NEW: It’s a familiar pattern: Trump announces a new policy on Truth Social. News alerts are sent out. Lawmakers issue statements. Furor ensues. And then ... nothing. In today’s newsletter, I investigate: how often do Trump policies announced on social media actually happen?

h/t to @FactbaseFeed and @billfrisch for some telling numbers for this one rollcall.com/2026/02/06/trum…

Count the qualifiers: Trump’s week became another presidential talk-a-thon

ANALYSIS — Donald Trump is capping off another week in which he had to qualify many of his bold statements, while keeping his actual policy intentions masked or vague over a tidal wave of president...

Russian govt sent a plane from St. Petersburg to Washington, DC to bring home 12 Russians expelled from the U.S., officials in both countries say. Russia calls them “diplomats,” US officials call them intelligence agents.

NEWS: @USNatArchives has released letter to @OversightDems advising "that the Trump Admin did not fully capture, and therefore NARA did not receive, all of the Presidential records created by Trump & WH staff that were posted on social media platforms" >> archives.gov/files/foia/ferr…

Extremists, shut off from social media, have increasingly turned to Infowars to reach a sympathetic audience. People who led the Proud Boys or Oath Keepers went on Infowars about 5 dozen times in two years, per transcripts compiled by @FactbaseFeed. wsj.com/articles/proud-boys-…

Proud Boys and Oath Keepers, Forceful on Jan. 6, Privately Are in Turmoil

The far-right groups face a financial squeeze, internal discord, social-media cutoff and isolation from the financial system.

Something in my inbox tells me that former Rep. Barbara Comstock is about to get a lot more TV bookings.

One more data point per @FactbaseFeed: From early 2019 thru election week 2020, Trump averaged roughly 40,000 spoken words per week. Biden just spoke about 64,000 words in a month. So there are fewer false claims per word, but also fewer claims period. xitter.cf/ddale8/status/13642313…

Biden has been quieter than Trump not only qualitatively but quantitatively. Per @FactbaseFeed, Biden spoke 34% fewer public post-inaugural words in his first month than Trump did in his first month. (And if you compare to more recent Trump months, the decline is much steeper.)

Got some data from @FactbaseFeed on what past presidents were doing in their last weeks in office. Other presidents were ... a little busier. washingtonpost.com/politics/…

Analysis | How Trump’s ‘many meetings’ final-days schedule compares with past presidents

If it weren’t for the attempted insurrection, Trump wouldn’t be doing much at all.

Part of what makes this record-breaking stretch of silence from President Trump so disconcerting is that he went from 5 speeches a day...to just nothing. Thanks to @FactbaseFeed for visualizing it, and verifying that it is a record.

There was a small crowd due to limits on large gatherings meant to slow the spread of COVID. The Trump campaign said this about it yday: “Thanks to the free speech-stifling dictates of Gov. Tim Walz and Attorney General Keith Ellison, only the first 250 people will be admitted.”

New record for @realDonaldTrump. 21 minutes, 49 seconds in Rochester, MN. That's officially the shortest in-person campaign rally of his presidency. Next closest: 37 min, 55 sec in Nashville on March 15, 2017. Transcript coming faster than normal. factba.se/live

With 25 Sirs at last night's rally in Tulsa, Trump fell just shy of his Sir record of 27, according to @FactbaseFeed data. He set the record at a Greenville, NC rally last year, during which he uttered 19 Sirs in a single story.

Per data from @FactbaseFeed, Trump uttered fewer public words last week (13,429) than in any week for more than five months -- since the week at the end of December and beginning of January, when he was on holiday in Florida.

Trump's sentences are so convoluted, he once broke an AI bot designed to interpret them. But the bot has gotten stronger. Meet Margaret, the Trump interpreter, brought to you by @Noahbierman latimes.com/politics/story/2…
