Cool, modern US politics causes some stress for me; an allergy possibly. Can I get the inverse of this? I want to have this feed into a google filter so I can look at my local news without seeing anything at all related to POTUS in the headline, regardless of who’s in office.

  I was thinking the same. Living in Europe I want to extend this to any alt-right figures, identarian politicians and autocrats of all sort. Looking at the news has just become too 'intellectual challenging'.

  I use a cosmetic ublock origin filter (if you want to generalize it across all sites you need to change 'allowGenericProceduralFilters'). It would be something like ##span:has-text(/trump\b|elon\b|otheridiotwhosaysstupidthingsformediaattention/i).

    I have never played origin advanced features but this seems like a great start, thanks for sharing.

This is really cool. I read the FAQ, but I still don't really understand how this is getting updated. Is this being manually updated?

  They're probably scraping Whitehouse.gov and Congress.gov

From the FAQ: Where do the executive order descriptions come from? These descriptions are generated using ChatGPT 4o-mini as soon as the president publishes the text of the executive order. While the language strives to be factual and neutral, AI-generated summaries have some limitations. They may oversimplify complex language, miss important nuances, or reflect unintended biases in interpretation. For a comprehensive understanding, we recommend reviewing the full text of the executive order and consulting multiple sources. “This is a tool meant to help people get actionable updates on impactful executive actions by providing summaries that should absolutely not be trusted under any circumstances.” … k. All the best,
