3. BBC link for you

Democrats are taking control of the US Congress after 12 years as a minority - with a woman at the helm of the House of Representatives for the first time.

Ms Pelosi, who will be referred to as "Madam Speaker", has vowed to clean-up Congress, saying: "It takes a woman to clean house" - a reference to the corruption seen as widespread on Capitol Hill.

7. Works for me.

I was just looking for one with a subject line that says this is the thread.

The House of Representatives is being covered on CSPAN 1, which can be viewed online here:
