In Washington
The White House was locked down Saturday evening after gunshots were reported nearby, with reporters rushed inside and the North Lawn cleared. Authorities said the Secret Service and FBI responded to the scene, and one suspect was hospitalized in critical condition. Details on whether anyone else was hit were still limited, which is a familiar and deeply unhelpful status for a situation like this.
In tech and security
Anthropic appears to be preparing its Mythos 1 model for Claude Code and Claude Security, based on new product references and interface strings. The company is also building a new security dashboard with vulnerability lists and short-term trend charts, while rumors continue that Claude Opus 4.8 is in internal testing with some partners.
Separately, the White House has ordered federal agencies to install its official app on government devices starting next week, drawing cybersecurity concerns from experts.
In business
A U.K. parliamentary trade committee is urging a full investigation into the live music market, saying Live Nation operates in a “climate of fear.” The committee wants the Competition and Markets Authority to step in and look at the broader industry.
In international news
The U.S. Embassy in Kyiv has warned of a possible major Russian air attack within 24 hours and told Americans in Ukraine to be ready to shelter immediately if air raid alerts sound. Meanwhile, Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado says she plans to run again and expects to return to Venezuela by the end of 2026.
President Trump also said the U.S. and Iran have “largely negotiated” a deal to end the war, with final details still being worked out. That is, to put it gently, the kind of sentence that tends to age in public.
