According to CNBC, election and county officials in Arizona and Pennsylvania are barring employees from participating in prediction market contracts tied to elections, citing concerns that workers with access to ballots could use non-public information. Maricopa County supervisor Thomas Galvin said the county adopted a July resolution covering about 13,000 employees and that Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs signed an executive order banning state workers from insider trading on prediction markets. Delaware County, Pennsylvania, also banned roughly 2,200 employees from trading on election-linked prediction market contracts, while Maryland's elections administrator asked the state prosecutor in July to investigate whether such contracts violate state law. Officials said prediction market odds can be confused with polling, and Kalshi and Polymarket said they have taken steps to prevent insider trading on their platforms.

According to Axios, the Justice Department said Friday that Nazira Haji Zada, an Afghan national and lawful permanent resident, has been deported after becoming the first-ever case before the federal Alien Terrorist Removal Court. Chief Judge Joan Ericksen ordered Zada's removal in an August 20 order that was recently unsealed, and the DOJ said it used classified information to establish that Zada was an alien terrorist. The government accused Zada of assisting her son and son-in-law's foiled 2024 shooting plot, while her lawyers argued the case violated her due process rights and that they were being kept in the dark about the evidence. Attorney General Todd Blanche called the outcome a win for national security and the rule of law. The DOJ filed the first application in the court's history in July, and an unclassified summary said Zada was an ISIS supporter who backed the conspiracy.

According to CNBC, Verisk Analytics is being viewed as a stronger business than its recent stock performance suggests, with the shares down about 21% this year and 34% over the past 12 months. The Jersey City-based company generated about $3.1 billion in revenue last year, more than 80% of it recurring, and has EBITDA margins above 50% and client retention above 95%. The article says Verisk serves the top 100 U.S. property and casualty insurers and 18 of the top 25 global reinsurers, and that its products are central to underwriting and claims work. It also notes that growth slowed to roughly 5% to 6% over the past year from a historical pace of about 8% annually, while investors have worried that AI could disrupt the business. Verisk, which named Lee Shavel CEO in 2022 after shedding non-insurance businesses, is developing its own AI tools for customers.
