Anthropic on Monday said it filed plans for an initial public offering, setting it up for a share sale that could value the company in the trillion-dollar range as it races against rival OpenAI. The company has yet to determine how many shares it will sell or at what price. But the confidential registration statement to the Securities and Exchange Commission paves the way “for a proposed initial public offering of our common stock,” Anthropic said. Anthropic is one of three highly anticipated AI IPOs expected this year, along with OpenAI and SpaceX — allowing retail investors to get in on some of the most valuable AI startups and giving early investors the chance for multi-billion-dollar paydays.

GOP Rep. Tom Kean is running unopposed in his primary on Tuesday, seeking a third term in one of the nation’s most competitive seats. But voters haven’t seen or heard directly from Kean in months — and it’s still unclear when he might return to work on Capitol Hill. Kean has yet to offer a date for his return to House Speaker Mike Johnson and his team, who have been navigating their reed-thin margins without him since early March, according to three GOP leadership sources. The New Jersey congressman said in late April on social media that he’s dealing with a “personal medical issue,” without specifying what it is, and said he would be back “very soon.” Late last month, he told The New Jersey Globe that he’d be back in the “next couple of weeks.”

After the White House Correspondents’ Dinner several years ago, a congressman asked a young female staffer from another office to have a threesome. A few months later, he pulled the staffer onto his lap and tried to kiss her. In 2023, a male chief of staff messaged a former congressional intern looking for a job and propositioned her sexually, writing that he would “own” her and offering to Venmo her money if she complied. A member of Congress texted a senior leadership staffer in 2017 asking the color of her underwear while she was in his sight line.
Russia launched a large-scale deadly attack on the Ukrainian capital Kyiv early Tuesday, damaging residential buildings, authorities said, as part of a broad offensive on targets across Ukraine. At least 17 people were killed in the overnight assault that Ukraine’s military said involved more than 600 drones and dozens of missiles, including advanced hypersonics. Six people were killed in Kyiv and 11 in the central city of Dnipro, including two children, according to Ukrainian officials. More than 100 people were wounded across the country. Five medical facilities were damaged or destroyed, the Ukrainian health ministry said Tuesday.
