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.

Companies should openly refuse to hire white men and see how long this lasts.

Had to look up what Executive Order 11246 did.

The executive action was signed by President Lyndon B. Johnson on September 24, 1965, establishing requirements for non-discriminatory practices in hiring and employment on the part of U.S. government contractors. As amended, it prohibited "federal contractors and subcontractors and federally-assisted construction contractors and subcontractors that generally have contracts that exceed $10,000 from discriminating in employment decisions on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, or national origin."[1] It also required contractors to "take affirmative action to ensure that applicants are employed, and that employees are treated during employment, without regard to their race, creed, color, or national origin."

Are they really going through everything all the way back to the 60ies to erase anything and everything Civil Rights-related? It just seems so petty.

Well guess I won't be getting a job again. Are they for real? Please tell me a judge will strike this down? If this allowed a lot people are about start losing their jobs.

That’s the problem. EOs can get done and undone on the whim of a president. Congress needs to make these things laws, but they have been paralyzed(seemingly by design) forever

By Republicans using the non speaking filibuster.

After undoing an executive order from 1965 workplace discrimination based upon race, color, religion, sex, or national origin are once again permitted. We sure made America great didn't we?

[–] Arbiter@lemmy.world 17 points 1 day ago

That’s what “great” always meant.

You probably missed the little "w" in MAGA: Make white America Great Again.

FAFO. This plan of action couldn't have been clearer, better communicated not more anticipated, yet many women and minorities voted for Trump. They're certainly no less to blame than the rest of the choads who voted for Trump, but their self-inflicted wounds hopefully are needed by those around them enough to shake them out of their torpor.

FAFO.

It’s almost like the core concept of executive orders is stupid as fuck.

[–] SkybreakerEngineer@lemmy.world -5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

How exactly do you expect a normal president to run the government?

[–] Arbiter@lemmy.world 5 points 22 hours ago

Honestly a president seems like an antiquated concept.

Fuckin... What?

This is going to help the ~~Billionaire Donors~~ Working Class!

Welp... I think this a green light to start fucking your slaves, if you are a daddy owner that is.

Trump should do the IRS next, why should a non w2 income earner have to pay taxes anyway?

Let these chads live their best lives, they earned it.

[–] Bacano@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago

I predict a lot of delinquent taxes in the next few months, followed by comically harsh punishments only applicable to the bottom 90 percent of income earners.

I'm sick and tired of these lazy mexicans who can't put a simple lithium ion battery in the back of an aluminum alloy body with "ultra high strength steel" which I personally designed and fabricated when I wasn't smoking meth.

I hate this timeline.
