📊Free Summary

We believe the Kalshi contract for the Department of Education being eliminated before January 20, 2029 is overvalued at 17%, with our estimate at 5%. While Trump signed a dismantling EO in March 2025, a judge blocked mass layoffs in May 2025. The DOE was created by Congress and requires Congressional action to eliminate. The Massie bill (H.R. 899) proposes termination by Dec 31, 2026 — but it has no committee vote, no floor vote, and would face Senate filibuster.
