The Team
The administration as it stands in November 2026: 43 current officials (Stephen Miller becomes Chief of Staff on November 9, 2026, succeeding Susie Wiles, whose profile moves to the former-officials archive), grouped the way the government runs. A colored dot marks each profiled official’s current standing on this chronicle’s record — green for advancing, yellow for contested or mixed, red for stalled or vacant. Profiles open in review batches; every name below is on the roster whether or not its full profile has been published yet.
Principals
Donald J. Trump
47th President of the United States
The 47th President, in his second term since January 20, 2025. Trump is the administration's own chief communicator: policy and personnel announcements originate on his Truth Social account, and his speeches, signings, and remarks anchor the White House video operation.
JD Vance
50th Vice President of the United States
The 50th Vice President, in office since January 20, 2025. Beyond the vice presidency's public-facing role, Vance chairs the White House Task Force to Eliminate Fraud and is one of the administration's most frequent on-camera officials.
Cabinet
Marco Rubio
72nd Secretary of State; also National Security Advisor
Former Florida senator confirmed unanimously (99–0) as the 72nd Secretary of State on January 21, 2025. He has since accumulated more concurrent hats than any other cabinet officer — including National Security Advisor — and remains active on the road in October 2026.
Pete Hegseth
29th Secretary of Defense, styled Secretary of War since September 2025
Former Fox News host and Army National Guard veteran confirmed by the narrowest of margins (51–50) as the 29th Secretary of Defense. He now runs the department under its 'Department of War' rebrand, publishing at war.gov and styled Secretary of War in 2026 speeches.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
26th Secretary of Health and Human Services
The 26th Secretary of Health and Human Services, confirmed 52–48 and sworn in on February 13, 2025, and still in role in October 2026. His full record — profile, initiatives, positions, and video library — is tracked on this site; RFK Team Report covers his HHS tenure in dedicated depth as a companion.
Sean Duffy
20th Secretary of Transportation
The 20th Secretary of Transportation, confirmed and sworn in on January 28, 2025, and still in role in October 2026. A former Fox Business co-host, he is one of the cabinet's most prolific on-camera officials — and the status dot is yellow because his department-produced video series has drawn an inspector-general ethics complaint, attributed below.
Doug Collins
12th Secretary of Veterans Affairs
The 12th Secretary of Veterans Affairs, confirmed 77–23 and sworn in on February 5, 2025, and still in role in October 2026. This page is his full profile and administration scoreboard record; the VA accountability letter campaign lives on DearDougCollins.
Scott Bessent
Secretary of the Treasury
Secretary of the Treasury, confirmed 68–29 and in office since January 28, 2025. Bessent is the administration's senior economic official at Treasury, the department through which the tariff, trade, and tax program is financed and administered.
Todd Blanche
88th Attorney General of the United States
The 88th Attorney General, sworn in on August 10, 2026 after confirmation by a 50–49 vote. Blanche had run the Justice Department as acting Attorney General since April 2026, when Pam Bondi was fired, after serving as Deputy Attorney General from March 2025.
Doug Burgum
55th Secretary of the Interior
The 55th Secretary of the Interior, confirmed 79–18 and in office since February 1, 2025. Burgum also chairs the National Energy Council, which makes him the cabinet's coordinating official for the administration's energy-dominance program.
Brooke Rollins
33rd U.S. Secretary of Agriculture
The 33rd U.S. Secretary of Agriculture, confirmed 72–28 and in office since February 13, 2025. Rollins runs the department that touches farming, rural programs, and the federal food programs, and she is one of the cabinet's most active on-camera officials.
Howard Lutnick
41st Secretary of Commerce
The 41st Secretary of Commerce, confirmed 51–45 and in office since February 21, 2025. Lutnick is one of the administration's most public economic officials — and one of the few carrying an attributed criticism item on this chronicle's record, a March 2026 Public Citizen letter concerning the Epstein files.
Keith Sonderling
31st Secretary of Labor
The 31st Secretary of Labor, confirmed 47–41 and sworn in on October 2, 2026 — the last of this cabinet class to be confirmed. Sonderling reached the secretary's chair from the deputy's office after his predecessor resigned amid an inspector-general investigation, and he simultaneously serves as Acting Director of the Office of Government Ethics.
Scott Turner
19th Secretary of Housing and Urban Development
The 19th Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, confirmed 55–45 on February 5, 2025, and still in role in October 2026. His program pairs housing-supply deregulation and Opportunity Zones with a citizens-only rule for HUD housing; he has terminated the Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing rule and ended the Housing First model.
Chris Wright
17th Secretary of Energy
The 17th Secretary of Energy, confirmed 59–38 on February 3, 2025, and still in role in October 2026. His brief is energy dominance built on all affordable, reliable sources. The status dot is yellow: figures he used publicly about the Strait of Hormuz in August 2026 were disputed by outside trackers — an attributed criticism recorded in this research.
