A #DurhamNC political ally has a technical question:

I should know the answer to this, but is there software that can map news sites /Google for frequency of a word relative to other words? For instance, the word “border” is suddenly spiking in all my feeds. Appears to be a huge distractor, fed of course by Con News, and I’d like to know other specific instances where it happened. As I recall we heard it a lot every time Biden had a success during his first six months or so. I bet it would be an interesting graph.

This seems like the sort of thing @dredmorbius might know about...
