Judge temporarily blocks Pentagon from labelling Anthropic a supply chain risk

A federal judge granted Anthropic a temporary injunction preventing the Pentagon from labeling the company a 'supply chain risk', shielding it from immediate reputational and procurement consequences. The order is temporary and preserves Anthropic's ability to compete for defense-related work while litigation continues; impacts are primarily legal/reputational and unlikely to be market-moving in the near term.
