1. Greetings Catherine and Solari Team, Monday, May 18, 2026

   I’ve been following Massie’s race very close, especially interested in watching the predictions markets, Polymarket and Kalshi. On Saturday night, May 16 at 7:30pm Polymark did the following:

   7:30pm: Massie up 57% and Gallrein 43.5%. At 8:00pm; Gallrein up 52.2%, Massie 44%.

   Kalshi flipped an hour later: 9:00pm: Massie 58.2%, Gallrein 48%. At 10:00pm Gallrein 55.6%, Massie 45.9%.

   It’s 8:45 am MDT, as I submit this (I’m in Colorado, with our own drama, as well).

   Polymark: EG 58.1%, TM 43%, Kalshi: EG 58%, TM 45%.

   I know we will have results (maybe) on Wednesday. Obviously pulling and praying for Massie. Plenty of time and information flow between this post and recording but wanted to see if you or John had any thoughts on shenanigans in the prediction market on Saturday night?

   Thanks to both of you for your Incredible work! John, I watched every video on your channel this past week (while cooking dinners). Brilliant! every one of them.

   Sincerely,

   1. I am confident that an AIPAC group that has already spent $20MM can afford to buy the prediction markets.

      Contrast this with Massie’s, by the way

      1. Just wondering how this will play out at the midterms. What will those Republicans do who are in favor of Massie? Do they feel betrayed and will not be able to vote for Gallrein and don’t vote or switch to Democrats? Or will they vote Republican no matter what? Time will tell.

3. I like to read the comments in M&M, but there were not many, so I looked to see what else was available. I saw the ‘latest’ and thought I would take a look. I was astounded to see the Pushback has Desantis and that abominable AI Law. The only pushback I see is against the will of the people. I will go to Pushback at post my comments there. Clearly no one is reading the bill or I am reading it wrong – I would love to be wrong, but . . .

   I put together a flyer for people to tell Desantis to veto the bill, but I guess he didn’t want it collecting dust on bigs desk. I posted it in Connect, but I don’t know how or if it can be posted here.

   Gov. Desantis was correct when he called for regulating AI Data Centers, but. Look what happened to just one item – Non-disclosure.

   Feature Non-Disclosure
   Agreements (NDAs) –

   Original Bill – Prohibited agencies from signing NDAs
   with data center companies.

   Final – signed bill -Allows NDAs, keeping plans secret
   from the public for up to 12 months.

   This means everything is secret for up to 12 months!!!!!

   1. Just approved taking it down. Our bad. Thanks for the feedback.

      1. I guess we all did or should learn a lesson from this, including me. I have been just one of a huge number of people in my community fighting the proposed ‘Project Tango’ AI Data Center in Palm Beach County. I watched the Town Hall DeSantis held in December on AI in Dec. 2025 and I was very pleased that he wanted laws to protect Floridians.

         I never followed the legislation, just did what I could on researching all things related to AI Data Centers. Then I heard something very odd and thought, that does not make sense with a strict law in the works. It was only then that I checked on the law and found out that it had passed both Houses in Florida and then I finally actually read it. I was shocked at what I read, this was May 6th I called the Governors office on May 7th and they told me that it had landed on his desk the day before, he had 14 days to sign it. The 7th is when I finished reading the bill, I later called the Governor’s office with my comments and then send out Urgent emails to everyone and organization I knew to have them call the Governor and to urge him to veto the bill. The bill was signed into law a few hours after I called his office on the 7th.

         We all. including me, assume someone is taking care of this and we don’t go back and check on it as it progresses. Perhaps this is the plan, it looks like a good bill when first proposed and we assume it is going through the way it was advertised. But as I have just learned, we need keep our eyes on the ball. Very disappointing.
