From the site: For every day Congress is in session, Capitol Words visualizes the most frequently used words in the Congressional Record, giving you an at-a-glance view of which issues lawmakers address on a daily, weekly, monthly and yearly basis.

Capitol Words lets you see what are the most popular words spoken by lawmakers on the House and Senate floor. But wait, there’s more! Capitol Words also gives you the ability to view with greater granularity which words are most frequently used by Congress as a whole, by state delegation or by specific lawmaker. It also reports on word usage trends: You can search by specific word to see its usage frequency over time, including which lawmakers most mention that term.

You can also compare usage of individual terms (e.g., health vs. education) or groups of terms (e.g., health + education vs. war + terror).You can see who are the most vocal or quietest members of Congress (i.e., those who have the most or least words attributed to them in the Congressional Record, including via extended remarks).

All data, the calendar view of the word of the day and charts showing word usage trends go back to Jan. 2000. Views that attribute word usage to lawmakers date back to Jan. 2007.  Source: Capital Words
