Your visualizations are so great. Do you know what all includes the lower 48 trend stat below the map - does it include water bodies like the Great Lakes?

It doesn’t matter. Either way Polymarket wins and everyone else loses.

Now everyone is talking about a Nancy Pelosi federal charge, no one knows what it could be about, and having “early access” to that information, if it is real, is useless.

US accuses financial website of spreading Russian propaganda U.S. intelligence officials allege a conservative financial website with a significant American readership is amplifying Kremlin propaganda.
