I have no plan here. I glanced at ...Ra8, ....Bd6 and ....Qd6 and couldn't find anything convincing. I will just vote along with whoever comes up with an idea (even a bad idea).

My vote : 26 ... Bd6.

Qd6 looks really bad. It overloads our queen and increases our back rank weakness and threatens to permit b4 soon.

Matthias.
My engine was quite strong till I added knowledge to it.

The move could be either Bd6 or Bc3 As both made a partial blockade of b4 square. Bd6 should be better because it keeps the pressure in h2 so the white queen could not move yet. I suppose the machine will play Reb2 or Bd2. Against either move Bb4.

I vote for 26........Bd6.
I suspect that the Tasc might then play 27.h3 intending Qg4 with renewed threats against g6.
