Political appointments may be a normal part of any presidential transition, but don’t expect to hear that word too often as President-elect Donald Trump announces his picks for Cabinet positions and other key government roles this week.

Since Monday, the announcements have been coming fast and furious from Trump’s Truth Social account, and although some of his favored appointees have been on the conventional side, such as Senator Marco Rubio of Florida, whom Trump has chosen for secretary of state, others have been—to put it bluntly—shocking. Trump’s choice of Matt Gaetz, the controversial Republican representative from Florida, as attorney general has sparked concern even among fellow Republicans.

Just eight days after Trump’s victory over Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 election, it’s all a bit head-spinning, particularly for the millions of Americans who already suffered from news fatigue before the election. At the same time, many of us don’t have the luxury of tuning it out, as the consequences of the next four years will have a direct impact on the lives of countless millions.

If you’re looking for an easy way to track Trump’s cabinet picks and appointees as the announcements happen, we’ve rounded up a few resources below:

  • New York Times: The paper of record is keeping a running list, complete with short bios, photos, and the status of the appointment. Find it here.
  • Politico: The political-focused news outlet has a nice infographic that makes tracking the announcements easy. Find it here.
  • Washington Post: The D.C. paper also has a nice tracker with a user-friendly visual layout. Find it here.
  • CNN: The cable network’s website is quick on the draw and appears to be updating its appointment tracker in real time. Find it here.
