The White House Plans to Reboot Collaboration with Anthropic, Allowing Agencies to Bypass Supply Chain Risk Assessment
According to monitoring from Dynamic Beating (via Telegram @OneMillion_AI), informed sources say the White House is drafting guidance that would let federal agencies skip supply chain risk checks linked to Anthropic and roll out new AI models—including Mythos. A draft executive order currently in the works could give the administration a way to ease tensions with the AI firm. One source characterized the White House’s push as “trying to save face while bringing them back into the fold.”
Earlier this month, White House Chief of Staff Wales and Treasury Secretary Bennett met with Anthropic CEO Dario. Both sides called the meeting a productive initial talk about how the company and administration can collaborate. The White House is gathering industry players this week to weigh in on potential executive orders and best practices for deploying the Mythos model.

Preview: Powell Takes the Stage Tonight, Fed Chair's Regular Public Q&A Session Could Become History
April 29:
The Federal Reserve will announce its April interest rate decision tonight at 2 a.m. Beijing time (April 30). CME’s FedWatch Tool puts the probability of no rate change at 100%.
Following the decision, Fed Chair Jerome Powell will hold his last formal press conference of his tenure—potentially marking the end of regular post-meeting Q&As for top Fed officials.
Supporters of regular Fed chair press conferences argue they let the central bank shape the narrative around rate moves and help markets absorb policy details. But critics, including Kevin Warsh—Trump’s pick to succeed Powell—call the Fed’s communication excessive. Warsh is expected to be confirmed before the Fed’s next policy meeting in mid-June, and he has hinted he may scrap regular press conferences entirely.
Powell launched post-meeting pressers in early 2019, less than a year into his term, saying he wanted to “summarize economic conditions in plain language” since monetary policy impacts everyone. Last

Another Crypto Project Shuts Down: Lending Protocol Tropykus Closes Current Version, Deposits and Borrowing Features Permanently Disabled
On April 29, Bitcoin lending protocol Tropykus announced it will begin a phased shutdown of its current version. Deposit and lending services will be permanently disabled, though users may still withdraw funds and repay outstanding loans. The process has a deadline of July 27, 2026—after which all related operations will only be supported via direct interaction with smart contracts.
In an official statement, the team cited long-term strategic considerations for the move. Faced with security risks from emerging tech like artificial intelligence, the existing architecture no longer meets long-term development needs. The team advises all users to withdraw their funds and close out their loan positions before the deadline.

Trump Orders Long-Term Blockade on Iran, Aims to Use Economic Means to Force Tehran's Nuclear Concession
April 29 — U.S. officials said President Trump has directed his aides to prepare for a long-term blockade of Iran, aimed at cutting off the regime’s funding sources and forcing Tehran to make nuclear concessions through aggressive measures.
In recent White House Situation Room discussions, Trump has opted to continue squeezing Iran’s economy and oil exports, maintaining blockades on ships entering and leaving Iranian ports. He has assessed that options like resuming airstrikes or withdrawing from the conflict carry higher risk than keeping the blockade in place.
