Paul Dans, an architect of Project 2025 and former Trump administration official, announces a primary challenge against Senator Lindsey Graham in South Carolina. Dans frames his campaign as a fight for the "God, family, country" movement and the survival of MAGA ideology post-Trump.

Amazon has launched its first batch of 27 internet satellites as part of "Project Kuiper," a $10 billion effort to compete with Elon Musk's Starlink. While Starlink operates at a lower altitude of roughly 340 kilometers, Amazon's satellites are positioned at 630 kilometers, which may result in higher latency. Astronomers continue to warn that the growing number of satellites—now exceeding 8,000 for SpaceX—poses risks to celestial observation and orbital safety.
