- A Pentagon official said funding will come from Basic Allowance for Housing funds, a senior White House official added it will compensate those not receiving BAH, and CNN reported payments may be one-time BAH supplements for pay grades 0-6.
- Observers highlighted the symbolic $1,776 figure honoring America’s 200th birthday in 2026, with President Donald Trump saying, `Nobody understood that one until about 30 minutes ago`, amid criticism of his Wednesday address.
