The Afternoon Docket

A newsletter by Reuters and Westlaw

 

By Sara Merken

What's going on today?

  • The DOJ served grand jury subpoenas to Minnesota government offices, including those of Governor Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, a department official said, amid protests and an immigration enforcement crackdown in the state.
  • A Massachusetts judge ruled prediction-markets operator Kalshi cannot let state residents bet on sports through its online platform, after the state's attorney general accused it of running afoul of gaming regulators.

We're shaking things up! The Daily Docket and The Afternoon Docket will become one newsletter beginning January 26. The DD will continue to go out every morning, and the AD will go out on Thursday afternoons. If you have any feedback on the changes, feel free to email me.
