In the 126 years since 1900, nearly 90 percent of the midterm elections have led to the party in the Oval Office losing House seats, and two-thirds of those same elections have led to it losing Senate seats. Given this history, midterm losses of some sort in 2026 were almost a sure bet. But what ensued in November went well beyond all normal expectations. When all the votes are tabulated, the current blue wave may match the massive midterm losses that buried Bill Clinton in 1994 and Barack Obama in 2010. First, what does this massive 2026 slapdown now portend? A second-term president in his final two years, facing a euphoric and frenzied opposition Congress, emboldened by a landslide, will have difficulty confirming federal judges or cabinet members. Most presidents in that dire situation try to rush through confirmations in the brief two remaining months of their lame-duck congressional majorities – not an easy task. Trump is, at this very moment, following in their footsteps.

BISMARCK – One of the toughest jobs in North Dakota’s Legislature has a longtime figure taking charge. Rep. Robin Weisz, R-Hurdsfield, is the new House majority leader after House Republicans elected their leadership team Wednesday night. Senate Republicans reelected Sen. David Hogue, R-Minot, as their majority leader. Both men ran unopposed. “It will be an outstanding relationship because it already is,” Hogue said of their roles together. They will lead the two Republican supermajorities as perhaps the most visible members of the Legislature. The majority leaders steer the biennial legislative session, meet frequently with the governor, talk to the media and keep tabs on the Legislature’s work between sessions. Weisz has been speaker of the House for nearly two years, presiding over the 94-member chamber during floor sessions. He will hold both jobs simultaneously until a new speaker is elected in early December.

Every three years, the committees that write America’s model building codes sit down and rewrite them. Every three years, the codes get longer. I have yet to find the cycle in which they took out more than they put in. Regulation works like a ratchet. Each click tightens. Nothing ever gets loosened up. Every individual requirement sounds reasonable on its own, e.g., thicker insulation, another specialty breaker, duct work pressure-tested by a contractor, a mechanical fresh-air system for houses the previous code made airtight. No one wants to vote against safety, and no one shows up at the hearing on behalf of the young couple who will be priced out of the house. The National Association of Home Builders, in June, calculated that government regulation now adds $131,734 to the price of the average new home, more than a quarter of what the buyer pays. Code changes made over just the past decade account for $40,288 of that. Five years ago, the figure was $24,144.

More competitive pay was the top priority among North Dakota University System employees while they also expressed satisfaction with the benefits they receive, according to a recent survey. The University System, comprising 11 public colleges and the system office, conducted the rewards survey from Sept. 14-30 to gather employee feedback on compensation, benefits and the overall rewards package. About 41% of the faculty, staff and administrators responded to the survey. Temporary and student employees were not included. The survey results were presented to the State Board of Higher Education last month. Of the 3,069 employees who responded, 2,260 selected “More competitive pay” as one of the top three changes they would like to see. When asked what employees value most, health insurance ranked No. 1, followed by a retirement plan and then increased pay.

BISMARCK – North Dakota’s first charter schools are potentially on the horizon for fall 2027 as the Department of Public Instruction released application materials last week and a timeline to set the new schools in motion. North Dakota public charter schools were authorized by the Legislature in 2025 with the passage of Senate Bill 2241. “Opening a public school is a serious responsibility, and North Dakota families deserve confidence that any new school has a clear plan to help students succeed,” said Superintendent of Public Instruction Levi Bachmeier in a statement. The state will provide an average per student payment of about $8,300 to each charter school based on its enrollment. The new schools are not eligible to receive funding from property taxes, according to the department. Applications for new charter schools under the ND ANCHOR program, Authorizing North Dakota Charters for High-Quality Outcomes and Results, can be submitted to the department beginning Dec.

Charm without consistency: It is one of life’s most painful lessons, often arriving only after decades of experience. Many people spend their entire lives trying to decode why certain individuals are so magnetic yet so damaging to those around them. At age 65, looking back reveals a clarity that younger eyes often lack. You realize that the most dangerous person you ever knew wasn’t a monster hiding in the shadows, but the most charismatic person in the room. The reason it takes so long to see the truth is simple: they didn’t just walk into your life; they made you feel like the center of the universe. This feeling of being “chosen” acts as a powerful barrier against the truth. The Anatomy of the “Charming” Manipulator The most dangerous people are rarely unpleasant at first. In fact, they are usually the kindest, most attentive, and most engaging people you will ever meet.

