Trending

What U.S. senators are talking about now — and how it’s changing. Word stems pulled from release titles; 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.
