Text of footnote 1 of petition for review: At the same time it received the Notice, Anthropic received a letter from Secretary Hegseth providing notification that he had invoked the supply chain risk designation authority under 41 U.S.C. § 3252. Anthropic has challenged the Secretary’s reliance on that separate authority in federal district court, as that action is not subject to this Court’s direct review under 41 U.S.C. § 1327(b)(3). See also Anthropic PBC v. Dep’t of War, et al., No. 3:26-cv-01996 (N.D. Cal.).
Turns out Anthropic also filed a separate petition for review in the D.C. Circuit over the Pentagon's supply chain risk designation.
The reason for the two actions is that the Trump administration is relying on two separate statutes, one of which may only be reviewed in Washington.
Here's the complaint in Anthropic v. Department of War, which raises claims under the First Amendment and federal law:
"The Constitution does not allow the government to wield its enormous power to punish a company for its protected speech."

Screenshot: "Correction at 9:58 a.m. on 3/09/2016: Due to an oversight involving a haphazardly-installed Chrome extension during the editing process, the name Donald Trump was erroneously replaced with the phrase "Someone With Tiny Hands" when this story was originally published.
Happy 10-year anniversary to this newspaper correction, one of the greatest of all time:
kill the imposter syndrome in you head because not only is there someone out there doing it worse than you, they're also using chat gpt to do it
Anyways.
Judge Royce Lambert in Washington rules that Kari Lake’s appointment violates both the Constitution and federal law, and that all her actions as acting head of the U.S. Agency for Global Media—including attempted firings—are invalid and cannot be ratified.

Trump judge Justin Walker, whom I’ve profiled, includes a lengthy footnote in dissent assuring us that judges like him aren’t hacks.
Many people are saying this.
Thanks. I can’t afford a stylist, but I do know how to strangle myself softly with a turtleneck.
Well, gas is expensive, and food is expensive, and we’re doing a war nobody wants, but at least there are no jobs

This is a chilling crime. A shame on our country. The Iranian ship was unarmed. The US knew this. The sailors were murdered by our navy, and the survivors were left to die at sea.

That’s from their Metro section. One of the best in the paper.
THIS.
I wish my clients were given even the tiniest amount of this kind of grace and compassion.
You should be able to criticize your government anonymously online.
Full stop.
"Age verification" legislation is just a pretty name for "forced online ID checks," meaning everything you post is associated with your government name
We have to stop this.

Screenshot from New York Today newsletter by The New York Times, with a highlighted quote: “For Donald Trump and his felony convictions, what I will say is he and his case illustrate very clearly in today’s times the two tiers of justice,” she said. “The people that we serve are not able to be out typically on bail if they are facing 34 felonies” — and probably would not have been freed after they were found guilty. Trump was convicted in 2024 in Manhattan on 34 counts of falsifying records to cover up hush money paid to the porn star Stormy Daniels. “The message, I think, of Donald Trump is our clients would like to experience the same criminal legal system that he got to experience,” Carter said.
I love how public defenders talk about the president of the United States vis-à-vis the casual cruelties their clients experience every day:

Yeah, this clip will certainly be shown as evidence at the trials.
They wrote up a report and let me go. I don’t remember if they said thank you.
But I felt the devices in my pocket during argument, which thankfully didn’t go off, and showed them to other reporters sitting next to me, who were as shocked as I was.
Dear reader: I did not snap a selfie.
Way back when, when I was a beat reporter, I inadvertently snuck not one, but two electronic devices into the courtroom of the Supreme Court of the United States, in which electronic devices are banned for everyone.
I turned myself in, largely to notify security that their security may be broken.
Besides publishing the guide, have you written this up? And what rule did you break other than annoying the librarian and the reporter of decisions?
I am banned from the library of the Supreme Court of the United States.
That’s the matcha intolerance emoji.
🤢 is the original matcha face emoji, but many people, including some matcha drinkers, aren’t willing to accept it.
Sorry if this offends.
A man with the government has been at the last two hearings relating to the contempt claim. Both times, he sat in the section of the courtroom open only to parties and counsel. Although not at counsel’s table, Littman and Jean Lin, the other Justice Department lawyer present at both hearings, has repeatedly consulted with him during both hearings. After today’s hearing — and after not being able to figure out for myself who he was after the last hearing — I asked him who he was. I had my press pass visibly displayed and identified myself as a reporter. He said he didn’t want to do that. I suggested that he must be a government official or employee, sitting where he was, and, if so, I asked incredulously if he really was not going to tell a reporter at a hearing who he was. He said no. Then, the people leaving — myself included — got to the elevator. Littman, Lin, mystery man, and two other people sitting with mystery man on the government side of the courtroom during the hearing on Wednesday were getting into the elevator. Some of them were already in the elevator. When I stepped in, mystery man said he would wait for the next elevator. Everyone else then got out of the elevator. Left in the elevator alone, I looked at these five adults — all of whom I believe have to be government employees, hence, paid by the public and allegedly working for the public — and was some combination of bemused and appalled. “You are all ridiculous,” I simply said. The door closed.
And, the story of the mystery man.

Indeed, Latino white supremacist adjacency is a sin as old as … an entire continent living and suffering under colonial rule for centuries.
It would be cool to have a legislature that acted to defend its own constitutional prerogatives and, maybe as a treat, the interests of the people it represents too.
This is the same solicitor general who had his head down and looked embarrassed while the president was calling the justices names after the tariffs went down.
By now, he has only himself to blame.
