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

I know this is a US-centric subject but as it’s also of international interest (and Lemmy an international platform in general), may I suggest ISO 8601 as date format? In your example this would be “2025-01-20” instead of “01-20-2025”. The goal is to have an unambiguous format for dates with a day in the 1–12 range like February 1.
As most of the events are going to be happening inside the US, it makes sense to use the US date format, but I have no objection to that date format. I’ll update the sidebar.
what happened on ninth of November?
Strikes me as being an important anniversary of something… Oh yeah! Trumps first win! :)

whatthefuckjusthappenedtoday.com is useful for something similar too. They started it during the first Trump administration and just kept going.
Hey, this (newsletter) actually curtails doomscrolling if you stop after the first paragraph.
