Doug Burgum, the Regime Toady of Our Time

According to Interior Secretary Doug Burgum, Donald Trump is the “king of PEACE”—an odd position for a Lutheran like Burgum, as it would rank Trump above the “Prince of Peace,” Jesus Christ—and Europeans should be “cheering” for him to annex Greenland. It’s also odd for the Interior secretary, whose duties principally concern federal lands, to be commenting on European opinion.

Endangered Toad Says “ICE OUT”

Bad Bunny, the most streamed artist in the world for the last four years, has elevated el sapo concho’s profile by transforming the toad into a symbol of Puerto Rico’s imperiled cultural and ecological heritage. At a time of historic institutional cowardice towards combating climate change, he reminds us what the fight is about: nothing less than preserving our treasured places in the world, and those we share them with.

Trump’s War on Public Data

Trump’s antagonistic relationship with facts is well documented. His most egregious attacks on reality aren’t just rhetorical. They threaten physical safety and American democracy. They target the ways we define what we know about the country and ourselves. Trump’s assault on public data is not a side project, it’s a core feature of his authoritarian approach to governance. By hollowing out federal statistics, limiting information gathering, and redacting inconvenient reports, the Trump administration is warping reality to suit its political narrative. The goal isn’t just to obscure the effects of the president’s policies, it’s to prevent the public from seeing them at all.

It can be overwhelming to try to keep up with the cuts to environmental funding, rollbacks to critical regulations, and track the thousands of staff across agencies who have been fired from their roles. The purpose of this tracker is to monitor some of the most important tangible increases in pollution and environmental and health harms caused by the Trump administration’s actions.

The Real Cost of Trump’s First Year

Donald Trump ascended to the presidency for a second time by pledging to bring down the rising cost of groceries and housing, essentials that every American needs, but increasingly few find affordable. Then he flipped that promise on its head. Instead of putting the full weight of the presidency behind addressing economic insecurity, the president’s first year was a blatant exercise in how to turn corruption into a governing principle, enriching the already rich by extracting wealth from the same people bearing the brunt of rising costs.

Trump 2.0: Tracking Material Impact

Throughout the course of the Trump presidency, the Revolving Door Project plans to provide real time, clear-eyed analyses of the President’s approach towards governance, staffing, ethics and critically, the material impact of his pro-corporate attitudes. As we outlined in our retrospective memos on the first Trump administration, the President and his cast of conflicted appointees routinely flout ethics and laws, prioritizing corporate interests while endangering the health, safety and wellbeing of the American people.
