OA1285 - This week on Rapid Response Friday: regulators, mount up! We take a closer look at the actual documents provided to the Senate Judiciary Committee by Attorney General nominee Todd Blanche which convinced John Cornyn and Thom Tillis to change their votes, how deregulation caused a national cyclospora outbreak (and the legal response to it), and state efforts to stop the “prediction market” racket which the Commodity Futures Trading Commission has been all too happy to ignore. And in today’s footnote: three very different cases which prove why prediction markets shouldn’t be a thing at all.

Documents provided to the Senate Judiciary Committee by Attorney General nominee Todd Blanche on August 2, 2026

“Cyclospora is easy for doctors to miss. The US made it even harder to spot,” Dr. Robert B. Shipner, The Guardian (7/16/2026)

Complaint in Null v. Taylor Farms, filed 7/21/206

Complaint in New York v. Kalshiex LLC, filed 7/31/2026

36:08 "they can do what they can to soften the blow..." They've already done enough, thanks

Thank you Thomas! That question of who is betting on Kalshi *against* inside info needs investigation. I might place an occasional small stakes bet at a poker game or casino. But I can't imagine betting big money on what the next OA topic is going to be, particularly on a forum where I know Thomas/Matt/Lydia et at all can bet. Baffling bordering on suspicious.

well I can honestly say that I don't know what next month's OA Book Club selection will be, so let's get those bets going folks

Gmork

I made a couple bucks betting on Melissa Murray's book, so I'm gonna let it ride. I know it's long odds that they'll do the same book two months in a row, but if enough people bet against me, I can cut Matt in on the action.

Spotify appears to be gating my paid/adless content from OA and other podcasts I subscribed to. I pay good money to hear you guys nerd out about the Law, and it’s disappointing when it’s not delivered. Can someone look into this to see if their policy changed toward paid/curated content from Patreon?

Re cyclospora + Taylor Farms, a creator doing a really good/informative job communicating about that is FarmToTaber on YouTube. In fact, she talks a lot about farm politics - Thomas you might be interested in watching some of her videos which debunk misconceptions about farmers/rural politics - or even connecting with her and maybe doing an episode together (SIO? Or OA RRF if it ties in to current news?)
