How this works

  • One rule for every source. Each night we take the newest 3 items from each source below that we have not analyzed before, and run them through the same model and thresholds as everything else on this site; official accounts on X are read every 10 minutes and each new post is analyzed the same way. Every one is listed, flagged or not.
  • Both parties, the same way. In each chamber the majority and minority leader are side by side. We do not publish rates by party: a week of one leader's floor speeches and another's press statements are not comparable, and the page is not a scoreboard.
  • What a finding is. A rhetorical technique is a way language is used to persuade — not a claim that a statement is false. Findings include language a source is quoting, and the model over-reads ceremonial language (tributes, anniversaries, mission statements) as persuasion. Treat each finding as a prompt to read the original.
