Where language spread this window
D Democrats
Peak 45 offices on 2026-06-30.
Democrats (solid line) Republicans (dashed line)
R Republicans
Peak 33 offices on 2026-07-22.
Democrats (solid line) Republicans (dashed line)
How these two were chosen: for each party independently, code takes that party's phrase with the highest single-day office count in the trailing 90 days, counting only phrases that reached at least 15 offices on some day in that window. Ties go to the earlier first appearance, then to the alphabetically first identifier. No model chooses, and neither party's pick constrains the other's.
How this is counted
Participation in eligible message claims
Each measure keeps one count unit from numerator through denominator.
D
- Office participation: 4 offices of 47 offices. Window: party-day 2026-08-26. Method: participation-measures-v1.
- Publication participation: 4 publications of 58 publications. Window: party-day 2026-08-26. Method: participation-measures-v1.
- Document-family participation: 3 document families of 53 document families. Window: party-day 2026-08-26. Method: participation-measures-v1.
R
- Office participation: 0 offices of 22 offices. Window: party-day 2026-08-26. Method: participation-measures-v1.
- Publication participation: 0 publications of 24 publications. Window: party-day 2026-08-26. Method: participation-measures-v1.
- Document-family participation: 0 document families of 24 document families. Window: party-day 2026-08-26. Method: participation-measures-v1.
These two bases differ. Office counts come from the day's eligible caucus offices in the nightly symmetry audit; publication counts come from the day's source publications. A joint release is one publication and can carry several offices, so the two never have to agree.

Raw observations remain available in the experimental exports.
Nightly symmetry audit: nightly symmetry audit. Every distilled claim above is citation-backed.
Repeated phrase observations
This table lists repeated phrase observations, ranked by how many members used the same exact phrase. It is not filtered to coordinated messages, so it can include official names, procedural formulas, and biographical phrasing, not only messages. The sparkline is the phrase's 14-day trajectory.
Each party’s own most-synchronized phrases, ranked within the party so the larger caucus can’t fill the table — every count travels with its caucus denominator.
D repeated phrases
- 5 of 257 (1.9%) of justice doj
- 5 of 257 (1.9%) wrote the senators
- 4 of 257 (1.6%) take the following
- 4 of 257 (1.6%) urge you to take

- 3 of 257 (1.2%) threats and violence against palestinians including
- 3 of 257 (1.2%) large-scale response by israeli security forces
R repeated phrases
- No phrase reached the threshold for this party today.
Each table is one party measured against that party's own caucus, so row counts are not comparable across the two. Differences in how much each party publishes are measured in the nightly symmetry audit, not here. See the nightly symmetry audit.
