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.

The Live, Dangerous, Lopsided Experiment of AI in Government
This much is clear: artificial intelligence has permeated just about every corner of the federal government. The Revolving Door Project has been tracking news stories and reports of the Trump administration’s adoption of AI, which has been at turns benign, ridiculous, and dangerous.
