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.

Immigration authorities can now enter schools, healthcare facilities and places of worship to conduct arrests, according to a new policy from the Department of Homeland Security.

"Criminals will no longer be able to hide in America's schools and churches to avoid arrest," a DHS spokesperson said in a statement. "The Trump administration will not tie the hands of our brave law enforcement, and instead trusts them to use common sense."

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump’s administration is directing that all federal diversity, equity and inclusion staff be put on paid leave, and that agencies develop plans to lay them off, according to a memo Tuesday from the Office of Personnel Management.

Another anti-DEI order.

"Illegal and discriminatory diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) hiring, including on the basis of race, sex, disability, or any other criteria other than the safety of airline passengers and overall job excellence, competency, and qualification, harms all Americans, who deserve to fly with confidence. "

Summary

Donald Trump rescinded sanctions imposed by the Biden administration on Israeli settler groups and individuals accused of violence against Palestinians in the West Bank.

The sanctions, established under Executive Order 14115 in 2024, targeted those "undermining peace, security, and stability" and froze U.S. assets of sanctioned individuals.

This marks a reversa

Let's be clear, John Bolton is an asshole:

That being said, he did work for Trump and accumulated some enemies doing so.

Trump initially pulled his secret service protection back in 2019, which President Biden restored:

This seems to be yet another act of petty retribution against someone who spoke poorly of Trump.

Summary

The Senate confirmed Marco Rubio as U.S. secretary of state on Monday with near-unanimous support, making him the first Latino to hold the position.

Rubio, a former senator and Trump critic turned ally, endorsed Trump’s "America First" foreign policy and highlighted the importance of NATO while advocating for concessions to end the Ukraine war and stronger measures against China over Taiwan.

His confirmation reflects a dramatic shift in his relationship with Trump since their contentious 2016 primary battle.

Rubio's nomination faced minimal resistance, apart from protests labeling him a "war hawk."

I posted two videos that did a better job of explaining the brazen scam that this is but they were removed because of a no video policy. This article will have to do.

Vivek Ramaswamy has stepped down from co-leading President Donald Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), according to the Associated Press. The official line as to why Ramaswamy is moving on is that he plans to run for elected office — he reportedly intends to run for Ohio governor.

“Vivek Ramaswamy played a critical role in helping us create DOGE,” spokesperson Anna Kelly says in the statement to the Associated Press. “He intends to run for elected office soon, which requires him to remain outside of DOGE, based on the structure that we announced today. We thank him immensely for his contributions over the last 2 months and expect him to play a vital role in making America great again.”
