Cuba's national power grid collapsed hours after an interview with Raúl Guillermo Rodríguez Castro, prompting an investigation by the electrical workers' union. In healthcare, HHS reported $3.5 billion in fraud linked to 500 Los Angeles County hospices billing for nonexistent patients, representing 18% of national hospice billing.
Meanwhile, Anthropic announced a preclinical drug-discovery initiative targeting rare diseases, potentially positioning itself against traditional pharmaceutical companies.
