Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has tapped Elon Musk to co-lead a new Pentagon initiative, Project Meridian, examining the future of warfare and recommending weapons and technologies the U.S. military should develop. Musk will work alongside Anduril founder Palmer Luckey and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, with the Pentagon expecting the project to produce its findings within 120 days. Meanwhile, Donald Trump continued attacking the word “affordability” during a Texas speech, arguing that it is being used to criticize his economic record even as he claims prices are falling. Elsewhere, a Palestinian prisoner describes nearly two years of detention in an Israeli prison, the White House has begun mailing $500 ACA refund checks to eligible enrollees, anti-Zionist Hasidic Jews face hate-crime charges after removing an Israeli flag, and Trump is offering another exclusive dinner through his cryptocurrency venture. A failed execution attempt involving Christa Pike has also renewed debate over the death penalty.
