{beacon} Technology Technology   The Big Story Anthropic becomes impossible for White House to ignore Anthropic’s new Mythos model is keeping the company’s foot in the White House’s door despite the Trump administration blacklisting the firm’s products from military and government work earlier this year. © Prakash Singh, Bloomberg via Getty ImagesMythos, Anthropic’s most advanced model to date, has drawn interest from various parts of the federal government, giving the artificial intelligence firm a chance to smooth over its rocky relationship with the Trump administration. Less than two months ago, President Trump condemned Anthropic as an “out of control radical left” company, prompting uncertainty about the firm’s future in a Republican-led Washington. But in the two weeks since Anthropic unveiled Mythos, the White House has seemingly softened its tone on the company. Trump told CNBC’s “Squawk Box” on Tuesday the AI firm “tends to be on the left,” but “we get along with them.” “They’re very smart, and I think they can be of great use. I like smart people, I like high-IQ people and they definitely have high IQs,” he said. “I think we’ll get along with them just fine.” Days earlier, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei met with administration officials at the White House, including chief of staff Susie Wiles and reportedly Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, to discuss Mythos and other cybersecurity concerns. The White House had some “very good talks” with the company, Trump said, adding the firm is “shaping up.” The comments, combined with Anthropic’s recent meetings with the White House and other federal agencies, signal a potential reconciliation with the company even as it fights the government in court. “It really does feel like this is the government cutting off its nose to spite its face,” Jessica Tillipman, the associate dean for government procurement law studies at the George Washington University Law School, told The Hill.

The letter, led by the Blockchain Association and Crypto Council for Innovation, urged senators to "swiftly move forward" with consideration of the measure. Often referred to as market structure legislation, the bill seeks to split up oversight of the crypto market between two regulators — the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). While the crypto groups acknowledged efforts by the regulators to clarify rules for the industry, they argued that "agency action alone is not a durable solution." "The United States cannot risk a return to the previous era of regulation by enforcement, which perpetuated uncertainty for both builders and market participants," they wrote in Thursday's letter to Senate Banking Chair Tim Scott (R-S.C.) and Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.). The letter was also addressed to the top Republican and Democrat on the Senate Banking digital assets subcommittee, Sens. Cynthia Lummis (R-Wyo.) and Ruben Gallego (D-Ariz.). "Market structure legislation would prevent that uncertainty by establishing clear jurisdictional boundaries, clear disclosure regimes, and fit-for-purpose rules that reflect the unique characteristics of digital assets and protect Americans," they added.  Crypto Corner is a daily feature focused on digital currency and its outlook in Washington.  In Other News Branch out with other reads on The Hill: JetBlue accused of using personal data to set ticket prices in new lawsuit JetBlue Airways is facing a proposed class action lawsuit alleging the airline collects passengers’ personal data and uses it to set airfares, a practice described as “dynamic surveillance pricing.” Full Story   Op-eds in The Hill Opinions related to tech submitted to The Hill: A grandmother lost everything because a cop trusted AI    You're all caught up.

Sarah Huckabee Sanders accuses Tucker Carlson of spreading misinformation Added: Apr 23, 2026
Carlson’s ‘misinformation’ campaign ‘dangerous’: Sarah Huckabee Sanders

Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders (R) on Thursday accused conservative media personality Tucker Carlson of engaging with a “dangerous” campaign of “misinformation” after …
Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders (R) on Thursday accused conservative media personality Tucker Carlson of engaging with a "dangerous" campaign of "misinformation" after recently saying he regrets supporting President Trump. Sanders told CNBC's Andrew Ross Sorkin on "Squawk Box" that though she could not speak for Carlson about his comments, what he has said is "simply not based in fact." "I don't know what the shift brought to him, but the things that he is saying, the type of misinformation that he's putting out on a daily basis, are not only wrong, but frankly they're dangerous, and I hope that he'll have another about-shift at some point and start talking with real facts and stop misleading people around the country," she told Sorkin. Carlson had been a prominent Trump supporter since the president's first campaign in 2016. But on "The Tucker Carlson Show" on Monday, Carlson expressed regret and apologized for backing Trump. "So I do think it’s like a moment to wrestle with our own consciences. You know, we’ll be tormented by it for a long time," he said while speaking with his brother, Buckley Carlson. "I will be. And I want to say, I’m sorry for misleading people, and it was not intentional. That’s all I’ll say." Carlson's criticism of the Trump administration widened after the U.S.-Israeli conflict in Iran began. He backed Trump's "America First" isolationist policy that promised no more "forever wars" following the prolonged wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. The online host said he now believes that prominent people on the right who backed Trump ahead of the 2024 election are "implicated" in the developing conflicts in the Middle East. "You and I and everyone else who supported him –– you wrote speeches for him, I campaigned for him –– I mean, we’re implicated in this for sure," Carlson told his brother. "It’s not enough to say, 'Well, I changed my mind’ –– or like, 'Oh, this is bad –– I’m out.'" Carlson interviewed Sanders's father, U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee, in the days leading up to the start of war on Feb. 28. He pressed Huckabee on his remark that it would be "fine" if Israel took all of the Middle East as its own territory, suggesting the Bible gives the Jewish state that right. After Carlson protested that claim, Huckabee said Israel does not "want to take it over." Huckabee later suggested during the interview that the claim was a "hyperbolic statement." Huckabee later accused Carlson of being "offensive" in suggesting that Trump was taking cues from Israel on foreign policy. He referred back to his interview with Carlson while speaking with NewsNation's Leland Vittert on his show "On Balance." "Look, it doesn’t matter what Tucker Carlson thinks about me," the ambassador said. "It does matter what he thinks about President Trump and his administration, and President Trump’s leadership is the world leader and the head of both foreign policy and domestic policy."
