The ranking members of the House Judiciary and Oversight Committees have written a letter to President Trump asking whether he has been soliciting advice from Grok in order to help carry out his official duties as President of the United States.
They also demanded that he preserve any prompts sent to Grok, ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity, as well as outputs in response to those prompts, that were 'submitted to AI chatbots in carrying out your constitutional, statutory, or other official or ceremonial duties.'
The letter was provided by Politico.

Did you know there’s a pink tax in youth sports?
The Women’s Sports Foundation found that median annual sports spending is $500 for girls vs. $400 for boys. Meaning it's 25% more expensive for girls to play sports.
Even worse: Girls from lower-income households are more than twice as likely to say high costs keep them from playing sports.
Girls shouldn’t have to pay more for the chance to play.

“Once discovery gets cheap, the hard part is clinical trials and patient data”
Couldn’t agree more, and that’s where the bottleneck is about to be. We’re about to see an explosion of novel drug ideas, but without understanding patient biology and how to direct these drugs to the right patient subsets, we won’t materially increase the likelihood of success of clinical trials. That’s why @ChronicleBioAI is building the AI data platform to match the right drugs to the right people based on their observed biology, for every chronic illness.
fvcking amazing
anthropic bought mithril medicine, a biotech run by one person
the pattern behind it all:
- apr: anthropic buys a <10 person ai bio team for ~$400m
- jun: anthropic says it will run its own drug programs
- oct: openai buys orchestra bio
- oct: anthropic buys a biotech of one
what this means:
- the labs are buying how a team works, not a pipeline
- they're becoming drug developers
- once discovery gets cheap, the hard part is clinical trials and patient data
- that's where the next big startups get built

We've heard publishers' feedback on our proposed ads and business terms update. We care deeply about our partners and do not plan to make policy changes without a full consultation with industry groups and leaders.
We're committed to getting this right, and as we expect this consultation could extend beyond November 20, in which case we’d delay implementation of the updated terms. Until then our existing terms remain in place.
The crawling terms we consolidated only applies to our ads and business products, and we've now clarified that in the terms themselves. As we said, how Meta uses web crawlers isn’t changing, nor is how content owners can use robots.txt to signal preferences. These updates don't give us new rights to supersede such preferences and this isn’t about scraping news sites.
