How the story was built

Every piece in order, with the time its news medium declares — if it is not believable we use ours and say so — and what it added to what was already known at that point. Arriving first is not the same as adding something.

Has this happened before?

Nothing comparable yet.

What could happen next

What the prediction markets currently price as likely. This is context, not a forecast of ours: there is money on it, and that is all we show.
