The decision matters because federal appeals courts now disagree on the central legal question, and that kind of divergence is what tends to draw the justices in. Kalshi has already asked the Second Circuit to review the ruling. It was expected that the dispute could ultimately reach the Supreme Court, and each conflicting ruling makes that outcome harder to avoid. What the judge decided US District Judge Analisa Torres, who also presided over the SEC’s case against Ripple, denied Kalshi’s request for a preliminary injunction against the New York State Gaming Commission. The order landed in KalshiEX LLC v. Williams, filed July 7 in the Southern District of New York. At i

From the comfort of his bed, Jonathan Rinaldi, a political candidate for a city council seat in Queens, New York, tinkered away on his iPhone, prompting an artificial intelligence chatbot to mock up fake news hits and endorsements he had never received.
During the campaign last October, Rinaldi shared one of those stories, made to appear real with a CNN logo, on his Facebook and Instagram.
