• Linda McMahon — the market puts it at 2%, closing 20 Jan 2029. The outcome is Yes if Linda McMahon becomes the first member of Donald Trump's Cabinet to leave or announce her departure after May 22, 2026. The outcome is No if she remains in office longer than any other cabinet member or if no one leaves before that date. Readers often mistake the linked news story about furniture purchases as a trigger for resolution, but only actual resignation, firing, or impeachment counts.
• Before Jan 20, 2029 — the market puts it at 16%, with $197 traded in the last 24 hours, closing 20 Jan 2029. The outcome is Yes if the Department of Education is completely eliminated or sunsetted before January 20, 2029. Otherwise, the outcome is No. Readers often mistake partial funding cuts or executive orders for total elimination.
