Over the weekend: Musk, Zuckerberg, and Sacks killed Trump’s draft AI safety executive order in three Wednesday-night phone calls. Anthropic closed a $30B+ round the same Saturday — while Microsoft quietly cancelled its internal Claude Code pilot after token billing ate the entire annual AI budget, redirecting developers to Copilot. CISA logged 15,000 attacks on a same-week Drupal SQL flaw. The first cross-registry supply chain attack — TrapDoor — hit npm, PyPI, and Crates.io at once, using .cursorrules and CLAUDE.md config files as the carrier. And the White House personally overrode the Pentagon to keep Claude inside the NSA.
