Congress

The legislative branch of the U.S. government; the House of Representatives and the Senate together.

Coverage of Congress is rising : 23 signals on the latest tracked day, up 5% from its three-week baseline of 22, across 14 domains (up from 9 a week ago). That makes it the #116 most-covered of the 348 concerns we track.

If Congress matters to your work, coverage is climbing off its baseline — worth a closer-than-usual look this week.

What’s changed

5 of the last 7 tracked days ran below the three-week baseline — a sustained cooling, not a one-day dip.

What the reporting says

Across 822 tracked stories from 194 outlets, reporting on Congress most often describes public statements (35), elections (23), legal rulings (22), economic releases (20), military action (18), regulatory approvals (16).

It shows up alongside Trump (282), India (113), Senate (148), President Donald Trump (139), United States (139), Republican (136), White House (119), Democrat (95).

Tracked since Apr 15, with coverage on 60 separate days — concentrated in India South Asia.
