Deregulation in the Trump era – and rolling it back

Deregulation in the Trump era – and rolling it back

A lot has been made, rightly so, in recent days of President Biden’s rollbacks of the Trump Administration’s gleeful dismantling of environmental, health, and other regulatory safeguards. Both the NYT and Brookings have been keeping track of what’s happening on the regulatory front, with Brookings doing so since at least 2018 if not earlier.

Brookings breaks down the regulatory changes into 12 discrete categories, spanning topics from COVID to Environment to Telecommunications.

Both sources are interesting and useful. I’m looking for an analog for the current administration — a rollback of rollbacks tracker, if you will.

You don't get what you expect, you get what you inspect.
