Congress
The legislative branch of the U.S. government; the House of Representatives and the Senate together.
Coverage of Congress is holding steady : 11 signals on the latest tracked day, up 38% from its three-week baseline of 8, across 6 domains (up from 5 a week ago). That makes it the #89 most-covered of the 289 concerns we track.
Congress is steady by its own history. Its normal rhythm is about 8 signals a day across 6 domains (45 tracked days). A real move would be a day at 10+ signals — 25% above that baseline, the bar our trend read calls accelerating — or a spread into domains beyond its usual 6. That is the move that would push it up the Wire.
What’s changed
7 of the last 7 tracked days ran above the three-week baseline — a sustained move, not a one-day spike.
