Tracking the Crisis
We Read The News So You Don’t Have To!
“All we have to do is flood the zone. Every day, we hit them with three things. They’ll bite on one, and we'll get all of our stuff done, bang, bang, bang. These guys will never be able to recover, but we’ve got to start with muzzle velocity.” — Steve Bannon
TRACKING THE CRISIS is a weekly news round-up tracking the administrative, legislative, and other actions of the U.S. Administration, as well as the many forms of legal and movement response from across a broad range of social, political, and economic actors.
We are providing this service for collective informational purposes, as a tool for understanding the times during a period of disorientingly rapid flux and change in the political economy of the United States.
The Democracy Collaborative should not be understood as endorsing or otherwise any of the specific content of the information round-up.
This round-up is produced by humans, not by Artificial Intelligence. To submit items for our attention, please email tracker@democracycollaborative.org
