Anthropic Faces Potential $5B Hit as Pentagon Dispute Intensifies

Anthropic warned that its feud with the Pentagon could cost up to $5 billion in revenue as negotiations over guardrails for AI use stall Pentagon contracts. OpenAI and Google researchers filed an amicus brief supporting Anthropic, arguing the Pentagon’s “supply-chain risk” designation could hurt the broader US AI industry. Anthropic is seeking a temporary court order to continue Pentagon-related work while lawsuits challenge the designation and its First Amendment claims. Some customers have paused talks or demanded escape clauses, but major cloud providers will continue offering Claude without Pentagon ties; a San Francisco hearing could happen soon.

Judge leaves door open for future challenge to Trump White House ballroom, won’t halt now

A federal judge refused to grant a preliminary injunction to stop Trump’s plan to build a 90,000-square-foot ballroom atop the White House East Wing site, saying the National Trust for Historic Preservation’s claim under the Administrative Procedure Act isn’t currently actionable. He signaled opponents could amend their suit to pursue an ultra vires argument, potentially delaying the project if pursued. The White House Office of the Executive Residence runs the privately funded $400 million project; the East Wing was demolished starting last year, with underground work expected this month and above-ground work possibly beginning in April. Trump celebrated the ruling on Truth Social, but the legal battle may continue with reframed claims.

Court records undercut DHS’s Oregon border stop narrative about two Venezuelan immigrants

After DHS described two Venezuelans in Portland as gang-connected threats shot during a targeted border stop, court filings and an FBI affidavit contradicted key elements, showing prosecutors did not-claim the driver was a gang member and that one individual may have been a victim in a prior incident. No body-camera footage exists, and investigators released only partial video later, prompting criticism from immigration experts that officials demonized the defendants. The case now hinges on credibility and whether prosecutors can prove intent to assault an officer without video evidence.
