Per @voxgov, over 9,000 mentions of coronavirus in the last thirty days with a huge spike in the last week. After @HHSGov, @DeptofDefense is the Federal agency most vocal on the topic.
@MTPFirstRead@mmurraypolitics As the graph below tracking volume of documents since April of 2016 will show, the GOP was extremely vocal about sanctioning Russia at two points but has been mostly silent on the issue for two years..
I want to know who these people are. Can anyone help? These are kids - for real, they're kids - most of them in the final minutes of their lives, if there's anything they deserve it's for us to know who they are. Anyone?
The last 30 days of "Mueller Report" mentions in Democratic vs GOP government sources, and the top terms and hashtags contained in the related documents. #MuellerReport
OTD in 1792: George Washington makes the first use of the Presidential veto in American history, determining that an apportionate bill violated constitutional guidelines for setting the number of delegates in the House.
#NATOEngages and #NATOat70 are two of the top ten trending hashtags in US government sources over the past 24 hours, pointing to 70 years of @NATO and its leading role in managing global conflict and security.
Storyline tells in timeline graphs on tariffs: Huge red spikes in publishing on the issue disproportionately reflect GOP dissent, not support for White House actions on tariffs.
"Media literacy" is one of the top trending terms in US government docs over the past 24 hours, buttressed by hashtags #FactCheckingDay and #StopReflectVerify. Somewhat unfortunate that this coincided w #AprilFools - the top trending hashtag.
Today in the history of governing: In 1789, in #NYC, Frederick Muhlenberg, of Pennsylvania becomes the first Speaker of the House of Representatives. The sequence of House leadership has been a long and fascinating walk from there to @SpeakerPelosi
March 30 is a big day for big states. In 1867, Sec of State William Seward bought #Alaska from Russia for $7.2M. Ridiculed at the time as "Seward's folly", obviously a smart move in retrospect and one Russia wishes they cld take back. Also, in 1870 #Texas became a state.
Novel thinking in ancient #GovDocs: The 6th century Code of Justinian made it legal for women to unilaterally divorce their husbands, partly on the grounds that it would reduce instances of poisoning. The first version of the Code will be 1,490 years old this April 7.
The @Boeing Company surfaces more than any source in US government documents, a whopping 98,813 mentions. Unsurprisingly, the highest number coming from the DoT.
The accounting firms that get the most mentions in US government documents:
- @KPMG (6,430)
- @Pwc (6,402)
- @Deloitte (5,839)
- @EYnews (5,192)
Unsurprisingly, big drop from there.
OTD in 1872, #Yellowstone became the world's first national park, the earliest effort in the trail-blazing American practice of protecting lands of unique natural beauty. The park surfaces in nearly 150,000 US Federal documents, more than 4,000 of those mentions from the @NPCA
Something called "undeclared milk" turns up in today's Compliance key words. Turns out that a product selling "ready to eat Cheddar Smoked Sausage" and "Original Smoked Sausage" was not disclosing milk product. Havoc for the dairy free eater who loves ready to eat sausage.
