When not overwhelming, information is power.
In that spirit to help the movement, we’ve assembled reliable trackers and databases following the Trump/Musk administrative coup.
(If you have an additional tracker to recommend, please let us know.)
WHAT IS TRUMP DOING?
What has Trump done (policies, appointments, and apportionments)?

What is DOGE doing? (Who has been fired? How much money has DOGE “found”?)
NY Times has been trying to keep up with where Trump, Musk and DOGE Have Cut Federal Workers So Far. This tends to be updated less frequently but more detailed information.
