The push alerts of the first 100 days of the Trump administration

We downloaded all push alerts sent to the Associated Press’ mobile app between noon on Jan. 20 and will be updating through 11:59 p.m. on April 29. We ran the text of these alerts through a model called BAAI general embedding to vectorize it. We then ran a similarity search over the vectors, using a FAISS index, and boosted the specific terms “Trump” and “U.S. government.” This project includes push alerts with a similar score of at least 0.4. We checked results against the complete list of push alerts, manually adding 35 whose similarity scores were narrowly under the threshold but that were relevant to Trump’s actions. Finally, we manually sorted the alerts into two sets of categories, the first defining whether it was an action or reaction and from where and the second related to the topic. Any statements made by Donald Trump that took effect, such as delaying tariffs, were classified as “administrative action.”
