A quick note from the Fact Cave; the issues with the site since Wednesday should all be resolved. Like about 70% of the intertubes, we had some work to do to patch and update our PHP, and that involved turning some pieces off. Unfortunately, announcing “hey we’re not done fixing the massive security hole discovered” kinda paints a target on your servers. We’re kosher now, so accept our apologies. All should be well. We like to think our bot friends are good, but sometimes, sadly, they go bad… youtu.be/JKWpGnaElIU

⏰ 🚨It's been asked, and yes: Donald Trump's post at 8 pm ET today is his longest post ever out of 97,455 cumulative social media posts since 2011. • At 1,321 words, it is 85.79% longer than the next biggest on 9/30 (truthsocial.com/@realdonaldt…) Biggest ever? 🤷‍♂️ For Trump: Yes.

𝗥𝗘𝗧𝗥𝗔𝗖𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡 Argh! While the speech was the longest, @realDonaldTrump only spoke for 89.21% of the event and 92.2% of the words, both BELOW the 95% threshold by our tracking. Our apologies. If you ignore our methodology, it's longest by total time, but not Trump time.

🧵2/2: It's also the 3rd longest speech of EITHER term. Only ones still standing: CPAC 2019 (02:02:35) and a December '19 rally in Battle Creek, Mich. (02:01:12) Bonus fact: 5 of the 10 longest speeches of his 2nd term = this month at rallies.

We're not one to quibble in the Fact Cave, but here's the panorama of the video posted. ±7%, our bot head counter has 397 people in it (see numbers on each head in the zoom). So to give the benefit of the doubt, there's 𝟰𝟮𝟱 people. Not sure "massive"... healthy?
Massive crowd turned out for Trump in Greenville, NC, tonight while Democrats spend every day preaching hate, these people came together for something positive - 10/20/2026

Bonus 3/2: And as we were typing this in the Fact Cave: • 10/14 Bullhead City, AZ • 10/14 Kalispell, MT ... which would seem to answer the question "Is Wasilla, AK a day trip???" (It appears... no).

Unofficial time for Donald Trump in San Antonio: 01:44:20, 29 seconds shy of the RNC midterm speech, but still 3rd longest of this term.

01:44:13 from first word -> thank you, 36 seconds shorter than RNC midterm speech, #3 for term.

Trump just passed his Mount Pocono rally on 12/9/25 and his Congressional speech on 3/4/25. It's the third-longest speech of this term at 100 minutes. 105 minutes would top the RNC midterm speech, and 108 minutes would make it the longest of this term (topping the SOTU '26)

If it's election season, it's folks measuring crowd sizes... the Fact Cave's least-favorite thing. But we got bots for that, viz: We counted 747 in this photo of the crowd in Nebraska. H/T to @alexbrandon for not sparing the pixels. Zoom, each head gets a number. +/-7% in tests

...and yes, ±7% = not perfect. It's better on smaller people (oddly) and yes, it counted about 11 folks on the video screen. But good for an objective back-of-the-envelope, since math is, well, math. And algos, of course, are just awesome.

Trump has a busy week of rallies. In the next seven days, he's doing events in: Nebraska, Maryland, Texas, New York and Tennessee. That's equal to the number done since Labor Day. • Average speaking time: 80.52 minutes • Words per event: 10,904.8 • WPM: 135.43

We're on hours of playing with the America.gov website. Credit where it's due from Fact Cavers: it 𝗜𝗦 "damn good." When's the last time anyone said "Hey {𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘱𝘢𝘯𝘺}, learn customer service from the government?" Can we enfranchise it and elect it to office?

...and a pro tip. It's awesome at obscure government data. Just... awesome. A random case, see image (Uruguay agricultural trade balance time series): GATS is dead-on for this detail... but it's link #6 in google for this query. America.gov nailed it first shot. We look forward to when it can pull the data for the lazy sloths in the Fact Cave vs. making us click, and it doing more agentic stuff (which is listed in the roadmap 🤞🤞🤞 and an API, please!). But just landing at the right place each time...😘 -- the data nerds here are happy. Are we jazzed about a government website? Weird... but yes.
