Kalshi Bans Three Candidates Over Self-Bets in 2026 Midterm Primaries
Prediction market platform Kalshi has suspended and fined three congressional candidates—Mark Moran of Virginia, Matt Klein of Minnesota, and Ezekiel Enriquez of Texas—for engaging in what it calls ‘political insider trading’ by betting on their own campaigns ahead of the 2026 midterm primaries. The enforcement action, announced on Wednesday, marks the most aggressive move yet by a prediction site against political figures, spotlighting growing unease over the integrity of election-related betting. Kalshi’s internal probe revealed that Moran traded in two markets tied to his candidacy, first betting on himself as a potential runner and later after announcing his bid for Virginia’s U.S. Senate seat as a Democratic primary contender before switching to an independent run. He was fined $6,229.30 and banned from the platform for five years. Klein, running in Minnesota’s 2nd Congressional District Democratic primary, placed a smaller bet on his own election outcome, resulting in a $539.85 fine and a five-year suspension. Enriquez, a Republican primary candidate for Texas’s 21st Congressional District, wagered a slightly larger amount, cooperated with the investigation, and agreed to a $784.20 fine alongside a matching suspension period. Kalshi suspended three political candidates for placing bets on their own races on the prediction market platform. — The Dive Feed (@TheDeepDiveFeed) April 22, 2026 Moran, unapologetic in his response, took to social media to criticize Kalshi. “I traded $100 on myself, knowing this would happen and the attention it would create to highlight how this company is destroying young men,” he stated, vowing to impose a 25% ‘vice tax’ on such platforms if elected to the Senate to help reduce national debt. The suspensions come amid broader scrutiny of prediction markets, which have ballooned in popularity with platforms like Kalshi and rival Polymarket handling billions in weekly trading volume. Lawmakers from both parties have voiced alarm over potential insider trading risks, especially following high-profile trades tied to sensitive geopolitical events. Bipartisan bills introduced this year aim to bar CFTC-regulated firms from offering election contracts, with Rep. Blake Moore of Utah warning that under-regulated markets expose the U.S. to public safety and national security threats. Legal ambiguities persist around such trading. While federal laws target breaches of confidentiality, candidates betting on their own races often fall into a gray area, as they owe no duty to keep their own campaign plans secret. Meanwhile, about 40 states contend that prediction platforms resemble gambling and should face state gaming laws, with Arizona recently filing criminal charges against Kalshi for allegedly operating an unlicensed casino—a case temporarily halted by a federal judge. Kalshi’s head of enforcement, Robert DeNault, emphasized the platform’s stance. “Regardless of the size of a trade, political candidates who can influence a market based on whether they stay in or out of a race violate our rules,” he said. This isn’t the first enforcement action by Kalshi in 2026. In February, it suspended an employee of YouTube star MrBeast and a minor California gubernatorial candidate for similar self-betting violations. The fines from Wednesday’s actions are expected to be donated to a nonprofit focused on financial market education, consistent with prior penalties totaling over $7,500 across the three candidates.

