Congress
The legislative branch of the U.S. government; the House of Representatives and the Senate together.
Coverage of Congress is rising : 18 signals on the latest tracked day, down 18% from its three-week baseline of 22, across 8 domains (unchanged from a week ago). That makes it the #55 most-covered of the 274 concerns we track.
If Congress matters to your work, coverage is climbing off its baseline — worth a closer-than-usual look this week.
What’s changed
6 of the last 7 tracked days ran below the three-week baseline — a sustained cooling, not a one-day dip.
