For “One First,” I wrote about Kalshi’s … creative … effort to use federal commodities trading laws to avoid state bans on sports betting—and why it’s increasingly inevitable that #SCOTUS will (and will have to) resolve the legal challenges to Kalshi’s interpretation—perhaps as soon as this term:
262. Sports Bets, Swaps, and the Kalshi Mess
Kalshi claims that it’s exempt from state gambling laws. Three circuits have divided on that question, and the Supreme Court will soon have to step in.

My former colleague @stevevladeck.bsky.social out this morning with a OneFirst bonus on the extremely troubling search of WaPo journalist Hannah Natanson's home.
Happy to share a free trial to OneFirst, Steve's outstanding coverage of SCOTUS and more.

Bonus 202: Searching Reporters' Homes
Wednesday's search of a Washington Post reporter's home implicates a series of open questions about when, and to what extent, journalists can themselves be targets or suspects in leak investigations.

Do you subscribe to OneFirst? The paid stuff is even better than the free stuff, which is pretty fabulous on its own.

Guys, this is a bonkers letter, purportedly from the solicitor general (and not on letterhead) which claims Trump’s tariffs have to remain in place (presumably even if they are illegal) because if he has to reneg on them it will basically ruin the country (h/t @stevevladeck.bsky.social via OneFirst)

Today is Trump’s deadline to ask SCOTUS to review immunity defense. Great analysis here by @stevevladeck.bsky.social about Court’s options and most likely paths. Both lead to trial before the election. Prof Vladeck’s OneFirst Substack about SCOTUS is supreme.

66. United States v. Trump
Later today, former President Trump will ask the Supreme Court to freeze the criminal prosecution against him arising out of January 6. Here's a rundown of how we got here—and what happens next.

The nuanced take Steve Vladeck gave in OneFirst is good to have for argumentative purposes ("Trump has bragged about how he's doing more E.O.'s than other POTUSes, so even with the benefit of the doubt, he'd have more.").
But a less sugar-coated "Maybe he just sucks???" is also cathartic.
