Enjoyable, but after several months I'd forgotten what this is about. It would be great if there was an info box that came up when hovering over the asterisk that explained what it was for.

Can we also add an asterisk - perhaps an orange one - for anyone who was a political appointee of the 45 administration? Including judges, or course.

Interesting idea! It seems to work as advertised, but I'm writing to request a small edit so that it will include my congressman, Rob Wittman (VA-1). The pattern match is looking for his official name, "Robert J. Wittman," but he always goes by "Rob Wittman."
