The damage was
done in public.
So is the record.

This archive documents what Donald J. Trump and the MAGA Republican Party did to American law, American life, and America's standing in the world — across the 45th presidency, the insurrection that ended it, and the 47th presidency now underway. Every entry is dated, sourced, and kept. Nothing here is deleted because it became inconvenient.

The people listed in these pages are not anonymous. They signed the letters, cast the votes, went on the broadcasts, and took the money. This site exists so that a visitor a generation from now can look up a name and find out exactly what that person chose to do.

Two terms, one pattern

Sections I & II
45

The 45th Presidency

January 2017 — January 2021

Two impeachments. A pandemic response that cost lives it did not have to cost. Children separated from parents at the border. A lie about a stolen election, repeated until a mob carried it into the Capitol on January 6, 2021. The term ended with a president refusing the peaceful transfer of power for the first time in the history of the republic.

47

The 47th Presidency

January 2025 — ongoing · updated daily

Returned to office by 77 million voters who had already seen everything in the paragraph beside this one. The second term opened with pardons for the January 6 attackers, the purging of career civil servants and inspectors general, deportations conducted past the objections of the courts, and open threats against the press. This section is live, and it grows.
