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.

It's NOT that Trump is bad, it's that he's a RAPIST and you're stupidly gullable if you think he isn't changing the rules on RAPE to make it easier for rich men like him to get away with RAPE, and it's also that getting lawyers involved in K12 exclusions makes everything worse and particularly harrowing for girls who have been RAPED and it's SPECIFICALLY designed to SILENCE THEM.

...and again, my whole point is that you aren't engaging with what the policy actually says/does, but starting and stopping with whose administration it was created under and rolled back to under.

I also notice you keep focusing on K12, despite a majority of these cases being college cases. Both the stakes of being wrongly found responsible and the likelihood anyone involved has a lawyer for the Title IX hearing are much lower for K12 cases. Unless the kid is accusing staff or faculty, in which case I definitely expect the kid's parents to have a lawyer present at the very least, but that's because there are much more likely to be criminal or civil cases in that case in addition to the Title IX case as opposed to cases involving two kids where it's probably just the Title IX hearing.

It really isn't specifically designed to silence them though. Part of the whole construct is specifically that any questioning of their testimony has to be approved by the finder of fact (aka analog to a judge, since the DeVos process is modeled in a lot of ways on a bench trial - typically this is the Title IX Coordinator, but it can be delegated) as being relevant to the case - the whole point of which is to bar questions that are just irrelevant victim blaming / victim shaming from being asked (for example, the sex life of the accuser is usually irrelevant, as is what she was wearing). The accused is also not allowed to ask questions directly, it must go through an intermediate (typically either lawyer for the accused or appointed faculty advisor), specifically to make it less intimidating.

Of course it's designed to silence them. There's a word that keeps coming up; gullible. Really, really gullible.
