4-bullet brief | narrative

The Kalshi prediction market prices the Russia sanctions bill becoming law at 100%, leaving no residual doubt.
House passage and transmission to Trump, combined with the news context, are fully consistent with the market's maximum pricing.
A Polymarket contract on Vladimir Putin remaining president by year-end sits at 4% odds of departure, with trading volume up 2,164% day over day, signaling fresh attention to Russian political risk.
Resolution: Kalshi settles via White House confirmation of signing.
