Navy will remove sailors with medical shaving conditions after 1 year of failed treatment
By COREY DICKSTEIN STARS AND STRIPES • July 8, 2026
Sailors with shaving-related conditions will get one year of medical treatment to meet the Navy’s clean-shaven face standard or they will be removed from the service, according to new guidance. The Navy will no longer issue permanent shaving waivers to sailors who suffer from skin conditions caused by shaving, including pseudofolliculitis barbae, according to a Navy memorandum published this week. The updated policy brings the service into line with guidance issued last year by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth banning most shaving accommodations for service members.
The Navy’s July directive instructs all sailors with skin irritation or other conditions caused by shaving — including those with current medical shaving waivers — to report the issue to their supervisors and seek medical evaluation. If recommended for treatment, their commanding officer may issue a temporary shaving waiver, allowing them to maintain a beard up to ¼ inch in length. Commanders may grant temporary waivers for up to 90 days, according to the guidance.
Those waivers must “align with prescribed treatment.” Commanders may only grant a 90-day shaving waiver four times before they must recommend a sailor for administrative separation. Sailors who cannot meet shaving standards after one year of treatment shall be deemed to have “an unmanageable permanent condition” and recommended for “separation due to failure to comply with grooming standards,” according to the memo.
“The operational success of the U.S. Navy demands the readiness of all sailors. Mission accomplishment hinges on stringent compliance with standards and ensuring implementing policies are clear, unambiguous, and compliant with law and regulation,” the memo reads. “Grooming standards add to sailor and mission safety and ensure the safe and proper utilization of protective equipment in all naval environments and operational conditions.” The policy says the Navy will not grant temporary medical shaving waivers to recruits or others entering or reentering the service.
Pseudofolliculitis barbae, commonly known as razor bumps, is a condition that can cause a person to experience painful inflammation after shaving. The condition disproportionately affects Black men, some 60% of whom may experience it, according to the American Osteopathic College of Dermatology.

I will die on the hill that Biden’s Superpower was his long, extensive career in the government. He knew the ins and outs. He knew how to maneuver the levers of government to help people. He KNEW how government could work to help people, which is why, even after he was thwarted at the Supreme Court about Student Loan Forgiveness – a subject he didn’t even run on in 2020, he went and used his knowledge and instructed his Administration to find a way to help people.

These folks really don’t understand government or legislation at all. They only care about the thrill of the campaign. It’s essentially an anti-progressive position. Actual change requires leadership, legislative, & coalitional acumen. Also: this POTUS will inherit a broken gov’t

It’s really starting to bother me. Experience does matter. Two years in the Senate with little-to-no state-level experience simply isn’t enough. Particularly if you position yourself as anti-coalitional. It wouldn’t be enough even if one were inheriting Clinton or Obama’s gov’ts.

It’s important to note that that Lawrence didn’t “just” say something false about Black leaders, he also specified the *white* Left. It would have been bad enough to just say “Left,” but he very specifically pit Black against white. A highly racialized claim. Not an error.

Back to William Lawrence. Why specify the *white* Left? We know this segment of the “Left” IS mostly white, but he’s not describing demographics, he’s describing an ideological position: “white Left.” Why does he value the “white Left” over a broader concept of “Left?”

This is not the first time that Trump has amplified, and claimed credit for, a company’s promotions, with or without its consent. In fact it’s not even the first time he did it with Walmart.

Watch what Walmart actually did here, because the non-response is the whole story. Trump claimed the company was cutting beef prices “at his request.” Walmart’s own statement, released minutes later, didn’t mention him once. No confirmation. No pushback. Just a normal press release about summer rollbacks it had already announced the week before.
That’s not an oversight. That’s the lesson Walmart learned last year, when merely acknowledging that tariffs raise prices got the company a Truth Social threat accusing it of price gouging and telling it to “EAT THE TARIFFS.” Companies in this administration have exactly two options when Trump claims credit for something they did on their own, stay silent and let the false narrative stand, or correct him and risk becoming his next target.
Rampell’s piece counts the pattern methodically, McDonald’s value meals, drug pricing deals nobody can actually verify, a DoorDash report cherry picked to counter the CPI, and now a sketchy gas station network with no disclosed ownership. Every one of these works the same way. Trump doesn’t need the claim to be true. He just needs the company to be too afraid of him to say it isn’t.

