Trending

What members of Congress are talking about now, and how it’s changing. Word stems pulled from release titles across the U.S. Senate and U.S. House; trajectories use full text (title + body) with stemming.

Stems collapse simple plurals (e.g. family/families). Numbers are release-count, not raw word frequency, so a single release that uses a word ten times still counts once.
