This seems correct, even though I think it's unfortunate that these prediction markets are ruining so many people's lives.

> In the lawsuit, filed on July 31, New York seeks a temporary restraining order prohibiting KalshiEX, LLC from offering all event contracts nationwide and more than $36 billion in damages.

This seems naturally the territory of the CFTC. They have exclusive right to regulate futures and derivatives contracts, which Congress handed them. Also, it seems straightforwardly anti-commerce-clause to allow NY to prohibit Kalshi from offering these contracts nationwide.

Your quote is what the CFTC is claiming, not what NY is actually asking for.

Your mistake is trusting that a federal agency will tell the truth when the president or his family has a financial interest. Hint: they will not.
