"Not only do prediction markets lack the incentive to restrict successful traders the same way sports books limit bettors who are winning too much, but the efficiency and information additive value of prediction markets improve the more that knowledgeable and successful traders are participating." - @patrickmgleason 👏

The NC Healthcare Association and other health industry groups are defending the state's certificate-of-need law at the state Court of Appeals.
Dr. Jay Singleton, a New Bern eye surgeon, has been challenging CON restrictions on his business since 2020. He is asking the Appeals Court to overturn a trial court's 2025 decision to dismiss his case.

Colorado’s relatively low and flat income tax is among its few saving graces as Democrats seek to follow the left coast’s burdensome business and climate regulation.

If prevailing wage mandates lower costs, as is often the refrain from building trades folks, why not require the same mandates on new home construction, remodels, and service work. Surely homeowners won’t mind those “lower costs!”

States with no individual income tax (Florida, Texas, Tennessee, Nevada, and others) consistently rank among the strongest gainers, while states with the highest top rates (California at 13.3 percent, New York at 10.9 percent, and New Jersey at 10.75 percent) dominate the list of largest losers.

MedStar Georgetown University Hospital booked nearly $1.4 billion in profits over the past decade…tax-free. Yet it gets nearly $24 million in DC tax breaks while giving only $12.7 million in charity care. When a hospital is this large and successful, it is fair to ask, what is it doing to deserve its tax-exempt status?

After passing the largest tax increase in state history in 2025, the legislature and the governor actually CUT aid to children, youth and families and Medicaid.
Where were these supposedly concerned people then? #waleg

An LA hospitality group runs 25 bars, many of them right by Dodger Stadium. Every extra playoff game means packed bars. An early exit means lost revenue they were counting on.
So they hedged it. They put $60,000 on Kalshi on the Dodgers *not* making the World Series.
The Dodgers lost the NLCS to the Brewers. The position returned nearly 2x, helping cover the playoff business that *never* came.
A Columbia law professor told Fortune it works like “a form of bespoke insurance.”

Randi Weingarten's union just spent $200,000 to support a new income tax in Washington state.
These greedy socialists think they're entitled to all of your money.

This is connected to voters' support of repealing the state personal income tax over time. People understand that government takes too much from their paychecks. When people talk about affordability, it isn't just groceries or energy or gasoline. It's also the high cost of government.

Yes. Prop 43 raises the bar for special taxes from a simple majority to a two-thirds vote. We love this. Thank you, next.

Santa Clara is the #2 county in the country for data centers and income.
At a recent town meeting, the city revealed that data centers cover 9% of the city general fund and they keep the area's electricity costs 33-57% lower than those in surrounding utilities.
Lucky!
