Prediction market operators want you to see a NYC bar hedging a Knicks promo and think "financial tool." But with sports betting exceeding $160 billion last year and almost none of it tied to actual hedging, the framing doesn't hold up.

Text from former GOP Senate Pres. Dave Osmek, who is very much not holding back right now: "Any convention that sees fit to have a Moment of Silence for Derek Chauvin should not be able to chose what flavor juice is in their sippy cup, much less the next Governor of Minnesota"
LMAO what a bunch of clowns.
The fiasco at the convention is all on #mngop. Also calls into question yesterday’s endorsements conducted by electronic balloting.
No one should abide by any of this nonsense.
Kendall Qualls, on the brink of a Republican endorsement for governor, says of himself and endorsed Senate candidate Adam Schwarze: "The boys are back in town."
Qualls is close to winning over House Speaker Lisa Demuth after Schwarze beat Michele Tafoya.
Between stock trading by federal officials, insider trading in prediction markets, fixed sporting events, and suspicious moves in energy, integrity in markets feels lower today than at any point in the modern era.
"online sports gambling amps the dangers of destructive behavior because the dopamine hit is now in your pocket."
This is a policy choice. It doesn't have to be this way.
From the wayback files - ten years ago today, the MN Senate passed the Drug Sentencing Reform Act. Days later, the bill passed unanimous in the MN House. This bipartisan bill brought law enforcement and advocates together to make meaningful changes - saving lives and reducing costs. #mnleg #CJreform
Target announced this week that it would remodel more than 130 stores as well as open 30 new stores - including a new store in the Twin Cities. https://t.co/LoPDqws7yR
The societal trend I’m most worried about these days is also one receiving very little attention from policymakers, most of whom would rather talk about anything other than schools.

I’m getting ready to meet my “intern” soon, so tomorrow is my last day of work for a while as I begin this new chapter.
#mnleg may never end early, but this one didn’t get the memo. 👶🏼🍼
An energizing conversation this morning about how the US and UK can work together to identify evidence-based strategies that reduce violence against women and girls.
There is growing evidence (including many RCTs) on how to address violence affecting men. Why doesn’t violence against women get the same serious, scientific investment?
Grateful to MPs @AlexDaviesJones and @jessphillips for taking the time to compare notes and strategize, on an extremely eventful day here in London!
