The ghosty trails here are so good! The way the far right of the line whips so much more than the far left? Totally fascinating

A cumulative line chart with the title "About 16% less fentanyl was seized by September 2024 than by September 2023". The chart shows the cumulative amount of fentanyl seized at US borders each year between 2019 and 2023. In 2019 - 2021, annual totals were around between 3 and 10K pounds. In 2022, the annual total was nearly 20K and 2023 the total was around 25K.

Love the examples here! The steps are particularly nice.

My team has been building these types of charts recently to show YTD totals with historical context on pages where the data updates every month.
