@TheStalwart Mass not exactly a low tax haven

Interesting. Boston is a making a play to lure AI tech talent that doesn't want to pay California taxes bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

@ChairmanSelig @CFTC @SDNYnews *unless you are a corporation that involves the Trump family and/or supporters

As I've stated repeatedly, if you commit fraud, insider trade, or manipulate markets, you will face the full force of the law. Today, the @CFTC took parallel action with @SDNYnews to charge an individual with insider trading involving event contracts. 
Our Division of Enforcement will continue to remain an aggressive cop on the beat, and I thank them for their swift action in this case.

A 17-year-old Jordanian tennis player has withdrawn from an International Tennis Federation (ITF) junior tournament in Cyprus after refusing to play against an Israeli opponent in the opening round, his mother told Jordan's Roya News, describing the decision as "a principled stance." Talal Shatara, a member of Jordan's national tennis team, pulled out of the ITF J30 event despite the tournament representing an important opportunity for the young athlete to gain international ranking points and open doors to future university scholarships, particularly abroad. In remarks to Roya News, Shatara's mother said she was "proud and reassured for life" over her son’s decision, calling it a defining moral moment that would shape how he acts throughout his life. "He came to apologize to his father and me for the travel costs and flight ticket after withdrawing without competing," the mother said. "We told him his position is priceless, and that preserving principles matters far more than any sporting title."

@ChairmanSelig @CFTC @SDNYnews Sure, go after a few randos, but totally cool with Polymarket openly flouting US law right under your nose

@Pchopz_ These feel like contradictory statements

So early but I legit think both KC and Boston are going to be studs for the Browns. You can see KC's big play ability and Boston is just so dependable. But the best WR at OTAs so far? Isaiah Bond. He's been very good.

@CovertheCorner It's crazy that we have both of them on the roster

It was fun to have the Hedges of the month of April to get a brief picture of what it is like to have a catcher who can actually hit a baseball. I know what Hedges and Bailey offer is so valuable but that automatic out is such a bummer.

@TheEconomist The Bund is ironically an irrefutable argument for the need for a Jewish state

Jews in the diaspora who want to celebrate their heritage without tying themselves to Israel might look to the Bundist concept of “hereness”, which a new book by Molly Crabapple celebrates economist.com/culture/2026/0…

@bonchieredstate Mark needs to clean up his own house before he can lecture about "human rights"

An activist faked an injury and then was filmed perfectly fine, laughing in an airport a few hours later. Meanwhile, once the activists got to Spain, the police there beat them with batons. Guess who Mark chose to scold?

@MarkJCarney When you finished your speech about the criminal garbage from the flotilla, I hope he lectured you on the abhorrent conditions Canada's Jews are subjected to

Today, I spoke with the President Herzog of Israel. I reiterated that the appalling treatment of civilians aboard the Gaza-bound flotilla was unacceptable, and that respect for human dignity must be upheld everywhere, at all times. I underlined the imperative of de-escalation in the Middle East, and the importance of a genuine resumption of dialogue among all parties. Progress toward peace and stability in the region must remain the clear, shared objective.

@dan_bernstein_ Submit a FOIA request and then sue when they deny it

Whereas some prediction market exchanges publicly share their reasoning for why certain markets have economic utility in CFTC filings, Kalshi requests these justifications be kept confidential. The CFTC continues to grant these requests.

@NickKristof You doing this again. Nick?

Sumud flotilla activists -- who come from Europe, the US and elsewhere -- have released a statement that Israeli authorities subjected them to abuse, sexual violence and in multiple cases, rape. This hasn't been confirmed. reuters.com/world/europe/f…

@Pchopz_ Great job Kenny and Koby! They'll run it back next year as usual

Obviously making the ECF was a step for this team but going out like THIS is really bad. Hard not to think that major changes are coming.

@JRAMNOTTHAGOAT Fucking dumbass

@NickKristof I refuse to dignify this with a click

Readers offered questions and pushback about my investigation into sexual assaults against Palestinians by Israelis. So here are our answers: nytimes.com/2026/05/21/opi…

@robertjdenault 18+ is legal, you can't omit that fact when comparing to gambling operators at 21+

I usually don't comment too much on media reporting on prediction markets. But the lies being spread are getting out of control. It's always healthy to debate new products and safety concerns, but smear campaigns against Kalshi and prediction markets are off the rails. We support nationwide regulations for ads and marketing of prediction markets; meanwhile, the American Gaming Association called proposed nationwide ad restrictions a "slap in the face" and opposed them. I am not surprised casinos are spreading lies against prediction markets. They’ve spent decades and hundreds of millions of dollars fighting back against federal standards for advertising and consumer protection, and more recently fighting back against market integrity in sports. Kalshi has done more to ban minors on its platform than most gambling platforms. Here are some of our measures: KYC with SSN and selfie verification at signup Face ID on by default 2FA when signing in Parent ID check portal How many of these measures do casinos or OSBs implement? Ask any state representative how conversations about Face IDs have gone with the gambling companies: a bill gets put forward, gambling companies spend millions to squash it, and nothing ever changes. If the casinos want to protect consumers, they would look to embrace much-needed nationwide, uniform regulation. There are constructive debates to be had about marketing, but pretending that casinos and the gambling industry are a model for platform safety or proper regulation is not serious. Currently, only 2 out of 40 states that allow OSBs also require them to gate minors from their social media advertising. Why? OSBs have been lobbying against these kinds of requirements for a decade. BetMGM sent 3000 marketing emails directly to minors in February of this year. Kalshi is not perfect. But we are working to address these kinds of challenges and set a new standard for our industry. Instead of smears, let's pass nationwide legislation to ban minor marketing and make safer platforms: face IDs, selfie verification, parent portals, etc. We support updated uniform laws and regulations that will increase platform safety. If we all care about customers, then let’s work together to get nationwide safety bills like this passed.

@dan_bernstein_ Sure why not

Polymarket U.S. files with the CFTC about implementing parlays (which it calls "Combinatoric Athletic Outcome Contracts")

@TreyYingst Bush league but they do deserve it

Israel’s National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir posted a video of himself taunting Gaza flotilla activists whose hands are zip-tied after they were detained. Israeli PM Netanyahu condemned the actions of his minister as multiple European countries summoned Israeli envoys.

@tlastoria24 @ESPNCleveland 100%. Perspective!

@ESPNCleveland It’s a really bad loss. And it’s certainly on the list. But it’s Game 1 of a 7 game series. They have the opportunity to redeem themselves. The Fumble, The Drive, The Shot, Red Right 88, Game 7 of WS in 97 and 16 are infinitely worse. They were season enders. 97 WS loss is worst.

"I was at the drive and the fumble, I was at the shot... this ranks right up there," - Rizz says last night was one of the worst loses in Cleveland sports history. Do you agree?

@ESPNCleveland Unlucky this guy is our coach

“We got a little unlucky,” - Kenny Atkinson on the Cavs collapse.

@MZavagno11 Kenny not exactly the king of adjustments

Make Jalen Brunson defend literally anyone! Bring him into the action! Maybe don’t play Sam as his primary defender! Put Harden on Bridges! We are doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results
