Comment by Elizabeth Warren
U.S. Senator (D-MA)
I am particularly concerned that the DoD is trying to strong-arm American companies into providing the Department with the tools to spy on American citizens and deploy fully autonomous weapons without adequate safeguards. The barring of Anthropic appears to be retaliation.

Quote attributed to U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), from her March 2026 press release / letter to Sec. Hegseth opening an investigation into the Pentagon's designation of Anthropic. The source_url (warren.senate.gov) returned HTTP 403 to direct WebFetch, but a web search confirmed the quote verbatim on that exact release and corroborating coverage (TechCrunch, CNBC, Washington Examiner, etc.): "I am particularly concerned that the DoD is trying to strong-arm American companies into providing the Department with the tools to spy on American citizens and deploy fully autonomous weapons without adequate safeguards. The barring of Anthropic appears to be retaliation." Attribution correct, year 2026, relevant. Vote "for" on statement 186 (ban autonomous lethal weapons) is directionally aligned: Warren is defending Anthropic's contractual redline preventing AI use for "fully autonomous weapon systems" and criticizing their deployment without safeguards. Minor nuance: her phrasing ("without adequate safeguards") frames concern around guardrails rather than an explicit blanket ban, but her position clearly favors restricting autonomous lethal weapons.
