Previously, I wrote:

But that's because the #Trump DOJ is hammering on the language of Department of Navy v. Egan (1988) https://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/484/518/ and Lee v. Garland (2024) https://law.justia.com/cases/federal/appellate-courts/cadc/20-5221/20-5221-2024-10-29.html with all the bluster of a con artist or chat bot in a self-reinforcement loop. But both those cases were predicated on the presumption of regularity — that the appropriate agency, following procedure, undertook a careful determination and the review of which is a nonjusticiable political question. Trump's four #ExecutiveOrders make it clear that none of that happened and all of this is retaliation for not capitulating. And NRA v. Vullo (2024) https://www.oyez.org/cases/2023/22-842 seems to say that is coercion in violation of the First Amendment.
So #MikeMasnick argues https://www.techdirt.com/2026/03/09/doj-un-drops-its-appeal-against-law-firms-files-brief-that-gets-the-first-amendment-exactly-backwards/
> The brief actually cites NRA v. Vullo, .... The Supreme Court held —unanimously — that government officials using their regulatory authority to punish or suppress disfavored private speech can violate the First Amendment, even if the official frames their actions in terms of legitimate regulatory interests.
...
> Vullo actually undercuts their entire argument. The point of the Vullo framework is that when government speech is coupled with government action designed to punish disfavored private expression, the combination can be unconstitutional coercion. The administration [tries the ruse of] ”Section 1 is just government speech.” That’s precisely the move Vullo says you can’t get away with.
So maybe that security clearance revocation is just as much Jello as Trump's Florida lawsuit against the BBC.
Here we go. #Anthropic sues the Government for labeling it a security risk out of animus. #WilmerHale, one of the #LawFirms that stood up to #Trump's bullying #ExecutiveOrders now gets paid to explain again that the government doesn't get to have hurt feelings.
Anthropic PBC v. U.S. Department of War (California N.D. 26-cv-01996) https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/72379655/anthropic-pbc-v-us-department-of-war/
Five counts, one theme — animus omnia vitiat:
Count I — APA / 10 U.S.C. § 3252 — The "supply chain risk" designation doesn't follow the statute or the facts.
Count II — First Amendment Retaliation — "AI shouldn't autonomously kill people" is protected speech.
Count III — Ultra Vires / Article II — No law lets a President destroy a company by social media post.
Count IV — Fifth Amendment Due Process — You can't de facto debar someone with no notice, no hearing, no findings.
Count V — APA § 558 — Agencies can't impose sanctions outside their delegated authority.
The Trump Administration had a temper tantrum and said "You're not the boss of me, I'm the boss of you. I'll end you!". Anthropic points out that animus is no substitute for #RuleOfLaw.
So why did they sue #Hegseth's #DepartmentOfWar rather than the statutory #DepartmentOfDefense? Because Trump authorized the name, because it shows respect to #Hegseth's sensitive feelings, and because it underscores the ridiculousness of the government tasking #AI to kill (and surveil) people autonomously. #skynet! On the off-chance the judge orders a caption change, their hands are clean and the lawyer's can't point to any act of defiance.
“Combating Cybercrime, Fraud, and Predatory Schemes Against American Citizens” (March 6, 2026)
This executive order is notable less for its specific policy mechanics than for how it uses language. The rhetoric follows a familiar pattern: it opens with crisis, using emotionally charged references to harm done to “American families,” “our youth,” and “the most vulnerable.” It then expands the threat by linking fraud to coercion, trafficking, forced labor, and foreign state tolerance. Only after that escalation does the order present presidential action as the necessary response, followed by agency implementation.
So the language is doing more than introducing policy. It moralizes the issue, elevates fraud from a law-enforcement problem to a national-security-style threat, and casts the state as protector against predatory external actors.
That matters because the opening framing is often the part that travels most widely in headlines and social media, while the administrative substance is more procedural. The order is not only directing agencies; it is also shaping how the public is meant to understand the problem before judging the policy response.

FAIRFAX, Va. — President Barack Obama tore into the National Rifle Association on Thursday as he sought support for his actions on gun control, accusing the powerful lobby group of peddling an "imaginary fiction" that he said has distorted the national debate about gun violence.
