Nate Silver called it:
“Mike Johnson remains Speaker of the House through 11/3/2026”
We find out by Nov 3, 2026. 42 days to go · on the record 26 days, before anyone knew the answer
MET if Mike Johnson is the sitting Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, per official House records in every period, before 2026-11-03 23:59 (America/New_York).
Settles by documented review of public evidence against these locked criteria; the reviewer is named and the reasoning published.
Resolves YES if Mike Johnson holds the office of Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives continuously from January 26, 2025 through November 3, 2026. Resolves NO if at any point in that window another person holds or is elected to the speakership (a brief vacancy or speaker pro tempore replacing Johnson counts as NO).

✓ The anchored proof cannot be rewritten, and the published record is append-only by default. Everything that happened afterward is in the history above — corrections are appended, never silently edited in.
The check runs in your browser and reads the anchored root straight from a public Base node — not from Thonest. How this works.
