Daniel Estrin
A draft 15 point ceasefire proposal as first reported reported by the New York Times and Israel's Channel 12, includes calls for Iran to commit to dismantle existing nuclear capabilities, end its support for militias in the Mideast and limit its missile program. NPR has not seen a copy of the proposal. A person briefed on it told NPR a summary published by Israeli Channel 12 reflected an early version of the proposal and said there have been changes made since then, though it wasn't clear what those changes were. The person requested anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly. Israel says it launched new attacks on Iranian government infrastructure. Iran launched more missiles at Israel, one striking near a major power plant. Israel's electric company says it caused no major infrastructure damage. Daniel Estrin, NPR News, Tel Aviv.

Congressional Democrats have refused to fund DHS without implementing restraints on immigration enforcement after federal agents killed two US Citizens earlier this year. Republicans and Democrats have been trading offers back and forth with little progress. President Trump acknowledged the ongoing negotiations without much optimism.

A federal judge is casting doubt on the federal government's ban of the artificial intelligence company Anthropic. NPR's John Ruich reports on the legal battle over the Pentagon's designation of the AI company as a supply chain risk.

John Ruich
Judge Rita F. Lynn of the U.S. district Court for Northern California says the government's ban on Anthropic looks like punishment attempt to cripple the company. Anthropic sued the Pentagon after it labeled the company a supply chain risk amid a contract disagreement over how the company's AI model, Claude, can be used. Anthropic does not want its AI used in autonomous weapons or for mass surveillance of US Citizens. The Pentagon argues it's not up to companies to decide how the military uses their products. President Trump has also ordered all government agencies to stop using Claude. Anthropic asked for a preliminary injunction against the government action. Judge Lean heard arguments from both sides in court in San Francisco and said she expects to make a ruling in the next few days. John Ruich, NPR News.

The U.S. supreme Court heard arguments yesterday on the Trump administration's push to prevent migrants from seeking asylum in the U.S. the Justice Department wants to reinstate what's known as a metering policy. This blocks migrants at the Mexico border before they cross into the U.S. federal law allows migrants who arrive in the U.S. or are physically present to apply for asylum. Former President Barack Obama first introduced the metering policy in 2016. The Trump administration expanded the practice, but it was then rescinded during former President Joe Biden's term.

Since private astronaut and wealthy entrepreneur Jared Isaacman became NASA's administrator a few months ago, he's been shaking up its Artemis moon program.
