Between the CFTC, the SEC, the Treasury Department and Elizabeth Warren, there are a lot of cooks in the U.S. regulatory kitchen.
This episode is sponsored by NYDIG.
On this week’s “Breakdown Weekly Recap,” NLW looks at some reported emerging tension around which U.S. regulatory body holds authority over crypto.
The U.S. Treasury has revealed its heavy hand in the infrastructure bill process, and it isn’t the first Treasury Department to have a problem with crypto. SEC Chair Gary Gensler is asking Sen. Elizabeth Warren for more authority for his organization. Meanwhile, the CFTC is publicly saying regulatory authority lies with it, not the SEC.

This is the Tranquillusionist, in which I, Helen Zaltzman, read all the salads from the 1950 recipe book 282 Ways of Making a Salad, with Favourite Recipes by British and American Personalities and Stars by Bebe Daniels and Jill Algood, with the purpose of giving your internal monologue a break by replacing it with some absolutely inconsequential words. Note: this is NOT the usual Allusionist. You will not learn anything about language at all, in fact the ideal outcome of the Tranquillusionists is that you’re asleep before the end.
Find all the Allusionist episodes - other Tranquillusionists and also ones that are actually about something - at theallusionist.org.

We’re talking about the back-to-school season and the new hurdles students and parents are facing this year. For starters, many kids are entering the new school year at a severe disadvantage.
A recent study by the consulting firm McKinsey & Company found kids didn’t learn as much as they normally do last year when the pandemic kept taking them out of their routines. Elementary school kids across the country are now about 4-5 months behind where they should be. We’re speaking with the lead author of the study, Emma Dorn, about how parents and teachers can help their kids catch up and what’s at stake for everyone.
But first, we’ll hear from Dr. Kate Williamson of the American Academy of Pediatrics. She’ll weigh in on what schools and parents can do to keep kids healthy, both physically and mentally, as they enter another school year under threat from COVID-19.

With Outremer destroyed in 1291, Christian Europe lost its final link with the original crusading ideology focused on the capture of Jerusalem. What then should happen to the three religious Military Orders which had been established to defend Outremer - the Templars, the Hospitallers and the Teutonic Knights? A particularly grim fate awaited the Templars, which has served as the inspiration for countless myths and conspiracy theories, not least that contained in Dan Brown's bestseller The Da Vinci Code.
Please take a look at my website nickholmesauthor.com where you can download a free copy of The Byzantine World War, my book that describes the origins of the First Crusade.
As Will, Dan, and the Court all navigate their August vacations, we learn how a controversy over the qui tam statute indirectly saved Roe v. Wade. We then catch up on a few legal developments: The Biden Administration has renewed its eviction moratorium, confusing many legal observers in the process. The administration has also finally given us a nomination for Solicitor General. And a controversial cert. petition by the state of Oklahoma provokes an extended discussion of stare decisis and lawyer shaming.
