OA1285 - This week on Rapid Response Friday: regulators, mount up! We take a closer look at the actual documents provided to the Senate Judiciary Committee by Attorney General nominee Todd Blanche which convinced John Cornyn and Thom Tillis to change their votes, how deregulation caused a national cyclospora outbreak (and the legal response to it), and state efforts to stop the “prediction market” racket which the Commodity Futures Trading Commission has been all too happy to ignore. And in today’s footnote: three very different cases which prove why prediction markets shouldn’t be a thing at all. <ol> <li> <a href= "https://www.justice.gov/ag/media/1455261/dl?inline" target= "_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Documents provided to the Senate Judiciary Committee by Attorney General nominee Todd Blanche on August 2, 2026</a> </li> <li> <a href= "https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2026/jul/16/diarrhea-outbreak-cyclospora-parasite-cdc" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">“Cyclospora is easy for doctors to miss.
