Trends
Attention, not merit. These boards measure coverage volume — how much the press writes about an official or an issue, deduplicated across republished wire copy. A spike means “in the news,” not “doing well” or “doing badly.” Tagging is imperfect; treat signals as directional. Every name links to the reporting behind the number.
