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."
The U.S. and Israel have launched a major attack on Iran. President Donald Trump called on the Iranian public to “seize control of your destiny” and rise up against the Islamic leadership that has ruled the nation since 1979. Some of the first strikes appeared to hit areas around the offices of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
The United States took military action in Iran, President Donald Trump announced on Feb. 28, following repeated threats from his administration to intervene due to violence against anti-government protesters and claims that the Iranian government has been rebuilding its nuclear program. Iran has since retaliated against numerous U.S. military facilities in the Middle East.
His message is to mobilize, to recognize that the wins we've already had aren't enough & that we must keep fighting.

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 White House stated that Secretary of State Marco Rubio briefed seven of the eight members of Congress known as the "Gang of Eight" before the U.S. and Israel conducted a military strike on Iran. The group, composed of key congressional leaders from both parties, was informed as part of standard protocol for imminent military actions. Following the strike, Iran announced counterattacks against Israel and U.S. military installations in the region.
The article reports that while many high-profile individuals worldwide have faced consequences for their association with Jeffrey Epstein, members of Donald Trump's inner circle have largely escaped accountability. Despite evidence of Trump's close relationship with Epstein, including social interactions and alleged misconduct, there have been no significant repercussions, unlike other public figures who have resigned or been penalized after their links to Epstein became known. The lack of investigation into Trump and his associates is attributed to congressional inaction, weakened federal oversight, and the protection of elites within the Trump administration.
President Donald Trump visited Texas to promote his energy and economic agenda ahead of the March 3 GOP Senate primary, but left the candidates uncertain about his endorsement. While he expressed support for incumbent Senator John Cornyn, he also acknowledged others in the race, including Rep. Wesley Hunt and Attorney General Ken Paxton. The race is expected to go to a runoff, with concerns about its impact on the upcoming midterm elections and key policy priorities such as energy dominance and immigration enforcement.
