Where the country stands: who holds the seats, what officials push and block, and where words, votes and company plans collide.
As of Nov 3, 2026, before midterm results. Today is Election Day. Tonight's results will change these numbers. New results will be marked PRELIMINARY until officially certified, with the certification date shown once known. New members are seated in January 2027 (governors and legislatures on each state's own calendar).
Overall control (composition index)
Method: equal-weight average of the five bodies' right-side (Republican) share. Shows: how much of the system each side holds, all bodies together. Does not show: who can actually pass a given law (the presidency's veto, the Senate filibuster and court rulings work differently; the stall map will show that).
Independents who caucus with a party are counted with that party. Vacancies and split legislatures are left out of each share. The Supreme Court is counted by the party of the appointing president, which is not the same as how a justice votes.
Balance of power
DemocraticIndependent / splitVacant / otherRepublican| line = 50%
How we judge
Facts only. Seat counts, recorded votes, bill text, signed orders, dated quotes. No adjectives, no predictions.
Every claim has a source and an "as of" date. No source, not shown.
A disagreement is not a contradiction. A card needs a documented statement or plan on one side and a documented vote, action or law on the other.
Three card types:word vs vote (an official's statement against their own vote or signature), policy reversal (an official or government changing a documented position), law vs company plan (a law, bill or order against a company's public plan). A law that conflicts with a company plan is a market fact, not proof of hypocrisy.
Confidence:verified means both sides are documented with sources. possible means one side or the link between them needs more evidence.
Every card carries context: why it may not be hypocrisy (a changed bill, new information, a compromise, a procedural choice).
Same standards for every party. Counts per party are reported as found, never forced to be equal.
Election results are PRELIMINARY until officially certified. Each result shows its certification date once known.
People by topic
Example rows. Each line is a recorded vote, sponsorship, signature or public statement, with its source. Pick a topic.
Contradictions
Cards that pass the rules in "How we judge". Each shows its type, its confidence and context for why it may not be hypocrisy. Counts are what the evidence found so far, not a target per party.
