AXIOS (Josephine Walker) - Moderate Crowley narrowly beats democratic socialist Hong in Wisconsin
Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley narrowly defeated state Rep. Francesca Hong , a democratic socialist , in Tuesday's Wisconsin Democratic primary for governor, the Associated Press reports.

AXIOS (Simon Hernandez-Arthur) - Anthropic's text watermarks signal new front in AI detection
Anthropic's new models will add machine-readable "watermarks" to Claude-generated text and files to comply with new European Union transparency regulations. Why it matters: Comms teams using Claude to simply clean up, translate, or format human-drafted press releases could stamp those documents with an AI signature. How it works: For models launched in the EU after Aug. 2, Anthropic is marking content in two ways, "wherever Claude is offered, worldwide." - Text watermarks: Claude embeds patterns into the generated text that Anthropic claims are "imperceptible." - File metadata: Generated media files carry digital signatures confirming the asset was processed by Claude.

AXIOS (Mike Zapler) - "Woke 1 was crazy": AOC seeks do-over on 2020-era rhetoric
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is trying to pull off a political feat for the ages: bury a chapter of left-wing politics that seemed like a good idea to many liberals at the time — but not so much anymore. Why it matters: The country's most prominent democratic socialist is essentially seeking a mulligan for candidates who embraced policies like defunding the police, saying candidates should be judged on their current platforms. - But that will be a tough sell with moderate Democrats, let alone Republicans, in competitive races outside of blue bastions. Driving the news: In an interview on ABC's "This Week" on Sunday, AOC was asked about some of the positions democratic socialists took around 2020. They were, she said, a product of the…
