I’ve been very impressed by the various Trump trackers being produced by news organizations, nonprofits and individuals, each monitoring and summarizing developments in areas they care about the most.

Here’s my working list as of May 2, 2025:

• The Data Rescue Project’s Data Rescue Tracker provides a consolidated overview of who is backing up which dataset from which government websites, preserving them in case they get deleted.
• Public Citizen’s Corporate Enforcement Tracker lists ongoing federal investigations and cases against alleged corporate wrongdoing that are being dropped, weakened, or otherwise modified by the Trump administration.
• Two researchers are tracking NIH Grant Terminations in 2025.
• CREW is Tracking Trump’s unprecedented—often illegal—firings of political appointees and watchdogs.
• Just Security maintains a particularly excellent Litigation Tracker: Legal Challenges to Trump Administration Actions.
• Just Security also keeps up-to-date its Timeline: Politicization and Weaponization of Justice Department in Second Trump Administration
• Inside Higher Ed’s International Student Visas Revoked database tracks international students and recent graduates who have had their legal status changed by the State Department.
• Lots of folks are tracking the employees of Elon Musk’s DOGE group. They include ProPublica, the Washington Post, the New York Times, and the Revolving Door Project.
• The Revolving Door Project also has an Inspectors General Tracker and a U.S. Attorneys Tracker.
• Georgetown University Law Center students are maintaining a Legal Industry Responses to Fascist Attacks Tracker, detailing which law firms have “caved” and which have stood up to the Trump regime.
• The United States Disappeared Tracker tracks people who are deported, detained or renditioned for political reasons by the Trump administration. It’s maintained by an independent data analyst.
• Stat News keeps A running list of senior FDA officials who have left the agency. (We need one for every agency.)
• The Hechinger Report publishes Tracking Trump: His actions to dismantle the Education Department, and more
• The Economic Policy Institute’s Federal Policy Watch tracks how the Trump administration, Congress, and the courts are affecting workers’ quality of life.
• Climate Action Campaign hosts a Trump’s Climate and Clean Energy Rollback Tracker.
• The Sabin Center for Climate Change Law at Columbia Law School compiles a Climate Backtracker, which identifies steps being taken to scale back or wholly eliminate federal climate mitigation and adaptation measures.
• The GLAAD Trump Accountability Tracker monitors Trump’s LGBTQ record and history including executive orders, legislative support, nominations and statements.
• The Data Foundation publishes a monthly Evidence Capacity Pulse Report tracking dramatic changes to federal data, analysis, statistics, and evaluation functions.
• The HHS RIF running list keeps tabs of the Department of Health and Human Services offices that have been gutted or eliminated. It’s run by newsletter author Marisa Kabas.
• Devex has a US aid tracker: Following Trump’s cuts to international development, which monitors the impact on development staff as Trump realigns government policies and priorities
• There are some generalized daily Trump trackers as well. Rima Regas’s hobby is publishing a daily news rundown of Things Musk (and Trump) Did. Olga Lautman publishes the daily Trump Tyranny Tracker. Matt Kiser runs Current Status. The Massachusetts Pirate Party maintains a 2025 Administrative Coup Memory Bank.
• Amy Siskind’s The Weekly List “tracks specific news stories representing eroding norms under the Trump regime.”
