KGB operations success:

Almost a decade after the Brexit vote, GDP in the UK is around 6-8% lower relative to peer countries. (Source: www.nber.org/papers/w34459)

Wow. 14" of fresh powder in Canaan Valley, West Virginia this morning. But that's not all.
Flurries were even reported in Myrtle Beach, SC; Charlotte and Atlanta.
Is this a sign of a BIG winter to come? Our winter outlook is coming out later this week. Stay tuned.

This allows Trump (via DOJ) to use taxpayer money to bribe eight GOP Senators. It's that simple, there's no other way to describe it.
And where's the compensation for people injured by the Trump admin's unlawful conduct through DHS & DOGE?

Trump’s blanket pardons for stop-the-steal illegality aren’t only about settling scores from past elections. They’re about laying the groundwork to subvert future ones.
