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

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/

Sound like a job for ICE - NOT!

Re ICE @ US Airports: ICE agents will "support operational needs directed by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), including line management and crowd control within the domestic terminals," https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/politics-news/tom-homan-ice-crowded-airport-security-tsa-screenings-wait-times-rcna264618 #AirTravel #ICE #DHS #FAA #Airports #AirportSecurity #Fail #Idiots #TSA #USGov

The Regulation Hammer is about to drop!

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.
