Trump’s firing of the U.S. government archivist is far worse than it might seem
The National Archives isn’t just about preserving dusty documents—it’s a cornerstone of democracy, certifying elections, ratifying constitutional amendments, and ensuring public access to government records. Now, with President Trump’s unprecedented firing of Archivist Colleen Shogan, its independence is in question. As he continues to reshape various agencies, this latest dismissal raises important questions about the future of government transparency and accountability. It’s worth paying attention to how this shift might affect the National Archives’ role in American democracy.
