Subject: Kalshi
When you’ve been in Washington long enough, you start to think you’ve seen every flavor of corruption. But then something like Kalshi comes along to remind you: no, the grift can always get worse. And now, it’s being gamified.

Kalshi, a betting platform that lets people wager on real-world events — everything from the weather to inflation to geopolitical crises — has crossed a dangerous new line. It now allows betting on political events. We’re not talking about fantasy football here. We’re talking about markets where you can bet actual money on things like:

What the U.S. tariff rates will be,
Whether a sitting senator will visit Syria before July,
The probability of new legislation passing,
And even election outcomes.
And who joined Kalshi as an advisor in January? Donald Trump Jr. You really can’t make this stuff up
