US Political Accountability Tracker
“There will be a reckoning…” Terry Pratchett wrote those words for a young protagonist who had learned to see the world as it actually was. When the Trump administration’s grip on power finally loosens, the United States will face exactly that. This coming judgement implicates not just the executive branch but every institution that was meant to check it. Congress held the constitutional authority to investigate, subpoena, and restrain a president openly defying federal courts. It largely chose not to. A Supreme Court supermajority handed the presidency sweeping immunity from criminal prosecution less than a year before that power would be tested to its limits. The tracker below documents what happened during those years: the constitutional violations, the statutory crimes, the ethical breaches, and the quiet transfer of wealth from working Americans to defense contractors and the ultra-wealthy. Every entry is drawn from court rulings, Congressional Budget Office projections, and the findings of federal judges appointed by presidents of both parties.
