The WhoGov Project mourns the passing of King Harald V of Norway. He championed compassion and an inclusive vision of Norway where every citizen belonged. We have coded many royals as a part of our project, and the world would be a much better place if more of them were like Harald.

to hear Trump tell it, American elections were completely corrupted while he was president and he was helpless to stop it, then they were cleaned up by Biden ahead of Trump's victory in 2024, and now that Trump is president again they are once again becoming third world caliber

Version 4 is also the last business as usual update of WhoGov. We are working towards a more automated workflow using coding agents. This will allow us to release updates more frequently and move away from the yearly format. Furthermore, we are adding Wikidata ID, more portfolios, and more.

Donald Trump spent the Christmas holiday bombing Nigeria and issuing a wave of social media threats against late-night hosts and Democrats, as he once again drew attention to his Epstein scandal. Read more about Trump’s airstrikes and meltdowns over the holiday: zeteo.com/p/trump-nige...

Trump just designated “Antifa” as a terrorist organization, on par with ISIS and Al Qaeda. As a reminder, “antifa” is short for “antifascist”. They will use this lie to surveil, imprison, and kill Americans on the left. This may be our Reichstag Fire moment. Wake up. www.cnn.com/2025/09/17/p...

Oops: On Joe Rogan’s podcast in September 2018, Tulsi Gabbard acknowledged that Russia interfered in the 2016 election. Rogan called it “amazing” that it took until 2016 for foreign election influence to become a major issue in the U.S.

"Unlike January 2021 — when the Big Lie scheme failed — by 2029 Trump and his cohorts will have new tools to carry out a coup, including a massive federal police force with a proven willingness to engage in systemic illegality at Trump's behest."

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy. I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.
