- Gunman opened fire at the White House Correspondents’ dinner Saturday night; Trump unhurt. 31-year-old Cole Tomas Allen from California; AG Blanche says writings show he was targeting administration figures, possibly the president.

- Claude Design ships alongside Opus 4.7. Generates prototypes, slides, one-pagers in-flow with Claude. Adjacent to the work you do; worth ten minutes to see if it eats any of your slide-deck overhead. Anthropic
