Congress
The legislative branch of the U.S. government; the House of Representatives and the Senate together.
Coverage of Congress is holding steady : 16 signals on the latest tracked day, up 23% from its three-week baseline of 13, across 6 domains (down from 9 a week ago). That makes it the #176 most-covered of the 348 concerns we track.
Congress is steady by its own history. Its normal rhythm is about 13 signals a day across 6 domains (46 tracked days). A real move would be a day at 17+ 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.
