On Monday, Donald Trump will be inaugurated as the 47th president of the United States, and the news will come at us thick and fast.

The stories here come from newsrooms that have an active presence in the fediverse, plus a couple of our own desks. We encourage you to support independent media by following the accounts here, boosting their stories, and donating money and subscribing if you can. Buckle up, folks!