RFK Jr. Defends Taxpayer-Funded Kid Rock Video as Measles Cases Surge
Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. faced sharp bipartisan criticism Thursday during his first Congressional appearance of the year, deflecting questions about vaccine policy and defending a taxpayer-funded promotional video featuring him shirtless in a hot tub with rock musician Kid Rock. Kennedy testified before the House Ways and Means Committee as part of a series of at least seven hearings on the Trump administration’s proposed fiscal year 2027 budget, which calls for cutting HHS spending by $15.8 billion — a 12.5% reduction — to $111.1 billion. Rep. Linda Sanchez (D-CA) confronted Kennedy over the CDC’s decision to end a public health campaign promoting flu vaccination, contrasting that move with the HHS-produced video showing Kennedy and Kid Rock. Sanchez cited measles data showing 285 cases in 2024 under the Biden administration, rising to more than 2,000 in 2025 and surpassing 1,600 confirmed cases in the first three and a half months of 2026 alone. “You suspended this pro-vaccine messaging campaign, but somehow you’re spending taxpayer dollars to drink milk, shirtless, in a hot tub with Kid Rock,” Sanchez said, raising a poster-sized photograph of the two men before the committee. Kennedy attempted to respond with “We have done better,” before Sanchez cut him off. He called her remarks “misinformation” and evaded her repeated attempts to get him on record about whether Trump had signed off on the CDC’s move to pull the vaccine campaign. "You're spending taxpayer dollars to drink milk shirtless in a hot tub with Kid Rock. Somehow you think that's a better public health message than informing the public about the benefits of vaccines." Representative Linda Sanchez has said to RFK Jr. pic.twitter.com/2w6salOQPK — unusual_whales (@unusual_whales) April 16, 2026 “I think you don’t want to answer my question,” Sanchez said. “Because I think you know you are making terrible decisions that impact very real lives, especially the lives of children.” Kennedy also drew rare criticism from within his own party. Rep. Blake Moore (R-UT), whose 10-year-old son is on the autism spectrum, said he was “underwhelmed” by the administration’s September claim that autism was caused by women taking Tylenol during pregnancy. “My wife was hurt,” Moore said, noting the announcement unfairly assigned blame to mothers. Kennedy acknowledged the measles vaccine “certainly” could have saved the life of a child who died during a Texas outbreak last year, but offered no explanation for the surge in cases. He also admitted he was unhappy with proposed cuts to nutrition programs like WIC, saying, “Am I happy about the cuts? No, I’m not happy about the cuts.” Information for this story was found via the sources and companies mentioned. The author has no securities or affiliations related to the organizations discussed.

Trump Vows to Fire Fed Chair Powell Over Refusal to Resign Amid Renovation Probe
President Donald Trump escalated his feud with Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell on Wednesday, vowing to fire him if he does not resign when his term as chair expires on May 15. The threat, made during an interview on Fox Business, centers on a contentious criminal investigation into Powell’s handling of a $2.5 billion renovation project at the Fed’s Washington, DC headquarters. The investigation, led by U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro, has accused Powell of misleading Congress about the project’s costs, which have ballooned nearly 80% over the original budget. Trump called the overruns a display of “incompetence” and insisted the probe must continue, even if it delays the confirmation of his nominee to replace Powell, former Fed Governor Kevin Warsh. “Does that mean we stop a probe of a building that I would have done for $25 million that’s going to cost maybe $4 billion?” Trump said in a White House interview. Trump threatens to fire Fed Chair Powell if Powell doesn't resign. — The Dive Feed (@TheDeepDiveFeed) April 15, 2026 Powell, whose term as chair ends next month, can remain in a temporary “pro tempore” capacity until Warsh is confirmed by the Senate, per Fed regulations. He also has the option to stay on as a governor until 2028. In March, Powell told reporters he would not leave the board until the investigation reaches “transparency and finality,” emphasizing his duty to the institution and the public. Legal hurdles are mounting for prosecutors. A federal judge last month quashed subpoenas issued to the central bank, a ruling Pirro plans to appeal, while an unannounced visit by two prosecutors to the Fed’s headquarters this week was rebuffed by the bank’s legal counsel. Robert Hur, representing the Fed, instructed them not to return without a Fed lawyer present. Senate confirmation of Warsh, scheduled for a hearing on April 21, faces resistance from North Carolina Republican Senator Thom Tillis, a key member of the Banking Committee. Tillis has vowed to block the nomination until the probe concludes, raising the likelihood of a prolonged standoff. Trump expressed hope that Tillis would relent but acknowledged the investigation could derail his timeline to seat Warsh by mid-May. The clash has reignited concerns over the Fed’s independence, a cornerstone of U.S. monetary policy. Trump’s repeated criticism of Powell, including past calls for lower interest rates and labeling him a “disaster” for the economy, adds fuel to the tension. The president’s confidence in Warsh to deliver on rate cuts contrasts sharply with Powell’s current tenure. Beyond Powell, Trump’s administration has a history of challenging Fed officials, including an unsuccessful attempt last year to replace Governor Lisa Cook over alleged mortgage improprieties, a case now pending before the U.S. Supreme Court. The ongoing renovation probe, with costs now estimated as high as $4 billion, remains the focal point of the current battle, casting a shadow over the central bank’s leadership transition.
