The Pandemic Timeline Series

Steve is the author of the “Pandemic Timeline” series at BillMoyers.com. One-by-one, it debunked Trump’s persistent lies about COVID-19 and his handling of the crisis.

The Insurrection Timeline

Steve also created and curated the Insurrection Timeline at BillMoyers.com.

The Trump-Russia-Ukraine Timeline Project

Steve also created and curated of  “The Trump-Russia-Unraine Timeline” at BillMoyers.com.

Former President Donald J. Trump’s connections to Russia began more than 40 years ago and didn’t end on Election Day 2016. Steven and the producers at BillMoyers.com launched the Trump-Russia Timeline in February 2017 with 25 sourced and annotated entries.

Almost four years later, the weekly updates to the Timeline ended. Renamed the Trump-Russia-Ukraine Timeline, it had thousands of entries and encompassed Trump’s first impeachment. Readers can browse entries chronologically, focus on a particular date range, or use the name filter to click on one or more individuals to see where they fit in the overall narrative.

In addition to “Moyers on Democracy,” the Trump-Russia-Ukraine Timeline appears at at Dan Rather’s News & Guts and Just Security.

Referring to the Timeline, former assistant Watergate prosecutor Nick Akerman said, “That’s the most enlightening thing you can possibly read. That’s the best source out there on this stuff.” MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell called the Timeline “the greatest tool that we journalists have to work with every day as we stare at this story.”

After Trump lost the election in November 2020, events began to overlap with the Insurrection Timeline – also available at BillMoyers.com. Created as antidotes to the lies and misinformation that Trump and his allies keep spreading, both timelines remain valuable resources for those interested in facts.