Linda McMahon
13th Secretary of Education
The 13th Secretary of Education, confirmed 51–45 on March 3, 2025, and still in role and touring in October 2026. Her mission is the department's wind-down itself — in her own framing, to 'put myself out of a job': eliminating the federal education bureaucracy and returning education to the states, with a reduction in force of roughly half the department executed.
Markwayne Mullin
9th Secretary of Homeland Security
The 9th Secretary of Homeland Security, confirmed 54–45 on March 23, 2026 and sworn in on March 24, 2026 after resigning his Senate seat. He succeeded Kristi Noem — a departure the White House frames as a move to a special-envoy post and other reporting describes as a firing; this chronicle attributes both. His first weeks were dominated by a DHS shutdown and pay fight affecting roughly 100,000 employees.
Cabinet-Level
Lee Zeldin
EPA Administrator
Former New York congressman serving as EPA Administrator since January 2025, with no turnover since. He is one of the administration's most visible cabinet-level officials — frequent cable interviews and EPA travel events through 2026 — and, in this research, the only official in his tier with a verified official Truth Social presence.
Mike Waltz
32nd U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations; former National Security Advisor
Former Special Forces officer and Florida congressman who served as the 29th National Security Advisor (January–May 2025) before his removal after the Signal group-chat episode. He was confirmed as the 32nd U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations in September 2025 and remains in that post in October 2026.
Russell Vought
Director of the Office of Management and Budget
Director of the Office of Management and Budget, confirmed 53–47 on February 6, 2025, in his second stint running OMB. His is the office where the administration's budget, workforce, and spending program is executed, and his public record is mostly testimony — plus a verified X account, @russvought, cited in House documents and a federal court filing.
Jay Clayton
Director of National Intelligence
Director of National Intelligence since August 3, 2026, confirmed 51–47 and sworn in the same day. Clayton is the third person to hold the job in this administration — after Tulsi Gabbard's June 2026 resignation and Bill Pulte's acting stint — and in October 2026 he took on an additional AI-coordinator role. He keeps no verified personal social-media presence; his public footprint runs through the ODNI.
John Ratcliffe
Director of the Central Intelligence Agency
Director of the Central Intelligence Agency since January 23, 2025, sworn in after a 74–25 Senate confirmation — one of the least contested votes for a senior national-security post in this administration. Ratcliffe has held the job without interruption since, and keeps no verified personal social-media presence; his public footprint is agency statements, testimony, and rare public appearances.
Jamieson Greer
United States Trade Representative
The United States Trade Representative, in role and publicly active through October 2026 — appearing at the G20 in Milwaukee and on CNBC in the research window. Greer is the administration's negotiator-in-chief on the tariff and trade-deal program. He keeps no verified personal social-media account; USTR's agency channel is his public feed.
Kelly Loeffler
Administrator of the Small Business Administration
Administrator of the Small Business Administration since February 2025, confirmed 52–46 on February 19, 2025, and in role continuously since. Loeffler runs the SBA's lending operation and fronts its part of the administration's fraud crackdown — the beat that links her profile to this site's sister publication, AllegedFraud.
White House Staff
Stephen Miller
White House Chief of Staff (from November 9, 2026); Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy and Homeland Security Advisor
Senior aide from Trump's first term who returned January 20, 2025 as Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy and Homeland Security Advisor. On November 6, 2026, President Trump announced on Truth Social that Miller will become White House Chief of Staff effective Monday, November 9, 2026, succeeding Susie Wiles. Reporting through September–October 2026 still places him directing multi-agency immigration enforcement, and he is one of the administration's most frequent on-camera defenders of the deportation program.
Tom Homan
White House Border Czar (Assistant to the President for border matters)
Career immigration-enforcement official who served as acting ICE Director in the first Trump term (2017–18) and returned as the White House 'Border Czar,' an unconfirmed advisory post. In October 2026 he remains the public face of the deportation program across Sunday shows and cable news.
Dan Scavino
Deputy Chief of Staff; Director of Presidential Personnel
Deputy Chief of Staff who added a second, powerful hat in October 2025: Director of Presidential Personnel, the office that staffs the administration. Scavino is also the White House's social-video engine — a constant producer on his own X feed who rarely speaks on camera — and he helps run the President's Truth Social feed, which is the President's account, not his.
Richard Walters
Acting Deputy Chief of Staff (Legislative, Political, and Public Affairs)
Acting Deputy Chief of Staff for the legislative, political, and public-affairs portfolio since May 2026, when James Blair left the White House to run the President's midterm political operation. Walters is a new and deliberately low-profile figure in this chronicle's research: his acting incumbency is established, but his public channels have not yet been audited, and this profile is intentionally short until they are.
Will Scharf
White House Counsel
White House Counsel since September 1, 2026 — the third person associated with the job in this administration. Scharf moved up from Staff Secretary when David Warrington's tenure ended, and he is among the quietest senior officials in this chronicle's research: no public feeds were found for him at all.
