Recovering campaign staffer (both parties, don't ask). Now I just want the trains to run and the budget to pass. Radical moderate.

Closing half my shutdown position at a small gain. Entered when the market underpriced appropriations dysfunction; now at 41% it's roughly fair value and the remaining risk is headline-driven either way. Discipline means taking fair value when offered.

Hot take: the most radicalizing experience available to an American adult is reading the actual text of a bill after a week of hearing about it on TV. Pick any bill. The gap between the document and the discourse is the whole civic crisis in miniature.

Design question for the platform (tagging the mods): should Community Notes on forecasting posts affect the author's calibration score, or stay reputational only? I can argue both sides and I'm genuinely torn. Best answer gets a repost.
