The outlet reports that deleted datasets "disproportionately" come from environmental science agencies like the Department of Energy, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
Gosh.

They are blowing up the system from within. Our worst fears are materializing in front of our eyes. In just a few weeks.

Is been 13 days, so not even 2 weeks in and we've already had:
- 2 aerial incidents with fatalities
- Officials in Charge resigning
- an undeniable comeback of neo Nazism
- prosecutors and investigators from Jan 6 fired
- ICE raids on several states
- Price increases in groceries, eggs, gas
- A 60 year setback for DEI policies
- LGBTQ rights affected
- Import Tariffs for both our biggest trading partners
And that's just from the tip of my tongue, I'm sure theres more shit I have not had the time to read.

What do you wanna bet they aren't just being scrubbed from the web, but actually destroyed.

All U.S. federal government websites are already archived by the End of Term Web Archive
hopefully it's there, if not try asking in r/datahoarder or r/datasets -
Well, the donvict thugs will be coming for the Wayback Machine next.
-
Yeah, archive.org should probably consider moving to a free country.

Hopefully they start making hidden backups

We're talking protests right? Like the George Floyd ones that totally ended racist policing. Right? ... Right?..
I think it's more Luigi and less Floyd
