According to Kalshi's prediction market, the Democrats are projected to win 231 seats in the midterm congressional elections this fall. This would give them a solid majority, as well as the subpoena power to investigate Trump and his administration and to compel testimony. The Republicans are likely to hold onto the Senate by a slim majority, so we are looking at a divided government with a lame-duck Trump in office, receiving a colonoscopy every day for the following two years. Personally, I consider this the best possible outcome for the world. Basically, it will be total gridlock and never-ending torture sessions for the orange clown.

Image 2 shows the current polling. The Democrats currently have 210 seats locked in out of the 218 needed for a majority. Of the 19 seats up for grabs, 4 are already Democrat-controlled, so they only need 4 of the 15 Republican-controlled seats to gain the House. Historically, the party in power tends to take an absolute beating in the midterm elections, and the Republicans have done everything they can to screw this up. Imagine if oil goes over $100 per barrel!

Edit: To be clear, I'm not saying that the Democrats are "better." I'm simply cheering on gridlock and never-ending subpoenas for the orange one.

Sabereen News is reporting a direct hit of an Iranian missile in Southern Israel.

They also report explosions in Bahrain.
