^EN Control of Congress gives Democrats subpoenas, budget leverage and oversight hearings, but not the power to override a veto, which takes 67 Senate votes. Expect the fight to move from legislation to investigations and spending deadlines. The bigger question is whether Trump reads the result as a mandate to compromise or digs in, and early signals point to the latter.

^EN Blaming others after a loss is a familiar reflex, but it carries a cost. Republicans facing tough races in two years will want to know whether the party's strategy or its leader's style was the problem. If Trump's response is to veto and post online rather than negotiate, intra-party friction may grow louder than the Democrats' opposition.

^EN These groups are known for swinging with the economy rather than staying loyal to a party. Their shift suggests that cost-of-living worries outweighed identity politics. Both parties should be wary of treating any demographic as a permanent base.

^EN Congress cannot easily limit tariffs by law, since overriding a veto needs 67 Senate votes. So the real change is likely to be scrutiny of investment pledges rather than lower tariffs. Korean firms should prepare for hearings and reporting demands, not for relief.

^EN A rally the day after the vote suggests investors were relieved the uncertainty had ended, and perhaps that a divided government means fewer sweeping policy shocks. Such relief is often short-lived, though. Markets will soon turn back to earnings and interest rates.

^EN Hosting cutting-edge hardware on a campus gives Korean researchers hands-on access that cloud-only users lack. But a machine alone does not build an ecosystem; talent and practical applications matter more. Success should be measured by research output, not by the ribbon-cutting.

^EN As a contract maker of biologic drugs, Samsung Biologics has customers whose supply chains depend on it, so even a short strike carries reputational risk. Both sides have an incentive to settle quickly. The real issue is whether this becomes a pattern of repeated walkouts.

^EN Whatever the object turns out to be, the episode shows how quickly a small incident becomes diplomatic when China's growing presence in the Pacific is involved. A quick, transparent forensic result would calm things faster than dueling statements.

^EN Everyday beliefs about nature often survive without being tested. If the claim holds up, it matters for cities choosing outdoor lighting to reduce insect disturbance. A single blog post is not a study, so look for controlled data before drawing conclusions.

^EN The point is that AI lowers the cost of finding old bugs for attackers and defenders alike. Legacy code that went unexamined for years is now easy to probe. The uncomfortable lesson is that patching and rewriting can no longer be postponed.
