I remember there being a website that listed all the good things Obama had done for people who constantly said he did nothing good, I'm hoping there's a place archiving all the stuff Trump is doing because it's hard to keep track of it all as an individual.

Anyone? Google is not helping me at all.

There is !keeptrack@lemmy.world but mostly they are posting links to items on whitehouse.gov and those will disappear.

    That's not a great solution in the long or even relatively short run. I might fight with ChatGPT until it spits out a python script that can do something to archive all this.

    Couldn't we just use archive.org?
    Not sure about tracking changes, but there is probably something pretty much finished for that existing already

    Edit: There are at least some APIs and tools that seem quite handy
    https://archive.org/developers/index-apis.html

    And some bash scripts on GitHub to use archive.org:

    I just did a quick search, there's probably something better already existing, but have never looked into that space before

    Went live recently and seems to be hugged to death currently but hopefully it'll be back up soon!

    I'm not on a computer, but several orgs have ramped up to focus on his abuses. Both in tracking and legal pursuit... Unfortunately I'm not remembering who right at the moment. I'll try and look later.

    Ones that came up so far:

    • ACLU
    • Democracy Forward
    • Protect Democracy
    • Campaign Legal Center
    • Human Rights Watch

    I started hunting more after my previous post and found thisBrownstein link that has this list of his Executive Orders in google docs.

    I'm wondering if other previous orgs are likely to revive, like: https://trumphumanrightstracker.law.columbia.edu/
