A GOP Senate will at least avoid court packing and adding Senate seats for DC and Puerto Rico (for now). We have made real gains in the house, so it will be a very closely-divided house.
How much of a gain?
Still several races yet to be called, but like around a 225-210 Dem majority in the House. Assuming a Republican controlled senate with that close of a margin in the house, it will be difficult for much to happen.
In brighter news, Texas state house will stay Republican, so they will be in charge of redrawing the congressional map. We will get 2 (maybe 3) new house seats, so that it huge for the state and the party to have Republicans controlling that process.
