Majel’s voice would ultimately provide inspiration to the tech teams developing early AI projects that would emerge over subsequent years — indeed, Amazon’s early Alexa model was code-named “Majel.” Even before her passing, says Rod, “Someone approached her to be the voice of their upcoming computer thing, and she had said no. And I was like, ‘What, are you crazy?’” He nevertheless had his mother professionally record her voice and, working with the company OTOY, has created a working model he’d hopes to make available free to fans.
“I would love to somehow get her voice out there. My intention was never to profit off it, for it to just get out there,” he says. “I wouldn’t be giving them the voice of the computer. I’d be giving them a voice of Majel Roddenberry.”
Excellent.

❓ WHAT HAPPENED: Olax Outis, also known as Caspar San Giorgi, was acquitted of criminal damage charges after defacing the Winston Churchill statue in London’s Parliament Square with red spray paint. The foreign activist, who wore a suit with a slogan endorsing the banned Palestine Action terror organization during the vandalism, claimed his actions were part of a protest against British policies regarding Gaza.
📍 WHEN & WHERE: The incident occurred on February 27, 2026, in Parliament Square, central London. The trial concluded at Southwark Crown Court on October 23, 2026.
💬 KEY QUOTE: “Whether you convict me or not is not too much of a concernfor me. Whether I get acquitted, deported, imprisoned for years, I can be proudof having spoken about injustice, and I have accounted for my actions.” – Olax Outis during his trial
🎯 IMPACT: The case highlights the increasing difficulty of securing convictions in high-diversity, left-leaning areas, even when the evidence is overwhelming.
📰 DETAIL: Outis spray-painted phrases such as “Stop the Genocide” and “Free Palestine” on the statue. He argued in court that the paint was washable and his actions were intended to send a message to Parliament. Prosecutors alleged the damage exceeded £7,000 ($9,400), but the jury ultimately sided with the activist.
📺 FLASHBACK: The Churchill statue has previously been targeted during Black Lives Matter protests, sparking national debates about its symbolism, rising anti-British sentiment, and the erosion of social cohesion in the United Kingdom following mass migration.

Dig this big crux
During the 2025-2026 congressional sessions, several significant pieces of legislation were passed that showcased deep partisan divisions. The key issues included:
- Budget Proposals
- Healthcare Reforms
- Voting Rights
The voting patterns on these issues were characterized by strong party-line divisions, with Democrats and Republicans largely voting in alignment with their party’s stance. This trend reflects the ongoing polarization in Congress, where bipartisan support has become increasingly rare.
Summary of Votes
| Legislative Issue | Party Support | Key Points |\
| Budget Proposals | Mostly along party lines | Significant disagreements on funding allocations and priorities. |\
| Healthcare Reforms | Divided by party | Controversial changes to existing healthcare policies. |\
| Voting Rights | Strong partisan divide | Debates over access to voting and election integrity measures. |

Executive Summary
The evidence shows multiple plausible answers depending on how one defines “dominate.” Recent sources most commonly point to the Democrats’ control of both chambers during the 117th Congress (January 3, 2021–January 3, 2023) as the last time they held unified congressional control, while earlier notable periods include the 111th Congress (2009–2011) and historically larger majorities like the 89th Congress after 1964. The statement therefore requires clarification of terms—“dominate” can mean simple majority, large supermajority, or sustained multi-decade control—to be answered precisely
factually.co/…/when-did-democrats-last-dominate-c…
Contemporary records and syntheses within the provided analyses indicate the 117th Congress (Jan 3, 2021–Jan 3, 2023) as the latest period when Democrats held both chambers, with a House majority and a Senate majority realized through a 50–50 split and the Vice President’s tiebreaking vote. This configuration coincided with the Biden administration and enabled the Democratic leadership to pass key legislation during early 2021, illustrating functional control despite narrow margins. Reliable repositories of congressional composition and institutional histories corroborate this timing as the most recent instance of unified party control in Congress cited across multiple analyses, making the 117th the default answer when “dominate” is used to mean holding both chambers —————————————————-
That was after the republicans facilitated a global pandemic. The time before that was after the republicans destroyed the global economy. The time before that was before most of you were born: —————————————————————
3. Earlier high-water marks: 111th Congress and the 1964 landslide
If “dominate” implies a more comfortable majority or a legislative supermajority enabling broad agenda-setting, earlier periods fit better. The 111th Congress (2009–2011) provided Democrats with substantial House and Senate margins that facilitated major policy initiatives during the Obama administration, and analyses explicitly call this a recent example of decisive Democratic control [4]. Going further back, the 89th Congress following the 1964 electiondelivered the largest Democratic majorities since the New Deal era, enabling the passage of transformative legislation associated with President Lyndon Johnson’s agenda. Historical accounts position the 1964–1965 period as a classic instance of one-party dominance in Congress, distinct from the narrow 2021–2023 control
