salute, the military parade that Donald Trump had coveted for years finally began.

A protester, Nicky Sundt, kept a lonely and mostly silent vigil at the side of the road. She held a sign depicting a cartoon Trump brushing back his comb-over to reveal a swastika emblazoned on his forehead. The placard said “Save our democracy”. Standing near her – as a “counterprotest to the counterprotest to the protest, or something,” as one of them put it – a group of pro-Trump men held court. One was draped in an American flag. Another had a giant picture of Trump, in a crown, with the exhortation “Trump for king”.
