While it seems inescapable that the old America is gone, it also seems naive to think its replacement has already arrived.
Trump’s changes mostly set a delicate political pendulum swinging wildly rather than establish durable new norms. It is enough for America to be temporarily, however deeply, distracted and not broken. The pendulum will swing back then dampen, but that leaves plenty of time for shenanigans.

The basic Dun & Bradstreet subscription is $50/mo, low enough that I think most just turn it on/off when they need to refresh their cached data. (i.e. turn subscription on, run api client with something like jcache enabled, set a long/infinite lifetime on the cache, hit the api with a list of 50 companies you’ll use for testing, turn off subscription)
For production, you use a subscription account, the $50/mo is worth it to have accurate/current entity data.

Everybody else can just fend for themselves.
Whats good for the goose, should be good for the gander. If American journalists feel like there is no problem with disclosing secrets of, say, Maduro, then they should not be protecting people like Trump (just as an example).
