Sen. Adam Schiff introduced a resolution to stop the Trump administration from renaming a group of Navy ships, though the California senator didn’t get buy-in from Republicans.

Schiff’s resolution “strongly encourages the Department of Defense not to take any action” on renaming the John Lewis class of oilers, all of which were named after civil- and human-rights leaders.

His attempted to pass the resolution via unanimous consent was blocked by Republican Sen. Ted Budd.
