The DOD's excuse for its ultimatum—Anthropic's ban on the massive surveillance of Americans—is disturbing to the core. Either it's a pretext to attack Anthropic, or an unprecedented assault of our civil liberties. Both are horrifying & demand hearings.

President Trump calls Anthropic a “radical left, woke company” and says he is directing every federal agency in the US to stop using its products

The Trump administration has decided to blacklist Anthropic in the most consequential and controversial policy decision to date …

Anthropic

Dario Amodei says Anthropic cannot “in good conscience” accede to DOD's request to remove safeguards and will work to ensure a smooth transition if offboarded

I believe deeply in the existential importance of using AI to defend the United States and other democracies, and to defeat our autocratic adversaries.

Meta & others in Big Tech will not change until their CEOs are forced to testify & face a jury for their dangerous & defective products. Zuckerberg's testimony on Instagram's harm to kids will be a milestone in efforts to reign in Big Tech. https://www.cnn.com/...

Social media addiction trial: Mark Zuckerberg says increasing engagement on Instagram is not a company goal and that Meta removes underage users it identifies

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg pushed back against the notion that the social media company made increasing time spent on Instagram a company goal.

Make no mistake: Trump is working for Mark Zuckerberg—not you. The President's AI agenda is raising your electrical bills, supercharging China's tech sector, putting predatory chatbots in your child's hands & risking an AI bubble. Big Tech owns this White House, literally.

Draft executive order: President Trump plans to grant the US government sole power to regulate AI and create an “AI Litigation Task Force” overseen by the US AG

Trump is launching an all-out broadside against states with strict AI regulations

Trump is once again weaponizing the White House on behalf of Big Tech. This E.O. would punish & coerce states for commonsense AI safeguards against deepfakes, child sexual exploitation, & elections interference. The receipts for this unlawful & corrupt ploy are in Silicon Valley.

AI provisions in the Big, Ugly Betrayal bill will stop states from protecting against deepfakes, election interference&other harms while holding broadband expansion hostage. I'll fight these restrictions so states can safeguard residents from AI threats&close the digital divide. [video]

Arrogant&avaricious beyond words, crypto corruption in Trump's aspiring autocracy cries out for Congressional investigation. The public needs to know how Trump&his sycophants are brazenly, blatantly exploiting power&self-enriching. Trump's DOJ, SEC can't be counted on to stop it.

President Trump's World Liberty Financial says Abu Dhabi's MGX fund is investing $2B in Binance using World Liberty's USD1 stablecoin, raising ethical concerns

A deal for a state-backed Emirati firm to use a Trump-affiliated digital coin was announced in a panel that included the president's son …

No ordinary entrepreneur would even dream of this kind of crypto deal. Crypto may seem complex&confusing but this catastrophic abuse of power is very simple. It's undisguised greed. https://www.nytimes.com/...

We appreciate that this endorsement & revised text reflects their publicly stated goal of furthering free speech without fear of censorship. We reiterate X's call to pass KOSA by the end of the year—it is clear that this legislation has overwhelming support from Congress.

Linda Yaccarino says X worked with the authors of the Kids Online Safety Act to make changes to protect freedom of speech and urges the House to pass the bill

These changes should eliminate once&for all the false narrative that this bill would be weaponized by unelected bureaucrats to censor Americans. @MarshaBlackburn &I thank Elon&Linda for their commitment to protecting kids online&for helping get this bill across the finish line.
