As major news outlets cut off the Wayback Machine, journalists and advocacy groups are rallying to protect the Internet Archive’s vast collection of web pages.

Sen Patty Murray:
I asked Director Patel to pass on my thanks for FBI's work stopping a crook who scammed Medicare out of $205 million. He obliged.

Snap's crucible moment
Mass layoffs land tomorrow, the Perplexity deal is dead, and Specs are launching soon. Also: OpenAI has a cyber model too, Apple can tell Elon what to do, and Anthropic expands its unusual board.
