About
The Project is a permanent, commentary-free record of the second Trump administration's actions - built to make what's happening easy to find, hard to dispute, and impossible to quietly rewrite. We collect the original reporting, preserve it, and get out of the way.
A lot happens in a presidential administration, and most of it competes for attention with whatever is loudest that day. Consequential actions - rules changed, agencies reshaped, money moved, people appointed or removed - often surface for a single news cycle and then vanish under the next wave of takes. The underlying record gets hard to reconstruct.
The Project is a deliberately boring corrective. We don't decide what matters or curate a watchlist. Contributors from across the political spectrum forward the reporting they come across about the second Trump administration, and we post it - after removing duplicates and confirming each item is real, verifiable, and genuinely related to the administration. That is the entire extent of our involvement, and we stake our reputation on it. Each entry links straight to its original source. We collect and preserve; we don't editorialize.
Because the archive is built from what people actually choose to flag, it works as a barometer - a bottom-up read on what engaged Americans are paying attention to, including the consequential stories that fell through the cracks of mainstream coverage. The mix reflects the contributors, not us. The entries are just the reporting, linked and dated, for you to read and judge.
Contributors forward articles they come across. Our tooling parses each submission, pulls the real headline and source, removes duplicates, and files it into a clean timeline you can search and skim. We confirm each item is from a real, verifiable source and actually concerns the administration; false or unverifiable submissions don't make the cut. Beyond that, we don't pick and choose. Nothing is generated or rewritten by AI; the archive only ever points to reporting that already exists.
Researchers, journalists, students, and anyone who wants to check the record for themselves rather than take someone's word for it. If you can cite it, fact-check against it, or follow a story's timeline through it, it's doing its job.
Every entry is a pointer to third-party reporting; we don't vouch for any single outlet, and we encourage readers to evaluate sources critically. As links age, some may move or go offline - we work to preserve access to archived copies so the record stays reachable over time.
News links break. Articles get moved, paywalled, quietly edited, or pulled down entirely, and a citation that points to a dead page is worth little. To guard against that, we capture a snapshot of each source through the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine as it enters the archive.
Alongside the live link, you'll see a small "archived copy" link that points to that preserved snapshot. If the original ever disappears or changes, the version we recorded remains available, exactly as it read when we logged it. It is one more way the record stays hard to lose and hard to quietly rewrite.
