Control of Congress Will Be on the Line in the 2026 Midterm Elections
Republicans currently control both chambers of Congress, but their advantage is much slimmer in the House than in the Senate, setting up what is expected to be a highly competitive 2026 midterm election.
In the House of Representatives, Republicans hold 218 seats compared to the Democrats’ 212. Only 216 seats are currently needed for a majority, leaving Republicans with very little room for losses. Even a small shift in key districts could hand control of the House back to Democrats after the November elections.
The Senate presents a different picture. Republicans hold 53 seats, while Democrats control 47, including two independents who caucus with them. Since 51 seats are required for a majority, Republicans have a slightly stronger position in the upper chamber.
Even so, Democrats still have a path to retake the Senate if they successfully defend their most competitive seats and flip a handful of Republican-held seats.

Lenin waited until Russians were eating human flesh and corpses lined the roads before ordering the Church destroyed.
In March 1922, with millions already dead from famine, the Bolsheviks seized Orthodox gold, silver, and sacred vessels under the banner of feeding the starving.
Patriarch Tikhon offered voluntary aid but refused to surrender consecrated items. When parishioners in Shuya defended their cathedral, Red forces opened fire and killed several.
4 days later Lenin sent a top secret letter to the Politburo and turned the crisis into a kill order.
He said the famine was the perfect window. Peasants were too broken to resist, so strike now with “the most frenzied and ruthless energy.” Arrest dozens of priests, stage lightning trials, and shoot “the very largest number of the most influential” so the rest remember for decades.
Because the Church was the last independent power still commanding loyalty outside Party control.
Marxist atheism treated it as a rival that had to be broken, and the famine gave them the cover and the timing. They framed defense of the altar as sabotage of the starving, then executed clergy for it.
The Bolsheviks effectively turned mass starvation into a weapon against the only force left between the State and total control of the Russian soul.

Tried throwing gpt-5.6 sol high (not pro) at this:
> satoshi was probably none of the famous suspects.
> a surprisingly rich code trail survives
> we absolutely have enough material for a much better forensic comparison than has apparently been done.
> bitcoin contains the remains of another product
> bitcoin was probably developed inside a broader personal framework for: decentralized commerce, signed identities/reviews, reputation, messaging, payments—and perhaps gambling.
> the sharper unknown-satoshi profile becomes: a veteran Windows C++ application programmer, probably active since the late 1990s or early 2000s, who had built P2P/network software and was interested in marketplaces, reputation or online gambling.
> prior code-attribution work is much worse than it sounds
> nobody appears to have performed the actually useful experiment: search millions of pre-2009 C/C++ projects first, identify code relatives, and only then inspect their authors.
about 47m of total work. sol seems to think it's found a neglected approach here that hasn't been competently pursued publicly to its knowledge, and also seems to think the existing profile of satoshi is too heavily weighted towards digital money theorists (wei dai, nick szabo, hal finney, etc) as opposed to hardcore programmers. here's the transcript, someone throw pro / codex at this:
