President Donald Trump's administration is quietly weighing a fresh concession to Moscow, one the Kremlin has pushed hard behind closed doors.
The Securities and Exchange Commissions publication on Monday of Anthropic's S-1 form -- ahead of a heavily anticipated initial public offering -- has led to plenty of discussion of whether the company's quickly ballooning revenues will be able to overcome its even higher costs. ... After wading through Anthropic's book-length treatise on its greatest risks, we've narrowed the list to the seven most surprising, interesting, or thought-provoking potential problems.

A federal judge criticized prosecutors for failing to get proper judicial approval before publicly filing a new criminal complaint against two ex-FBI officials accused of lying to Congress about the government's probes of Hunter Biden.
