Context: Biden Pardons Son

Outgoing President Biden’s pardon of his son on convictions arising from taxes and lying on a firearms form raised fears of Trump using the pardons as precedent to carry out his own unorthodox pardons as he did during his previous term. Trump has already suggested he might pardon January 6 participants. Biden is not the first president to pardon family members, but he had previously pledged not to do it. He said he changed his mind after concluding that his son was being pursued for political ends to destroy him and that it would not stop now.

This time, we're making a list

In the chaotic flow of a different kind of presidency, events are often quickly lost. It is hard to remember the unusual occurrences from just the last week, let alone last month, last six months, or last year.

This site serves as your temporal GPS through the chaos – a curated timeline of events that matter, moments that count, and occasionally, related things that occurred just to remind us that nothing happens in a vacuum. Think of it as a focused historical diary. It grows almost daily.

We are a concise timeline of the events of the second presidency of Donald J. Trump as they occur. This timeline is not a real time news source. It is an archive. Refer back to us when it all seems a jumble. The timeline cannot not tell you how to think or whether to love or hate what's happening, but just that it is happening.

There is value in looking back in order to look forward.
