Here’s the Preliminary Injunction Order. Essentially a total victory for Anthropic, but SCOTUS will certainly have the final say. https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.cand.46...

"Nothing in the governing statute supports the Orwellian notion that an American company may be branded a potential adversary and saboteur of the U.S. for expressing disagreement with the government." Well.. we live in Orwellian times.

Yes, more of this. (Direct, timely links to court dockets and documents on US Article III court cases.)

> In light of Anthropic’s showing on the merits, and the lack of evidence of harm to Defendants, the Court sets a nominal bond of $100. That must have been a bit of a goofy check to write.

I understand why Anthropic used the name “Department of War” in their public communication. They want to be friendly to the people who like that name. But what the heck is it doing in an official court document? That’s not the entity’s legal name. It would be like if I sued IBM and named them “Big Blue” in my suit.