Fallout from the Nvidia scandal may dampen the exuberance around the AI boomNvidia CEO Jensen Huang’s stunning resignation has sent ripples throughout the global technology industry, with competitors itching to take advantage of the uncertainty surrounding the chip giant. Others wonder if the downfall of one of AI’s biggest cheerleaders will dampen the mood around the civilization-altering technology. Some of Nvidia’s biggest rivals, such as Broadcom, Intel and Advanced Micro Devices, saw their shares advance Thursday following Huang’s departure, as investors predicted that its customers may be looking to diversify their suppliers. In the end, analysts say, this might not be such a bad thing.kAmy6?D6? wF2?8 3F:=E E96 4@>A2?J E92E A@H6CD px] }@H }G:5:2 >FDE 7:?5 2 H2J 7@CH2C5 H:E9@FE 9:>k^Am kAm}G:5:2 rt~ y6?D6? wF2?8 92D C6D:8?65[ 42AA:?8 2 DA64E24F=2C 5@H?72== 7@C 2 A@DE6C 3@J @7 E96 2CE:7:4:2= :?E6==:86?46 3@@>] w:D 6I:E @?

Scarcity leads to creativity: The 1980s are often remembered for neon lights and synth-pop, but for many who grew up in that era, the reality was defined by limited resources and economic shifts. This unique environment forced a generation of children to solve problems using nothing but their imagination and whatever they could find in the garage. Today, those children are the leaders of global industries, tech innovators, and creative visionaries who reshaped the modern world. Experts now believe that the lack of instant gratification and digital abundance in the 1980s acted as a high-pressure forge for developing high-level cognitive skills and unconventional thinking. By examining the relationship between childhood deprivation and adult achievement, we can see how the absence of tools actually became the ultimate tool for success. The 1980s created a “perfect storm” of boredom and necessity that modern society is struggling to replicate.

AURORA | On the same field where it suffered a close loss three weeks earlier against the same opponent, the Grandview football team turned the tables Thursday night. The fifth-seeded Wolves lost to 12th-seeded Regis Jesuit by three points at Legacy Stadium in Week 9 of the regular season and the two local programs found themselves head-to-head again with a trip to the Class 5A state quarterfinals on the line. This time, it was coach Tom Doherty’s Grandview team that came through in the clutch, as it scored the only points of the second half on a touchdown sneak by junior quarterback Lander Wise and made it stand up defensively in a 19-13 victory. The win moved the Wolves into the quarterfinals for the first time since 2023. They will play the winner of Friday’s 7 p.m. contest between No. 4 Fort Collins (10-0) and No. 13 Northfield (7-4).

Dear TSL, How do you balance doing what you love in exchange for being practical and wanting to be successful financially? Sincerely, Lowly Hooper My grandma always gives the advice that the most important decision you make in life is your romantic partner. But a close second is what you choose to do with your waking hours. After college, the majority of your time will be spent doing the work you choose to do. So you must choose wisely. Obviously, everyone has different desires in terms of financial freedom. There are those who want to live the globe-trotting lifestyle, others who aren’t content to trade labor for financial capital and others who still believe financial success correlates with life success. Careers are often, of course, chosen out of financial necessity. From here on out I will assume that you know yourself reasonably well and have the privilege to choose between several career paths.

Physicists found a new way to measure the universe: This groundbreaking discovery is changing how we look at the vast emptiness above our heads. For decades, scientists have struggled to agree on exactly how fast the cosmos is expanding, but a fresh perspective is finally bringing us closer to the truth. By using a clever mix of cosmic ripples and advanced mathematics, researchers have bypassed old problems that caused conflicting results. This new method doesn’t just give us a number; it offers a high-definition map of the history of space and time. If you have ever wondered how we can measure something so much bigger than ourselves, you are in the right place. Let’s dive into how this new measurement works and why it’s such a big deal for the future of astronomy. The Great Cosmic Yardstick Mystery Measuring the universe is not as easy as pulling out a tape measure.

: In a move that has sent ripples across global financial markets, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has reportedly halted discussions regarding its ambitious cross-border economic zones. This sudden pivot has left international trade analysts and Canadian investors scratching their heads. The decision marks a significant departure from the Kingdom’s previously aggressive expansion strategy. For a nation that has been sprinting toward economic diversification, this sudden “hard brake” on international collaboration suggests a major internal policy shift or a re-evaluation of regional risks. As Canadians watch from across the pond, the implications for global energy prices and international trade partnerships are significant. If one of the world’s most ambitious infrastructure projects is hitting a wall, it raises serious questions about the future of globalized mega-projects in an increasingly volatile world.
