Happy Tuesday! 
Here’s your Tuesday Tech Drop, some of the past week’s top stories from the intersection of politics and technology. 
Hackers attack Trump with Army websites 
Two Army websites were taken down after the military was notified that hackers had gained control of the sites, which they used for political messages. 
Among the messages were an expletive-garnished attack on President Donald Trump and Tom Barrack, the scandal-plagued U.S. ambassador to Turkey, as well as one that read “Free Kurdistan.” 
The Army told CyberScoop that the pages were “hosted on a legacy third-party platform that is not connected to the Army’s enterprise network and have since been removed.”

SCOTUS OKs age verification in Texas 
The Supreme Court has given Texas the go-ahead to enforce its law requiring digital apps to employ age verification tools. 
My colleague Jordan Rubin wrote about the court decision to side with Texas in an emergency case over a law that critics said will require citizens “to prove their age before reading a newspaper, entering a bookstore, or even accessing the internet.”

OpenAI’s socialist offer 
OpenAI reportedly proposed giving the federal government a 5% stake in the tech company as it looks to ease regulatory pressure. 
Noteworthy here is that OpenAI has previously announced a partnership with Nvidia, one of several tech companies that Trump has invested in, according to financial disclosure forms.

Hawking Dell at the White House 
My colleague Steve Benen wrote about Trump promoting purchases of Dell computers during a White House photo op, underscoring how he is brazenly using the presidency to boost companies in which he owns stock. 
Trump touts dropped crypto investigations 
At the same White House event, Trump patted himself on the back for his administration’s successful scuttling of investigations and prosecutions targeting cryptocurrency investors. 
The president’s billion-dollar crypto ventures have recently come under closer scrutiny amid his latest financial disclosures. 
"Every time I see a crypto guy where they dropped an investigation, I said, ‘You’re lucky I’m president,’” Trump said. 
Judge blocks Musk’s request 
On Monday, a federal judge in San Francisco denied Elon Musk’s bid to void a jury verdict that found he defrauded Twitter investors by trying to drive down the stock price during his $44 billion takeover in 2022.

Workday AI suit prompts warning 
A federal court recently denied HR company Workday’s request to toss a lawsuit filed on behalf of people who alleged that the company’s artificial intelligence tools, which are used by employers to help find job candidates, enabled discrimination. 
Workday has denied the claims of bias. 
Nonetheless, as Roy Maurer explained for the Society for Human Resource Management, the lawsuit is a reminder to companies that “organizations can no longer treat AI as a black-box technology managed solely by vendors.”

Energy chief targets data center critics 
Energy Secretary Chris Wright spoke at an Amazon conference last week and asked employees to help him “roll over” critics of data centers. 
I wrote about how the speech had him sounding like a supervillain.
