Democrats won control of both the House and the Senate in the 2026 US midterm elections, the first time the party has held both chambers in 50 years. Democrats also flipped at least 24 House districts, seven Senate seats and five governorships, according to Associated Press data. In Texas, Democrat Gina Hinojosa defeated Governor Greg Abbott, who was seeking a record fourth term. Voters cited inflation, the cost of living and dissatisfaction with President Donald Trump as key concerns, and Republicans had flipped no Democratic-held seats by the time of the latest reporting.

General Motors will pay $220 million to settle claims brought by a coalition of US state attorneys general over the sale of driver data. The states allege GM sold driving behaviour and location data to data brokers and insurers from 2016 to 2024 without customers' permission, linked to its discontinued Smart Driver program. Under the settlement, GM must limit data collection and obtain drivers' express consent before collecting or sharing their information, and must undergo a third-party assessment of its privacy program. The deal follows a New York Times report on the practice. Reporting differs on the number of states involved, with some outlets citing 36 and others 35 plus the District of Columbia.
