Keeping Track of the 2nd Trump administration!

One thing Donald Trump and the extreme right were very good at doing is burying the track record of his first presidency from 2017 to 2021.

Keep Track is dedicated to literally keeping track, day by day, of the policy decisions made by the new Trump Administration.

That is not to say we're interested in the crazy things he says or tweets, he clocked over 30,000 lies the last time he was in office, I don't see how it's possible to track all of that. This is about POLICY. Nominees, executive orders, signed laws, and so on.

Subject line format should be {{date}} {{event}} so: "01-20-2025 - Trump is sworn in."

The international date format of 2025-01-20 is also acceptable!

Links should be to verifiable news sources, not social media or blog sites. So no Xitter/Truth/Youtube/Substack/etc. etc.

Officially blaming the aircraft incident in D.C., without founding, on DEI:

"This shocking event follows problematic and likely illegal decisions during the Obama and Biden Administrations that minimized merit and competence in the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). The Obama Administration implemented a biographical questionnaire at the FAA to shift the hiring focus away from objective aptitude. During my first term, my Administration raised standards to achieve the highest standards of safety and excellence. But the Biden Administration egregiously rejected merit-based hiring, requiring all executive departments and agencies to implement dangerous “diversity equity and inclusion” tactics, and specifically recruiting individuals with “severe intellectual” disabilities in the FAA."

I can already hear the people that had conspiracy theories about FEMA camps totally supporting this massive detention center in a place that has proven to have a spotty record of human rights violations.

This one needs a little context as the headline isn't exactly clear:

"S. 5, the “Laken Riley Act,” which requires the Secretary of Homeland Security to take into custody aliens who have been charged in the United States with theft, and for other purposes."

Trump also stated his intention when signing the law to house the worst offenders at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, stating that we have 30,000 beds there ready to go.

“We have 30,000 beds in Guantanamo to detain the worst criminal aliens threatening the American people,” the president said.

The move would immediately “double” U.S. detention lockup capacities, he said. Guantanamo, he added, is “a tough place to get out of.”

I'm sure this won't cause a humanitarian healthcare crisis that will spill into the rest of the world population.

Actual headline buried the lead. The headline: "US, Colombia clash over deportations and raise tariffs in show of Trump's pledge to limit migration
