Hegseth, Trump had no authority to order Anthropic to be blacklisted, judge says

“I don’t know”: Department of War fails to justify blacklisting Anthropic.

Ars Technica

So there are some sane purveyors of justice still out there!

Federal judge has granted Anthropic’s request for a preliminary injunction in its lawsuit against the Trump administration. Anthropic sued the administration to try to reverse the Defense Department’s decision to try to blacklist the company.

The order bars the Trump administration from implementing, applying or enforcing the president’s directive banning federal agencies from using Anthropic's Claude models and temporarily blocks the Pentagon’s efforts to designate Anthropic as a threat to U.S. national security. https://www.cnbc.com/2026/03/26/anthropic-pentagon-dod-claude-court-ruling.html #Anthropic #Lawsuit #DoD #Pentagon #USGov #Claude #TRO #BlackList #NationalSecurity #Justice #AI #ChatBot

SMACKDOWN!

Motion to dismiss - DENIED by U.S. District Court Judge Tanya Chutkan allowing a Federal Lawsuit accusing Elon Musk of illegally exercising executive powers as the head of DOGE to move forward.

Net-net the court ruled that Musk took actions in DOGE “despite lacking lawful authority.” https://www.thedailybeast.com/donald-trumps-bid-to-kill-embarrassing-elon-musk-lawsuit-fails-miserably/

I saw videos of ICE agents at US airports. They were standing around chatting, drinking coffee and NOT wearing masks 😱

Prediction Market Vendors may soon face U.S. Federal Gov. ban on sports and casino-style betting like poker, blackjack, and slot machine games. Lawmakers argue these products blur the line between financial markets and gambling.

About 20 airports around the #USA are NOT affected by the DHS (TSA) shutdown because their screening programs are administered by private companies through TSA's Screening Partnership Program.
