  NEW: @Kalshi suspended 3 users for “political insider trading,” after internal probe found they bet on their own campaigns. Biggest crackdown yet against political candidates, with 2026 midterms underway and lawmakers worried about election integrity https://www.cnn.com/...

  Prediction markets are doing a better job of policing insider trading by government officials than the actual government agencies whose job it is do that.  —  From “drain the swamp” to “fill it with monsters”.  [image]