Steven Cheung
White House Communications Director
White House Communications Director and one of the administration's loudest text voices — quiet on video, prolific in print and on X. Cheung was confirmed active in the role in mid-October 2026, publicly defending the Press Secretary transition, and along the way absorbed part of the communications portfolio Taylor Budowich carried before leaving in 2025.
Kevin Hassett
Director of the National Economic Council
Director of the National Economic Council and the administration's most visible economic surrogate — a fixture of the Sunday shows, rated loud on video in this chronicle's research. Hassett was widely reported as a frontrunner for Federal Reserve Chair in 2026; the reporting did not result in the chair, which went to Kevin Warsh.
Michael Kratsios
Director, Office of Science and Technology Policy
Director of the Office of Science and Technology Policy since March 25, 2025 — the White House's science and technology chief, and the official whose portfolio carries the administration's AI Action Plan. Kratsios is a moderate public presence: testimony, technology events, and an X account documented in secondary sourcing.
Christopher Phelan
Chair, Council of Economic Advisers
The 33rd Chair of the Council of Economic Advisers, confirmed 51–47 on August 7, 2026 and in office from August 10. Phelan closes a long interim at the CEA: nominated April 21, 2026, he served as Vice Chair from July while Pierre Yared acted as chair, succeeding Stephen Miran, who has now left the administration entirely.
Press Secretary
VACANT — no successor named as of October 18, 2026
Karoline Leavitt departed in August 2026; her announced successor served about five days in October 2026. The chair is tracked as vacant until the White House names a successor.
Agencies & the Fed
Kash Patel
Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation
Director of the FBI, in role and publicly active through October 2026 — announcing arrests and results on his official X account near-daily. The status dot is yellow because his directorship operates under active, attributed congressional oversight criticism, including an October 2026 oversight letter from House Judiciary Democrats.
Christopher Raia
Deputy Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation
Deputy Director of the FBI and, since October 2, 2026, the Bureau's sole deputy — the continuity figure under Director Kash Patel after a year of churn in the deputy's office. He has no verified personal channels; his public record is the Bureau's institutional one.
Brendan Carr
Chair of the Federal Communications Commission
Chair of the FCC, in role through October 2026. Carr is one of the few officials whose personal video presence is genuinely X-native (@BrendanCarrFCC), while the Commission he runs is a full-event poster — its monthly Open Meetings stream in full.
Mehmet Oz
Administrator of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services
Administrator of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, in role through October 2026. Oz runs the administration's Medicare, Medicaid, and marketplace machinery, and owns two heavy scoreboard items: CMS's September 2026 announcement that some 315,000 ACA enrollments were cancelled as fraudulent — an administration claim that drew KFF criticism — and the drug-pricing program. The status dot is yellow because his signature enforcement figure is contested on the record.
David Venturella
Acting Director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement
Acting Director of ICE since June 1, 2026 — a career ICE official running the agency while its directorship remains, as it has been since the Obama era, without a Senate-confirmed holder. The status dot is yellow: the administration's own permanent pick was withdrawn in September 2026, and Venturella's path from ICE to the GEO Group and back has drawn attributed revolving-door criticism from Senator Warren's side of the record.
Rodney Scott
Commissioner of U.S. Customs and Border Protection
Commissioner of U.S. Customs and Border Protection, in role through October 2026 — testifying to Congress in April 2026 and touring the border with Secretary Mullin. CBP under Scott is one of the federal government's full-event posters: its press conferences run complete on the agency channel, not as clips.
Sean Cairncross
National Cyber Director
National Cyber Director, confirmed August 2, 2025 and active through October 2026 — running the cyber portfolio (Project Watershed 250, August 2026) while accumulating the administration's cross-cutting AI roles: co-lead, with DNI Jay Clayton, of the super-intelligence accord working group, and co-manager of the Commerce Department's CAISSI AI-testing unit with OSTP's Michael Kratsios.
Sara Carter
Director of the Office of National Drug Control Policy
Director of the Office of National Drug Control Policy — the White House drug czar — confirmed January 6, 2026 by 52–48, the first woman to hold the job. Carter came to the office from journalism, and her official X presence is her former journalist account, @SaraCarterDC, now operating as her official channel.
Kevin Warsh
Chair of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System
Chair of the Federal Reserve, confirmed May 13, 2026 (54–45) and in office since May 22 — the man who replaced Jerome Powell in the chair while Powell stays on as a Governor. In September 2026 the Warsh Fed raised rates 25 basis points to 3.75–4.00%, the first hike since 2023, directly against President Trump's stated demand for cuts: this chronicle's headline Economy item of the autumn. The status dot is yellow because the chair's stated path and the President's stated demand are now in open, documented conflict.
Envoys
Sergio Gor
U.S. Ambassador to India; Special Envoy for South and Central Asia
U.S. Ambassador to India and Special Envoy for South and Central Asia, in post in New Delhi since January 12, 2026. Gor arrived at the embassy from the centre of Trump's personnel operation — he ran the Presidential Personnel Office until October 2025 — and is this roster's first envoy-tier profile, with two verified channels: his own @SergioGor and the role account @USAmbIndia.
