Christina Pagel – “With the help of amazing volunteers, I’ve converted my Trump action tracker spreadsheet into an easy to use website – now up to 740 actions and counting. Today I’m launching TrumpActionTracker.info – a live, searchable list of authoritarian‑style actions from Trump’s second term (over 740 actions so far). Logging actions of the Trump administration across five broad domains of authoritarianism. 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 that covered the 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”
