Thanks to former Sen. @robportmanOH for a great conversation with Laura and @JohnArnold at Impact Ohio about an affordability agenda for Ohio and the nation. They discussed the need for bipartisan permitting reform to lower energy costs, as well as steps policymakers can take to expand housing supply and lower health care costs.

Dems won by focusing on affordability. As it happens, the Senate’s first vote when it returns Tuesday will be on a bill to lower energy costs by modernizing the permitting process. It will be first test of whether affordability is a governing priority or just a campaign slogan.

Industry estimates put more than two-thirds of sports prediction-market volume in states without legal sports betting. Opposition isn’t just sportsbooks guarding turf, writes @JonathanDCohen1 of @aibm_org, an Arnold Ventures grantee, in @WSJopinion. 🔗🔒 on.wsj.com/4zA9WoI

This election was a referendum on affordability. Congress can act right now to create an #AffordableAmerica by passing BAAJA, the most impactful affordability legislation in a decade.

America's ability to compete depends on having the energy to power the industries of the future. China has rapidly expanded its electricity generation while U.S. generation has remained relatively flat. If America wants to lead in advanced manufacturing, AI, and emerging technologies, we need to be able to build the energy infrastructure to power that growth.

If it walks like a duck, talks like a duck, gets people addicted like a duck, has a duck-like counterparty playing the role of the house, and is even less regulated than a duck when to comes to gambling harm, then I don’t see why I should care if the plumage looks a little different.
Yes, a bet and a trade often look similar. But how they work is fundamentally different. A sportsbook sets the odds and takes the other side of your bet. Prediction markets are markets, where buyers and sellers compete to discover and produce efficient prices and enable important public benefits. What the market is about can change, but the structure doesn't. My op-ed on prediction markets and regulation:

Four in five voters hold large hospital systems responsible for high health care prices, according to a new poll from the Alliance for Fair Health Pricing. As high and rising health care prices continue to put pressure on American families, workers, and employers, we need greater accountability. Strong, effective price transparency is a foundational tool to promote a more competitive, affordable health care system. View AFFHP’s poll results here: bit.ly/4dREoBP
