@IanPrchlik @lukewines Hi Ian -- This piece uses (and includes links to) FiveThirtyEight data going back to the first Trump admin. Beyond that, I'd recommend CQ Roll Call's vote studies. They have an extensive historical database of presidential agreement using similar very methodology.

@tsyang27 @lukewines Do we happen to have this data for other admins?

Excited to carry on the Trump Score name with @VoteHub! I gathered Trump's positions on 282 floor votes in 2025 to calculate how often each member of Congress agreed with the president, and dug into what issues and dynamics have dominated floor action in Trump's second term. 🧵

@kunkel_dan23596 @VoteHub Hi Daniel, The last section and chart in the article provide comparisons to previous years. High agreement w/in the majority has become an increasing norm in *both* parties over recent years.

@tsyang27 @VoteHub Hello Tia, has your team been able to complete similar analysis for past administrations? Would be helpful to provide context and comparison. Trumpers will immediately ask us to prove that these margins are unique.

And dig into the data to see how your lawmaker voted in 2025 using the full interactive (by @lukewines and Lauren Kim) here: votehub.com/trump-score /8

🚨 NEW from VoteHub: the Trump Score 🚨 Trump's influence over Congress in 2025 was massive. @tsyang27 shows who followed and who defied. In the tradition of FiveThirtyEight’s presidential agreement projects. 🧵

@msquared517 In Pennsylvania, this was calculated as the total votes cast in the 3 Supreme Court retention elections, divided by 3. (2/2)

@msquared517 Hi Matt, thanks for reading! So that we could consistently compare turnout results to historical elections where complete turnout results by county are not available, turnout was calculated as the total votes for the ballot item(s) at the top of the ticket. (1/2)

In a new analysis for @VoteHub, @marywitha4 and I dug into county-level turnout in VA, PA, and NJ to explore off-year turnout trends, and how electorates changed after the 2016 election. (Spoiler: suburban voters love to vote.)

@tsyang27 and I got to add a few more years for one of my favorite charts I’ve ever conceived of. Behold, the urban density spikey charts for PA and VA. And check out the piece below for more turnout analysis, also featuring NJ!

Check it out here: votehub.com/2026/01/27/off… And thanks to @lukewines for helping bring these beautiful visuals to life!

🚨 NEW—Off-year turnout hit a 20-year high in 2025. Following the same method as their 2023 analysis at 538, @tsyang27 and @marywitha4 analyzed data from PA, VA, and NJ to see how off-year electorates have evolved in recent cycles. Full breakdown below 👇

Some news for '26: Last month was my final at @ABC. Grateful for the fantastic career highlights & a lot of fun along the way. I'm now sorting out what's next -- if you’re hiring or know someone who is, send them my way. brittanylrshepherd@gmail.com

Things that were not on my bingo card today lol

@AndrewSolender I used to bring new reporters to this little platform where two staircases lead to a round carpeted area and six unlabeled doors.

thinking of starting a gimmick account that documents the capitol’s various liminal spaces
