Visualizing @ WHCOS — #1

An ongoing text network viz of White House Chief of Staff Ron Klain’s Twitter Feed

--

NBC News recently noted @ WHCOS “Ron Klain has one of the busiest jobs in D.C. — and one of the most active Twitter feeds, too”

CNN said:

“Ron Klain emerges as a force behind the scenes — and on Twitter”

“Unusually visible, involved in practically everything, and free in sharing his opinions on what has become the new administration’s must-follow Twitter feed, White House chief of staff Ron Klain has emerged as the building’s most central figure aside from the President himself.”

Just for kicks, let’s do an ongoing series of visualizations of his feed and see what we pick up.
