Thousands of U.S. Government Web Pages Have Been Taken Down Since Friday
Briefly

A New York Times analysis revealed that since Friday, over 8,000 webpages from various U.S. government websites were removed as agencies complied with President Trump's directives against diversity initiatives. Key information on vaccinations, research, veterans' care, and hate crimes has been lost, adversely impacting professionals who depend on these resources. Significant purges included more than 3,000 pages from the CDC and Census Bureau, and inclusion of terms like 'pregnant people' likely played a role in deletions. This trend signals a troubling shift away from accessible government data on essential public matters.
