Federal Judge Michael Liburdi's decision to back the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission came after a week of arguments regarding the legality of prediction markets. A lawyer for the CFTC stated that a state criminal case would be a flawed approach to resolving contentious issues surrounding these markets.

A subpoena is simply a command to a witness to provide relevant information, if they have any. As we sit here right now, former attorney general Pam Bondi has the exact same information that she had a week ago when she was still the sitting AG.

The ruling found that while the Trump administration has 'the basic authority' to collect and analyze admissions data disaggregated by race and gender, they do not possess the authority to do so under the circumstances presented here, given the arbitrary and capricious nature in which the ACTS was promulgated.

CFTC failing already a solid bet. Government says tariff refund system 40 percent to 80 percent complete which is quite the spread. Almost a they're just making stuff up kind of estimate.

A majority of justices say this 16-judge court likely has jurisdiction over lawsuits regarding thousands of National Institutes of Health federal research grants that the Trump administration has tried to terminate, as well as other fights concerning canceled grants.
