  When the 120th Congress starts, and Democrats have both chambers’ majority, we’ll be holding Democrats accountable just as we’ve done with the Republicans while they’ve had their majority. https://www.govtrack.us/posts/632/2026-11-09_holding-democrats-accountable

  Another perspective on the permitting bill that might come before the Senate soon. https://bsky.app/profile/jael.bsky.social/post/3mzvlnuzacc2z

  This bill has yet to pass the Senate or the House and there are _a lot_ of points at which it could fail. It’s not a hard and fast pro or anti environment or consumer bill either. It’s large with a lot of moving parts and a brand new set of amendments. That’s what makes this article so helpful - it summarizes all of these elements. https://www.politico.com/news/2026/11/09/five-factors-permitting-reform-fate-01154190

  RE: https://sfba.social/@soaproot/117559118063843321 The count of the Colom lead has shifted a bit today. This article had him ahead 43 at 3 am although there’s still outstanding votes to count. The outcome won’t be final for a while. https://www.wlbt.com/2026/11/04/scott-colom-projects-victory-razor-thin-mississippi-senate-race-uncounted-ballots-linger/

  House and Senate both are back next week on the 9th, though the Senate only for two days. House calendar: https://pressgallery.house.gov/schedules/2026-house-calendar Senate: https://www.senate.gov/legislative/resources/pdf/2026_calendar.pdf

  Can’t find other sources that also say this date is definite, but 12/15 is apparently when Husted leaves (https://www.wsaz.com/2025/01/17/ohio-lt-gov-jon-husted-is-expected-succeed-jd-vance-us-senate-ap-sources-say/) so it certainly seems likely that the lame duck will include a switch of Senators. https://bsky.app/profile/emptywheel.bsky.social/post/3mzieds6jtc2t

  The second story. It’s possible that Democratic House leadership will punish her in some way for this since she is a sitting member of the House and will continue to serve until January 3. https://bsky.app/profile/washingtonsun.com/post/3mzbel5d4wl2q
