Tech industry groups representing hundreds of companies are urging a court to pause the Pentagon's blacklisting of Anthropic. Why it matters: The Pentagon didn't just stop doing business with Anthropic — it labeled the company a supply chain risk, a move industry says could chill innovation and reshape how the government treats AI vendors. Driving the news: Major tech industry groups representing companies with Pentagon contracts filed an amicus brief calling for a pause on the designation. - "The government has ample, well-established tools to resolve procurement disputes and to contract with providers on whatever terms it prefers," the March 13 court filing states. - What they can't do, the filing says, is "misuse extraordinary…

A federal judge on Monday blocked Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. from carrying out vaccine policy changes recommended by his handpicked advisory committee, including a dramatic overhaul of the childhood vaccination schedule.