William Lawrence’s comments attacking a generation of Black political leadership are deeply disappointing and raise serious questions about his judgment and the kind of leadership he would bring to Michigan’s 7th District. Suggesting that Black leaders have simply served as a pillar of the political establishment dismisses the extraordinary role they have played in expanding civil rights, protecting voting rights, and creating opportunity for millions of Americans.
The people of Michigan’s Seventh District deserve a representative who respects those contributions and is focused on bringing people together to solve problems for Michigan families—not tearing down the leaders whose advocacy has helped move our country forward.

@jamesetta_w
I think @jaketapper’s defensiveness here is because he knows there’s some truth to the main criticism. He spent months hawking a book about Biden’s health with multiple segments per day during his press tour, yet he and his network haven’t shown the same level of scrutiny towards a clearly addled Trump. Trump was having senior moments at the same time @cnn was devoting more segments to Biden who was out of office by that time so Jake could sell more copies.
McConnell could not walk by himself or give statements longer than a few seconds, had multiple moments where he froze in front of cameras, and he still has to disappear for weeks before media gave sustained scrutiny to his health. I’d have more respect for Jake if he engaged with the criticism in good faith. Instead we get doubling down like “look we did one or two segments stop criticizing me!” that only upsets me even more. Biden being old was treated as existential; it’s simply not for Republicans of similar age and in some cases worse health.

Isn’t it funny how the mainstream media suddenly loses interest when the truth destroys one of its favorite anti-Biden narratives. Yes, you read that right: @HunterBiden won a defamation case over bullshit claims that he was corrupt.
And remember the FBI informant who claimed Joe and Hunter Biden took bribes from Burisma? He pleaded guilty to lying. But you probably didn’t know that because it only made it to the back page headlines at the time. The press gave the accusations endless headlines and wall-to-wall coverage. But when the stories collapse, the accusers are exposed, and the Bidens are vindicated? Crickets. Because the lie was profitable. The truth was inconvenient.

He doesn’t want to earn votes, which he could have done legitimately by signing the housing bill; he wants to rig the rules of the game before a single vote is even cast… When a president would rather blow up his own party’s legislative win than let a real election happen on a level playing field, that tells you he’s not preparing to win the midterms. He’s preparing to make sure it doesn’t matter whether he does.”

Urging @AndyBeshearKY to call a special election right now to replace McConnell would be political malpractice. Democrats haven’t won a U.S. Senate race in Kentucky since 1992. Calling one now would almost certainly give Republicans another reliable vote and make Trump’s life easier. The smart move for Democrats is to keep that seat vacant as long as legally possible and leave Republicans one vote short. (actually two now with the passing of Graham)
Andy Beshear has won THREE statewide elections in deep-red Kentucky. The left-wing social media consultants screaming from the cheap seats have won exactly nothing. Maybe listen to the guy who actually knows how to win. 🤷.

It would not. Beshear had all that base in his throat for Biden when he should be focused on helping a Democrat get into McConnell’s seat. So frankly it’s not political malpractice at all. Beshear needs to grow a spine and call for one

Ro Khanna can’t get the indignities Palestinians face out of his head. Black Americans are facing the same indignities & he’s a member of Congress where he can directly make an impact for Black Americans. He clearly thinks a winning 2028 issue is Palestine, not Americans.

Someone carved a racial slur into a watermelon and left it at Atlanta Harvest, a Black owned farmers market in metro Atlanta. The owner EliYahu Ben Asa discovered it while preparing to donate it to a community center. Instead of being broken by it, he spoke up, and the COMMUNITY responded. One woman drove 90 minutes just to show her support. That is what we do. Hate tries to tear us down and we build each other back up. That is the POWER of community! blackenterprise.com/black-owned-fa…

Note the converging frames around both Black and Jewish people. Notice the grievance. It’s Mr. Lawrence who said something wrong. But, according to him, dark forces around him are the responsible parties for any problems. Black people defang his movement. Jewish people expose him

Nothing to see here: Just 292,150+ people warning about Trump Admin’s new federal rule to strip grant funding power away from experts, scientists and unbiased arbiters
Instead granting power over federal grants to Trump appointees
Enormous issue

Tremendous reporting from the @FreeBeacon: Medicare for All candidate Abdul El Sayed’s millionaire wife doesn’t accept *any insurance* at her medical private practice. And you already know who he’s going to blame for this while lying about it through his teeth: AIPAC! 🤣
