This week, Anthropic delivered a master class in arrogance and betrayal as well as a textbook case of how not to do business with the United States Government or the Pentagon.
Our position has never wavered and will never waver: the Department of War must have full, unrestricted access to Anthropic’s models for every LAWFUL purpose in defense of the Republic.
Instead, @AnthropicAI and its CEO @DarioAmodei, have chosen duplicity. Cloaked in the sanctimonious rhetoric of “effective altruism,” they have attempted to strong-arm the United States military into submission - a cowardly act of corporate virtue-signaling that places Silicon Valley ideology above American lives.
The Terms of Service of Anthropic’s defective altruism will never outweigh the safety, the readiness, or the lives of American troops on the battlefield.
Their true objective is unmistakable: to seize veto power over the operational decisions of the United States military. That is unacceptable.
As President Trump stated on Truth Social, the Commander-in-Chief and the American people alone will determine the destiny of our armed forces, not unelected tech executives.
Anthropic’s stance is fundamentally incompatible with American principles. Their relationship with the United States Armed Forces and the Federal Government has therefore been permanently altered.
In conjunction with the President's directive for the Federal Government to cease all use of Anthropic's technology, I am directing the Department of War to designate Anthropic a Supply-Chain Risk to National Security. Effective immediately, no contractor, supplier, or partner that does business with the United States military may conduct any commercial activity with Anthropic. Anthropic will continue to provide the Department of War its services for a period of no more than six months to allow for a seamless transition to a better and more patriotic service.
America’s warfighters will never be held hostage by the ideological whims of Big Tech. This decision is final.
The Department of the Air Force is updating personnel systems to align with @DeptofWar's standardized Religious Affiliation Codes.

The hammer of justice has smashed @AnthropicAI arguments. They are a Supply Chain Risk to the defense industrial base serving the @DeptofWar. Warfighters will sleep better knowing that no private company will insert their opinions in the chain of command. @SecWar was right!
A truly incredible evening at the White House for a historic State Dinner.
As a veteran of over 20 years in 2 services, what an honor to be with the top 3 levels of the chain of command…. The Commander in Chief, Secretary of War, and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. There’s never been a more transformative time in military strategy or tactics. The evolution of weaponry, the execution of complex military operations, and the massively improved morale during this era are awe-inspiring.
CCA are now in the hands of Airmen at Creech AFB! @anduriltech Fury & @generalatomics Vengeance deliveries prove we can move fast and deliver cost-effective combat power. @aircombatcmd
The Secretary of the Navy and the Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) officially established the Robotic and Autonomous Systems Warfighting Development Center (RASWDC) today, marking a critical milestone in accelerating the development, operational integration, and employment of robotic and autonomous systems (RAS) across the maritime domain.

Another dedicated @USArmy Soldier is back on Active Duty.
Last week, CPT Christian Reattoir officially returned to service following his unjust discharge in June 2022 under the COVID-19 vaccine mandate. Thanks to the decisive leadership of @POTUS, @SecWar, and @SecArmy, CPT Reattoir has been fully reinstated with complete relief, including backpay, constructive service credit, and his backdated promotion to Captain.
For other personnel seeking a similar path back to service, reinstatement remains open until April 1, 2027.
