Abandon all hope, ye who seek reflective reasoning from this government.

But my guess is that less public access to national information helps, and does not hinder, a speed-run to autocracy.

I dunno. I'm very much not a Trump fan, but I don't see how restricting access to "national information" would help him. And if it would, how does restricting access to one of them help him?

I could more see this as being just random action without any real purpose, or aimed at petty revenge on someone, or something.

Remember that the Trump administration are active enemies of open inquiry, justice and accountability - and they have done a solid job illegally dismantling the federal government due to extremist ideology.

If an organization is a source of inconvenient truth to a ruler, or serves the public without a profit motive, it will be ruined by this administration.
