President Trump's pick for Surgeon General and a MAHA favorite, Dr. Casey Means, was grilled by the Senate Health Committee today.

Means is an outspoken critic of the medication-first health model and recently published a book about lifestyle interventions.

She's also supported parents' rights to choose which vaccines their children receive.

Here's Means defending parents' rights to pass on the hepatitis B vaccine typically given shortly after birth.

The Cuban government says several people are dead and more are injured following an exchange of gunfire off its northern coast.

A speedboat from Florida entered Cuba's territorial waters on Tuesday.

When a Cuban government ship approached it, those on board the speedboat opened fire and wounded the Cuban ship's commanding officer.

Authorities apparently fired back, killing four and wounding six.

U.S.

officials have confirmed that the speedboat was a civilian vessel and not part of the military.

War Secretary Pete Hexeth reportedly threatened Anthropic this week after the AI company tried to set limits on military use of its model.

Daily Wire reporter Tim Pierce has more.

Anthropic is the first AI company to receive entry to the military's classified systems, and its AI model, QuadGov, has been integrated for military use.

According to the New York Times, Anthropic leadership has told the Pentagon that its model cannot be used to surveil Americans, nor in autonomous weapons without human oversight.

Hegseth told Anthropic's chief executive in a Tuesday meeting that the law should be the only limit on military conduct.

Hegseth has given Anthropic until the close of business on Friday to assent to the Pentagon's demands.

If not, Hegseth threatened to invoke the Defense Production Act, which would allow the military to use Claude Gove for free.

It would also put Anthropic's government contracts at risk.
