BREAKING: The Florida Attorney General has gone after the payment processors that worked with online sweepstakes casino operators VGW and Stake. Among those sued are Worldpay, Trustly, Praxis, and Breeze Labs. The AG is seeking to recover all customer losses from these firms.

@CornerMediaCo @CollegeSportsCo @UVAFootball @VirginiaSports Can we all agree that the 95' uniform needs to move from "throwback" to permanent uniform for all uva home games? I would settle for all uva home night games with '89 throwback as secondary uniforms for noon and 3 pm home games.

@jakemalasek Prevard was an animal last year for the wahoos and turned the games on their head multiple times during the season. Why he would leave this rocket ship baffles me and crushes my soul. Wish him the best and he will always be a Hoo in my book.

#WVU is up 14-1. There's a guy holding a raccoon in the crowd. I don't know what else to tell you.

Excited to unveil the design for the East Potomac Golf Links renovation from Fazio Design.

Like iconic public courses of Bethpage Black & Torrey Pines, East Potomac will offer locals—of the National Capital Region—championship-quality golf at affordable, highly discounted rates.

U.S. sportsbooks generated nearly $17B in revenue in 2025 (+22.6%) per the AGA’s State of the States report.

Notably absent for the first time: sports betting handle figures.

LSR data indicates commercial handle fell ~2% in Q1, the first quarterly decline on record.

ICYMI: A US Senate subcommittee will discuss "sports betting and gaming integrity" May 20; testifiers include AGA President Bill Miller, Tennessee gaming regulator Mary Beth Thomas, IC 360 CEO Scott Sadin and Coalition for Prediction Markets' Patrick McHenry, a former 10-term Congressman

Statement by President George W. Bush on Robert Mueller:

"Laura and I are deeply saddened by the loss of Robert Mueller. Bob dedicated his life to public service. As a Marine in Vietnam, he proved he was ready for tough assignments. He earned a Bronze Star and a Purple Heart before returning home to pursue law. In 2001, only one week into the job as the 6th Director of the F.B.I., Bob transitioned the agency mission to protecting the homeland after September 11. He led the agency effectively, helping prevent another terrorist attack on U.S. soil. Laura and I send our heartfelt sympathy to his wife of nearly 60 years, Ann, and the Mueller family."

It’s here. Live with more details on the viral @Polymarket bar that has temporarily arrived to Washington, DC, on @NBCNewsNow throughout the day.

The @CFTC’s roots are in trading agricultural commodities, and we take pride in celebrating our hardworking farmers and ranchers during National Agriculture Week. Access to key risk management tools and sound markets remains a priority and is more important now than ever before.

[Barred in DC @BarredinDC]

Hmm @tylercmorris suggests this is Proper 21 on K St NW.

I called them to see if they will be open of Friday and they have a “full buyout” that day. Looks like they are also unavailable Saturday - Sunday.

So appears @Polymarket has bought out Proper 21K for the weekend

[Mike Selig @ChairmanSelig]

The Arizona Attorney General today filed criminal charges against one of our registered exchanges related to prediction markets. This is a jurisdictional dispute and entirely inappropriate as a criminal prosecution. The @CFTC is watching this closely and evaluating its options.
