Will Trump invoke the Insurrection Act during his Presidency
Analysis
This market reflects the likelihood that President Trump will invoke the Insurrection Act at some point during his presidency. The Insurrection Act is a federal law that permits the president to deploy armed forces to suppress insurrections or rebellion. The 50% probability suggests significant uncertainty about whether Trump will use this executive authority. The current level likely reflects both the broad scope of the authorization (it could apply to various domestic security scenarios) and historical precedent—the act has been invoked rarely in modern times. Key factors include ongoing civil unrest levels, military leadership positions and their counsel to the president, legislative pressure or opposition regarding deployment authority, and Trump's governing approach toward domestic security challenges. The primary driver of resolution will be whether any qualifying domestic crisis occurs that prompts presidential consideration of the act.
- ›Historical frequency of Insurrection Act invocation in modern presidencies (last used in 1992 for LA riots)
- ›Current and projected levels of civil unrest or domestic security incidents through end of Trump's term
- ›Composition and public positions of military leadership regarding domestic deployment authority
- ›Congressional activity regarding restrictions or authorizations on presidential emergency powers
- ›Trump's documented statements and past executive actions on military deployment and domestic security

Trump Pivots on Hormuz Blockade — Market Prices 63% Chance of Lift by June 30
The 'Trump announces US blockade of Hormuz lifted by June 30' contract surged 32¢ to 63¢ in a single session, making it the single biggest mover across all Trump-linked markets. This repricing is the direct political consequence of the Iran diplomatic surge — traders now see a high likelihood that the administration will claim a diplomatic win by lifting the blockade in conjunction with a nuclear deal framework.
Project Freedom Surge Signals Imminent Executive Action
The market saw a massive repricing of a contract related to a Trump executive action ('Project Freedom'), jumping from 13¢ to 100¢. This near-certainty event signals a high-impact policy announcement expected by June 30. The sudden move indicates strong insider or event-driven buying.
How we compute these odds
SimpleFunctions aggregates live prediction-market contracts from Kalshi and Polymarket. Each slug groups contracts that resolve on the same underlying event, identified by venue event_id.
For binary slugs, the headline probability is the liquidity-weighted mid-price across all bound contracts. For multi-outcome slugs (e.g. elections with 3+ candidates), the headline is the leader’s price; we never arithmetically average disjoint outcomes — that would produce a number with no real-world meaning.
Snapshots refresh every 5 minutes during market hours; daily aggregates are computed at 04:00 UTC. The 30-day sparkline is drawn from per-ticker daily means stored in market_indicator_daily; 24h delta and movement events are derived from the same source.
