Election Betting on Prediction Markets, Special Education, Breastmilk Storage

Prediction markets like Kalshi are attempting to curb insider trading by campaign staffers through surveillance programs using FEC data, though structural gaps remain as federal oversight from the Commodity Futures Trading Commission lags behind rapid market growth. Meanwhile, the Department of Education faces intense scrutiny over plans to transfer special education oversight to the Department of Health and Human Services, a move critics argue adds unnecessary bureaucracy and creates confusion regarding legal accountability under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. Additionally, parenting advice regarding breast milk storage is being challenged by social media influencers citing small, unverified studies; however, health experts maintain that the two-hour discard rule remains the safest practice due to the risk of bacterial contamination from infant saliva. These developments highlight ongoing tensions between evolving industry practices, administrative restructuring, and established public health guidelines.
