Neither party, in American politics at least.
On October 10, 2007: Senate majority floor leader is a Democrat; Senate minority floor leader is a Republican. This may or may not change in the near future. The answer depends on which party held the most seats after the last election; if any senators died in office and were replaced by their home state Governor - who may or may not be from the dead senator's political party; if a senator happens to switch political parties after election (which has hapened).
A hostile senate is one in which the Opposition holds the power, thus making it difficult for the Government's bills and legislation to be passed. Kevin Rudd's Labor Party faces this situation until July 2008, when the new senate determined at the last election sits.
Technically, there are no executive powers held by the Senate. Executive powers are those held by the President of the United States. The powers that the Senate holds are: to try the President on impeachment, but not to impeach him, the power to approve treaties by a 2/3 vote and make amendments to already approved votes, and the power approve of the appoints of many government officials. The last power that our Senate holds is in declaring war. However, in most aspects of the government system, all powers are shared between the different branches of government. For example, the Senate may declare war, but the President is Commander-in-Chief and must share the decision making process. The Senate may also hold trials for it's own members if rules have been broken, but only four members have been successfully convicted of crimes and most resign before being dismissed from the Senate.
The last time there was a filibuster-proof Senate was more than 30 years ago in 1977, during President Jimmy Carter's administration.
Since 1950 the majority party has either been the Democrats or the Republicans. Neither party has held the majority in the Senate for the last 60 years. Currently, the Democrats hold the majority, but, that will probably change sometime in the future as it always had in the past.
The Democrat Party has had the majority in Congress for the longest duration over the last 40 years. Out of the last 22 Congresses they have had the majority 12 times in the Senate and 14 times in the House.
The last election was November 8, 2016.
In the last election, the Democrat Party continued control of the US Senate. (as of Jan 2013.)

In their last two U.S. Senate elections (2010 & 2012) they had one candidate from each party, so it appears not.
I am not entirely sure if it is. . . I would reword it to "The party was at my friend's house last." No, "kept" is not the correct verb, "held" should be used.
It was controlled by Democrats the first 2 years, and by Republicans for the last 6 years.
The month actually varies by year. The incumbent party has their convention last.

Ultimately, it was Octavian/Augustus.Immediately after Caesar's death, Marc Antony held the authority. That didn't last long however, and the senate tried to take over but again with little success. Finally the second triumvirate was formed and those three men held the authority until it fell apart and Octavian won out.Ultimately, it was Octavian/Augustus.Immediately after Caesar's death, Marc Antony held the authority.
