Senate
The upper chamber of the U.S. Congress — two members per state, with sole power to confirm appointments and ratify treaties.
Coverage of Senate is rising : 41 signals on the latest tracked day, up 78% from its three-week baseline of 23, across 16 domains (up from 8 a week ago). That makes it the #18 most-covered of the 274 concerns we track.
If Senate matters to your work, coverage is climbing off its baseline — worth a closer-than-usual look this week.
