House lawmakers advance bipartisan bill targeting federally regulated sports prediction markets

Published by skeptic

A bipartisan pair of House lawmakers has introduced legislation that would block federally regulated event contracts tied to sports competitions and casino-style games. The proposal, H.R. 9856, would amend the Commodity Exchange Act to prevent those contracts from being listed, cleared, or traded through registered entities if it becomes law. If they look like sports betting and act like sports betting, they should be treated like sports betting. That's why @MarkAmodeiNV2 and I introduced the Prediction Markets Are Gambling Act, a bipartisan bill to stop federally regulated trading platforms from offering sports… pic.twitter.com/bTrXMLdIL9 — Rep.

House of the Dragon star confirmed for Batman: Caped Crusader season 2

House of the Dragon star confirmed for Batman: Caped Crusader season 2

Published by Daniella Wilson

The Clown Prince of Crime will be making his long-awaited debut in the noir animated series, Batman: Caped Crusader. The Joker is officially heading to the 1940s noir-inspired Gotham of the second season of Prime Video’s 10-part animated series, and we finally know who will be voicing the iconic villain. House of the Dragon star Matthew Needham, who currently plays Aemond’s cunning adviser and spymaster Larys Strong, has been revealed as the latest actor to join the already impressive casting line-up. The casting was announced during the Batman: Caped Crusader advanced screening and Q&A with the cast and crew at San Diego Comic-Con on Thursday 23 July, where producers James Tucker and Geoffrey Thorne broke the news to fans. Needham said: “I think anyone who takes over the Joker is a voice who lives in a shadow and that shadow’s name is Mark Hamill. “So when the audition came in for the Joker, I thought, there’s no way I can do it. But then I looked at the email and the character description that they …

Four House Republicans Break Ranks To Help Democrats Pass Iran War Powers Resolution

Four House Republicans Break Ranks To Help Democrats Pass Iran War Powers Resolution

Published by Jenni Sidey

The House on Thursday approved a Democratic-led war powers resolution aimed at restricting President Trump’s military operations in Iran, with four Republicans providing the decisive votes. The measure, sponsored by Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.) and forced to the floor with Rep. Jason Crow (D-Colo.), passed 214-208. Joining every Democrat were Reps. Tom Barrett (R-Mich.), Warren Davidson (R-Ohio), Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) and Brian Fitzpatrick (R-Pa.) – the same quartet that crossed the aisle on a similar resolution last month. It will not end the war, or slow it. The measure is a concurrent resolution, meaning it never reaches the president’s desk for signature or veto and carries no force of law. Both chambers passed comparable measures in June. The war continued. This one is a message, delivered twice. The vote comes as the death toll among U.S. service members climbs. Eighteen troops have been killed since the United States and Israel launched joint strikes on Iran in February – four of them since July 17. U.S. forces have sustained nearly 500 injuries, roughly 100 in the …

The House voted 214-208, with four Republicans joining all Democrats to cast decisive votes for the measure: Reps.

The U.S. Capitol is seen from the Cannon House Office Building on July 22. J. Scott Applewhite/AP hide caption toggle caption J. Scott Applewhite/AP The House on Thursday approved a resolution to remove U.S. forces from hostilities with Iran, in a vote that reflected growing frustration inside Congress over the war and the ability of lawmakers to conduct oversight. The resolution passed the House by a vote of 214 to 208. And while it is not legally binding, the resolution represents a symbolic rebuke to President Trump over a war that lawmakers never voted to authorize. It was the second such rebuke passed by the House since the start of the war. Shortly after the House vote, Senate Democrats tried to advance a war powers resolution of their own, but the measure failed 47 to 49. The votes came at a moment when attacks between Iran and the U.S. appear to be intensifying. Eighteen U.S. troops have died since fighting broke out in February, but four have died since July 17. U.S. forces have also …
