Trump has done so much damage in such a short time, is there any site tracking it all? (lemm.ee)

I remember there being a website that listed all the good things Obama had done for people who constantly said he did nothing good, I'm hoping there's a place archiving all the stuff Trump is doing because it's hard to keep track of it all as an individual.

Anyone? Google is not helping me at all.

There is !keeptrack@lemmy.world but mostly they are posting links to items on whitehouse.gov and those will disappear.

That's not a great solution in the long or even relatively short run. I might fight with ChatGPT until it spits out a python script that can do something to archive all this.

Couldn't we just use archive.org?
Not sure about tracking changes, but there is probably something pretty much finished for that existing already

Edit: There are at least some APIs and tools that seem quite handy
https://archive.org/developers/index-apis.html

And some bash scripts on GitHub to use archive.org:

I just did a quick search, there's probably something better already existing, but have never looked into that space before
