A judge in a California court is ruled that the Pentagon cannot designate the AI company Anthropics as a supply chain risk.
“His MPR's Jeff Rumfeld reports the ruling came over the use of artificial intelligence”
in warfare. In her 59-page ruling district judge Rita Lynn said that the Pentagon violated Anthropics' first amendment rights to indesignate the company "a supply chain risk." The government argued that Anthropics' technology could threaten national security but
Judge Lynn said they never produced the proof.
Rather, she said the Pentagon tried to use the designation to "make a public example out of Anthropics." The fight began after Anthropics tried to put limits on its technology. It demanded the Pentagon not used it to AI tools for fully autonomous weapons or the mass surveillance of Americans.
Jeff Brumfield and PR News. A group of pro-Palestinian protesters who vandalized one of President Trump's Gulf Resort in Scotland faces being sentenced to his terrorist. And PR's Fatima Al-Kasat reports that human rights groups have criticized increasing attempts in Britain to bring terrorism charges against protesters.
“The seven activists broke into Trump's luxury, tan-brie golf course on the West Coast”
of Scotland back in March 2025, digging up the turf and painting it with the words, "Garza is not for sale." The protesters were from the group Palestine action, which targets Israeli weapons factories around the UK. The British government soon after labelled Palestine Action a terrorist organization, leading
to the arrests of thousands of supporters.
It was the first time Britain had used anti-terrorism powers against a group for property
damage, rather than violence against people. This week, the Trump administration also imposed sanctions on Palestine action and designated it a terrorist group as well, saying in a statement that the decision complements the ban in the UK, Fatima Al-Kasat and PR News London. Jury deliberations are now underway in the triple murder trial of Lindsey Clancy.
The Massachusetts mother was accused of murdering her three children in 2023. Deborah Becker of Member Station WBUR is covering the trial, she outlines what the jury is considering.
“There are a couple of options for the jury, which is made up of nine women in three”
men, those include conducting her a first-degree murder or finding her not guilty because of her mental health. Now to reach that verdict, they'd have to find she did not know right from wrong or that she could not obey the law. Now these so-called insanity defenses rarely succeed, but in this case, criminal defense
attorney say a jury might believe that the only reason a mother would do something like this is if she was mentally ill. Deliverations in the case will resume on Monday, rescuers on the border of Nepal and China using helicopters to pull flood survivors out of caked mud flash flooding Wednesday killed as many as 600 people and more than 2,400 others remain missing and rescue teams
have been put on alert for the possibility of more flooding. This is NPR News. An executive order by President Trump to limit male and balding before elections appears to be heading to the Supreme Court once again, the administration today appealed a federal judge's ruling that blocks the order from taking effect for two weeks.
The Supreme Court has allowed the administration to work on the plan, but it's not decided whether it's legal, the first ballots will be sent out just days from now. A federal appeals court has ruled against prediction market site Kalshi in a dispute over whether using the site should be considered gambling. His MPR's Bobby Allen reports the decision sets up a legal fight before the Supreme Court
over the future of the industry. Nevada officials have banned Kalshi, claiming it is an unlicensed gambling operator allowing illegal bets on sports elections, politics and the president's choice of words. Kalshi fought back, it argued the Trump administration has the exclusive right to regulate the booming prediction market sector.
Now the non-circuit of appeals in San Francisco has sided with Nevada. The court found that federal rules for so-called event contracts do not override state laws. The ruling creates a split with the third circuit which sided with Kalshi in a similar case.
Whether Kalshi and the multi-billion dollar prediction market sector is legal, it's expected
to be ultimately decided by the Supreme Court, Bobby Allen and P.R. News.
