Introducing the Trump Action Tracker website! -- Christine Pagel

https://christinapagel.substack.com/p/introducing-the-trump-action-tracker

Today I’m launching TrumpActionTracker.info - a live, searchable list of authoritarian‑style actions from Trump’s second term (over 740 actions so far).

I’ve been doing my best to track actions of the Trump administration that are authoritarian-like since the start of his second term in January 2025. In February 2025, I introduced five broad domains of authoritarianism the covered recorded actions:

Undermining Democratic Institutions & Rule of Law; Dismantling federal government

Dismantling Social Protections & Rights; Enrichment & Corruption

Suppressing Dissent & Controlling Information

Attacking Science, Environment, Health, Arts & Education

Aggressive Foreign Policy & Global Destabilization; Nationalism


I then mapped the actions onto a Venn Diagram. Since then, I have continued writing about further actions, and groups of actions since, such as attacks on science, universities, democracy, and suppressing dissent. However, as the number of authoritarian-like actions has continued to grow (now at more than 740), I wanted to create a web resource that lets anyone explore the actions I am logging. With the help of two amazing volunteers Sandy Laping (who helps me find actions to log) and Pete Duncanson (who built the website), this is now live at trumpactiontracker.info!
