Trump Actions

In the hopes that those who supported, voted for and then celebrated his victory will take full ownership for all of his actions both good and bad over the next 4 years.

My original intent for this page was to capture every action, but Trump is flooding the zone. It's hard to keep up. If you see anything I missed, please let me know.

New Yorker: The Data Hoarders Resisting Trump's Purge - From the article:

"The deletions began shortly after Donald Trump took office. C.D.C. web pages on vaccines, H.I.V. prevention, and reproductive health went missing. Findings on bird-flu transmission vanished minutes after they appeared. The Census Bureau’s public repository went offline, then returned without certain directories of geographic information. The Department of Justice expunged the January 6th insurrection from its website, and whitehouse.gov took down an explainer page about the Constitution. On February 7th, Trump sacked the head of the National Archives and Records Administration, the agency that maintains the official texts of the nation’s laws, and whose motto is “the written word endures.”

Trump/Musk are carrying on a digital book burning.
