It has happened before, but it is astonishing how the whitehouse.gov website can be completely gutted during a change of administration. If you have linked to anything on there it might be worth considering updating to point at a web archive. Here's an example:

  President Biden and Vice President Harris promised to move quickly to deliver results for working families. That’s what they’ve done.

  @edsu Thanks for the reminder... A quick `mastodon-archive text` search helped me find 10 posts I had to fix.

    #Biden: «Over the last 30 years, the forces of autocracy have revived all across the globe.» https://web.archive.org/web/20250118183232/https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/speeches-remarks/2022/03/26/remarks-by-president-biden-on-the-united-efforts-of-the-free-world-to-support-the-people-of-ukraine/ I wonder what changed 30 years ago and who might have had something to do with it. 🧐

    I want to believe that all this brinkmanship about freezing negotiations on #nuclear disarmament is some reverse psychology to bring the other side to proclaim it's necessary to negotiate. Compare: "a nuclear war cannot be won and must never be fought"; "But negotiation requires a willing partner operating in good faith"; "Before we come back to discussing this issue, we must have a clear idea". https://web.archive.org/web/20240225042603/https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2022/08/01/president-biden-statement-ahead-of-the-10th-review-conference-of-the-treaty-on-the-non-proliferation-of-nuclear-weapons/ https://tass.com/politics/1580555 http://en.kremlin.ru/events/president/news/70565 https://web.archive.org/web/20240211202634/https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2021/06/16/u-s-russia-presidential-joint-statement-on-strategic-stability/

    According to Stiglitz https://www.theguardian.com/business/2024/mar/18/joe-biden-has-just-dealt-a-big-defeat-to-big-tech we're supposed to believe that the recent anti-TikTok executive order https://web.archive.org/web/20240229004042/https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/presidential-actions/2024/02/28/executive-order-on-preventing-access-to-americans-bulk-sensitive-personal-data-and-united-states-government-related-data-by-countries-of-concern/ is actually the first step towards real federal #privacy protections. Presumably because of this one section instructing the CFPB (!!) to make rules against data brokers: «encouraged to consider taking steps, consistent with CFPB’s existing legal authorities, to address this aspect of the threat and to enhance compliance with Federal consumer protection law»

    A mixed bag, but not too shabby: 20 G$ to non-profits for #ClimateChange work. https://web.archive.org/web/20240404115033/https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2024/04/04/biden-harris-administration-announces-historic-20-billion-in-awards-to-expand-access-to-clean-energy-and-climate-solutions-and-lower-energy-costs-for-communities-across-the-nation/ Looks like the idea is to outsource #ClimateFinance to entities which can't easily be strangled by the next administration. A pseudo capital injection to produce 150 G$ in grants and loans. Is a 7x multiplier realistic? Dunno. EIB Group has over 540 G€ assets, of which 200 G€ claimed "green", with just 22 G€ paid-in capital. https://www.eif.org/news_centre/publications/mid_term_review_of_the_eib_group_climate_bank_roadmap_en.pdf #IRA #uspol #ClimateCrisis

    «Rooting out bias in appraisals can help narrow the racial wealth gap. According to a recent study, eliminating racial disparities in the amount of wealth families gain from owning a home would narrow the wealth gap by 16% between Black and white households and by 41% between Latino and white households.» https://web.archive.org/web/20240413031756/https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2024/04/12/fact-sheet-president-biden-announces-key-progress-on-efforts-to-close-the-racial-wealth-gap/ That is, the public purse historically supports financial subsidies to the already privileged. #uspol #PioveSulBagnato #ReverseRobinHood

    2024 saw two significant steps towards the repudiation of the death penalty and other state-endorsed executions. "US declares its military actions worldwide killed no civilians in 2022" https://airwars.org/research/analysis-us-declares-its-military-actions-worldwide-killed-no-civilians-in-2022/ "President Biden announced that he is commuting the sentences of 37 individuals on federal death row" https://web.archive.org/web/20241223100629/https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2024/12/23/fact-sheet-president-biden-commutes-the-sentences-of-37-individuals-on-death-row/ As Chomsky famously said, «If the Nuremberg laws were applied, then every post-war American president would have been hanged». Biden and Obama are no exception.
