Tuesday’s military meeting comes with a possible government shutdown looming as lawmakers have until the end of September to pass a funding bill or face a partial government shutdown.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has announced that he has decided that the 20 soldiers who received the Medal of Honor for their actions in 1890 at Wounded Knee will keep their awards in a video posted to social media Thursday evening.

Hegseth has summoned hundreds of generals for what is expected to be a short lecture on the “warrior ethos.” But top brass is bracing for possible firings or demotions.

In May, the senator helped reintroduce legislation, Remove the Stain Act, that would rescind the medals and remove the soldiers’ names from the military’s Medal of Honor Roll.

Ex-FBI Director James Comey indicted on criminal charges after Trump pressured the DOJ to investigate. And, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth calls unusual meeting of top military commanders.

The Supreme Court cleared the way for Trump to freeze billions in foreign aid. Former FBI director turned Trump critic James B. Comey was indicted. Context: Trump told prosecutors to take cases from the D.C. government — which does not allow the death penalty — as much as possible to ensure more cases qualify for the federal death penalty.

There are 800 generals and admirals spread out over the globe. Secretary Pete Hegseth ordered them to gather on short notice next week, for reasons unknown.
