Chris Sicard @sicard.io · 22/05/2026So I appreciate the part of the article I could read, but if this is what Kotaku's management thinks is good UX nowadays I guess I'll just never click a Kotaku link again. Sorry, I know it's not your doing, but damn does it suck. 0161

Chris Sicard @sicard.io · 08/10/2025Gratuitous use of these guys will make such boxes considerably more pleasant to work with, speaking from experience 100
Chris Sicard @sicard.io · 13/03/2025Off topic, but I'd like to point out that the ad system on your website does not play well with this tally format. Thank you for putting the tally together! 020
![Wikipedia text: The Democratic Party won a majority of the state governorships[6] and the U.S. House and Senate seats, each for the first time since 1994, an election-year commonly known as the "Republican Revolution." For the first time since the creation of the Republican Party in 1854, no Republican captured any House, Senate, or gubernatorial seat previously held by a Democrat.[7]
Democrats took a 233–202 advantage in the House of Representatives, and achieved a 49–49 tie in the United States Senate. The Senate figure is sometimes quoted in the media as 51–49, which includes two members who ran as independent candidates: Bernie Sanders and Joe Lieberman, who promised to caucus with the Democrats.[8] The final Senate result was decided when Democrat Jim Webb was declared the winner in Virginia against incumbent George Allen, as reported by the Associated Press.[9] On November 9, 2006, Allen and fellow Republican incumbent Sen. Conrad Burns of Montana both conceded defeat, ceding effective control of the Senate to the Democrats.[10][11]
The election made Nancy Pelosi (D-California) the first-ever female, first-ever Italian-American, and first-ever Californian Speaker of the House[12] and Harry Reid (D-Nevada) the first Mormon Senate Majority Leader.[13] Keith Ellison (D-Minnesota) became the first Muslim ever elected to the U.S. Congress[14] and Mazie Hirono (D-Hawaii) and Hank Johnson (D-Georgia) became the first Buddhists in a United States governing body.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:lgfu3ofsvz72hwug4crhkq6y/bafkreidgnzhamhji6movgy75wyw7xfi3zuiqkhjfsbqsr34q46kw6fo2xa)
