This is from Hegseth's post. I'm no expert in this authority but am I understanding correctly this would mean that any company which has ANY contract with the U.S. military (Google, Microsoft, etc...) is now required to immediately cancel their Claude subscriptions and must divest from Anthropic?
In conjunction with the President's directive for the Federal Government to cease all use of Anthropic's technology, I am directing the Department of War to designate Anthropic a Supply-Chain Risk to National Security. Effective immediately, no contractor, supplier, or partner that does business with the United States military may conduct any commercial activity with Anthropic. Anthropic will continue to provide the Department of War its services for a period of no more than six months to allow for a seamless transition to a better and more patriotic service.

INBOX @dropsitenews.com hasn't posted it here (I still don't understand why they insist on hanging around Twitter), but this looks to be part of an incredibly based foreign policy platform for #IL09 candidate @katmabu.bsky.social:
Drop Site
@DropSiteNews

⭕️ LEAKED Email: Kat Abughazeleh “firmly an interventionist,” foreign policy adviser says

Kat Abughazaleh, a socialist Democratic candidate in Illinois’ 9th District and one of the only Palestinian-Americans seeking office in 2026, was described by her national security adviser as “firmly an interventionist” who “won’t stop until Russia is made to pay for its crimes,” in written responses detailing her foreign policy vision, obtained by Drop Site.

Ben Mermel wrote in an email to a Washington-based progressive foreign policy activist that Abughazaleh believes “the world is better off when America takes a leading role” and that the U.S. has “an obligation to support pro-democracy movements around the world, from Iran to Venezuela.” He added that “Kat wholly supports the National Endowment for Democracy, as well as its affiliated organizations (NDI, IRI, and the AFL-CIO’s Solidarity Center),” and said Congress should expand tools “from sanctions to NGO support” to advance those efforts without always resorting to “kinetic force.”

Next time someone hypes the potential climate benefits of LLMs, maybe think about how they enabled mass fabrication of "public" comments that killed an important climate policy. Just one harmful application of software that can quickly generate lots of truthy-sounding bullshit.
