Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei sat down with CBS News for an exclusive interview, hours after Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth declared the company a supply chain risk to national security, which restricts military contractors from doing business with the AI giant. Amodei called the move "retaliatory and punitive," and he said Anthropic sought to draw "red lines" in the government's use of its technology because "we believe that crossing those lines is contrary to American values, and we wanted to stand up for American values."

Legal analyst Marcy Wheeler challenges Linda Greenhouse's optimistic reading of Chief Justice John Roberts' recent tariff opinion, arguing that Roberts' detailed paragraph cataloguing Trump's erratic tariff changes was not a sign of exasperation but rather a functional element of his Major Questions Doctrine analysis. Wheeler contends that while Roberts noted the capricious nature of Trump's tariff decisions, his ruling focused narrowly on whether Congress granted the executive such power—not on whether Trump's justifications were factually dishonest. Wheeler further argues that Roberts and the conservative majority have consistently ignored lower court factual findings that directly call out the administration's false pretenses, particularly in Shadow Docket rulings. Until Roberts begins affirming the judgments of district judges who are explicitly documenting the administration's pattern of deception and defiance of court orders, Wheeler concludes, claims of Roberts' exasperation with Trump remain premature.

Key members of Congress are demanding a swift war powers resolution vote to restrain President Trump's military strikes on Iran, which were launched jointly with Israel without formal congressional authorization. Bipartisan legislators in both chambers — including Democrats and a small number of Republicans — argue the action is unconstitutional, as the Constitution grants Congress the power to declare war. Most Republican leaders, however, have backed Trump's decision, citing Iran's nuclear program and missile capabilities as justification. Even if a war powers resolution passed the narrowly divided Congress, it would likely be vetoed by Trump, making any such vote largely symbolic but still significant as a public record.
“The President has unilaterally launched a war of choice against Iran without congressional authorization that is putting the lives of American troops on the line and risking a dangerous and costly regional conflict in the Middle East," Goodlander said, adding she is monitoring this situation.
