We do not forecast. We keep a source-traced record of what happened, and this page is the part of it that more than one independent source reported on its own. Window: 1 September 2026 – 7 September 2026. 488 events in that window met the bar; the 60 with the most independent agreement are listed here.
Each entry shows the claim as its sources state it, how many independent origins reported it, and who they were. A wire story republished by fifteen outlets counts once — the republished copies are collapsed and counted, never added up as agreement.
