AMNA NAWAZ: In the day's other headlines: AI giant Anthropic officially kicked off what could be one of the biggest initial public offerings ever.

The maker of the chatbot Claude will be looking to surpass SpaceX, which recently raised a record $86 billion.

In paperwork filed today, Anthropic said its revenue jumped in the first half of the year, but the company also revealed massive losses.

And its IPO comes amid broader questions about the AI boom and the potential threat posed by the industry.

Anthropic is expected to go public in mid-November.

It plans to list on the Nasdaq under the ticker symbol ANT.

In the Southwest, flood warnings remained in place today in parts of the Four Corners region after days of extreme rainfall swamped areas along the San Juan River.

The flood zone spans the meeting points of Utah, Colorado, Arizona, and New Mexico, where one person was swept away and killed.

As rivers recede and neighborhoods begin to clean up, New Mexico's governor warns the area is still in a rescue and recovery phase.

GOV.

MICHELLE LUJAN GRISHAM (D-NM): It feels, with lovely sunny day and water recedes quickly because we're so dry, it moves, that it feels like everything is done.

Everything is not done.

AMNA NAWAZ: Some residents have not been able to return to their homes and public health officials are assessing whether the floodwaters could be contaminated with raw sewage and chemicals.

At least two Catholic bishops have now expressed regret for taking part in a White House meeting that was later made public.

An administration official shared this video on social media showing a dozen bishops praying with President Trump behind the Resolute Desk last week.

Milwaukee's archbishop later said the event was -- quote -- "manipulated" and was in no way an endorsement of the president.

And the bishop of Des Moines wrote today -- quote -- "I wish I had been more shrewd and less simple, like those who exploited our meeting for partisan political purposes.

I pray I am more prudent and wise going forward."

In New York, a federal judge ruled today that the Trump administration acted illegally when it fired Maurene Comey, daughter of former FBI Director James Comey.

In his ruling, the judge found that her dismissal as a federal prosecutor violated the separation of powers and her right to due process.

Comey had handled the prosecutions of Jeffrey Epstein and Sean Combs, among others.

After her firing last year, Comey sued the Justice Department, saying it was because of her assumed political beliefs and who her father is.

The judge today ordered her to be reinstated with back pay.

And, this evening, we're learning that the DOJ has filed new charges against James Comey.

According to a court document obtained by the "News Hour," these relate to the alleged disclosure of national defense information dating back to 2016.

Comey has already moved to dismiss the case, saying on social media that he is still innocent.

Press freedom advocates sued the Trump administration today over its attempt to ban three media outlets from covering the White House.

The lawsuit was filed on behalf of six plaintiffs, including a Yale history professor, a high school civics teacher, and a student journalist at the University of Pennsylvania.

They argue that: "With such a ban quote it isn't just the press that suffers.

The public loses access to independent reporting and gets something closer to government propaganda."

The White House dismissed the suit, saying that the outlets can report from directly outside the building.

On Wall Street today, stocks managed some decent gains to start the week.

The Dow Jones industrial average added nearly 150 points.

The Nasdaq rose more than 200 points.

The S&P 500 also ended firmly in positive territory.

And we have two passings to report this evening, starting with Emmy Award-winning voice actor Eric Bauza.

ERIC BAUZA, Actor: I'm the new voice of Bugs Bunny.

What's up, Doc?

AMNA NAWAZ: Bauza was best known for voicing Bugs Bunny and many other beloved Looney Tunes characters.

He was also the first person of color to voice Bugs.

Born in Canada, Bauza went on to log more than 400 acting credits across TV and film during his 25-year career.

Recently, he helped to get "Coyote vs.

Acme" into theaters after it was initially shelved by the studio.

The movie went on to make over $100 million worldwide.

L.A.

County officials say Bauza died from a form of heart disease at his home.

Eric Bauza was 46 years old.

And actor Walter Koenig of "Star Trek" fame has died.

WALTER KOENIG, Actor: Captain, the alien ship has changed course and speed, moving directly toward us at warp eight.

AMNA NAWAZ: The Chicago-born Koenig played Russian navigator Pavel Chekov, the sole communist bloc member on the USS Enterprise.

With his youthful looks, heavy Russian accent, and friendly demeanor, Koenig's character helped viewers of the era look past their Cold War present to a more unified future.

He went on to write books about the series and appeared in shows like "Babylon 5."

Koenig's agent says he died from natural causes at his Los Angeles home yesterday.

Walter Koenig was 90 years old.
