President Donald Trump lashed out at the artificial intelligence company Anthropic on Friday, slamming them for refusing to change their safeguard rules against automated use of weapons for the Defense Department, claiming they want to force generals to "obey their Terms of Service instead of our Constitution," and ordering the government to phase out any contracts they have to use the company's "Leftwing nut job" Claude AI model.

The outburst triggered an immediate reaction from elected officials and analysts on social media.

CNN President Mark Thompson is urging staff not to “jump to conclusions” after news broke that parent company Warner Bros. Discovery will likely be acquired by Paramount Skydance in a blockbuster deal that has left many at the cable news network “panicked.”

Crockett, a second-term congresswoman, is locked in a tight race against state Rep. James Talarico, who has built a sizeable following online.

President Donald Trump lashed out at the Supreme Court again on Friday, questioning whether a “Rehearing or Readjudication” is possible after the justices dealt a devastating blow to his tariff agenda one week ago.

In a lengthy post on Truth Social, Trump claimed the ruling “could allow for Hundreds of Billions of Dollars to be returned to Countries and Companies that have been ‘ripping off’ the United States of America for many years."

The order, first reported on Thursday, uses as justification for the seizure a claim that China interfered in the 2020 presidential election. No evidence has ever emerged in the dozens of lawsuits filed by Trump and his allies that the 2020 presidential election was rigged, fraudulent, or in any meaningful way affected by illegal voting — and legal experts already raised red flags without even having seen the order that there is no power under the Constitution for a president to control voting practices.
