As cabinet members depart, Politico profiles the vice-like ‘B‑Team’ of agency deputies who run day‑to‑day operations and could move into acting or full leadership roles. The piece highlights figures such as Todd Blanche at the DOJ, Keith Sonderling at Labor, Aaron Lukas at ODNI, James Danly at Energy, Paul Dabbar at Commerce, David Fotouhi at EPA, Kate MacGregor at Interior, Stephen Vaden at Agriculture, Nicholas Kent at Education, and other potential moves across agencies, illustrating how turnover is prime for elevating deputies to lead as the White House weighs personnel changes ahead of the midterms.

After Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer’s resignation, Trump’s cabinet purge intensifies, with bettors on Polymarket placing bets on who’ll be the next ousted. Chavez-DeRemer is the third female cabinet member to leave within weeks, following Kristi Noem and Pam Bondi.

Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer resigned to take a job in the private sector, confirmed by White House officials. The move comes as her department faces an inspector-general probe into potential misconduct, with several top aides already placed on leave. NBC News notes this as a notable cabinet shakeup with ongoing developments.
House Democrats introduced a bill to form a 17-member presidential-capacity commission, including four physicians and four psychiatrists, to determine whether Trump is unable to discharge the powers and duties of the presidency under the 25th Amendment and would coordinate with the vice president and cabinet, with JD Vance as a key partner; the effort faces long odds in a Republican-led House and follows recent controversial Trump statements.
Former CIA Director John Brennan argues that President Trump is unfit for office and that the 25th Amendment was written with him in mind, citing Trump’s volatile Iran threats. More than 70 Democrats have supported invoking the amendment, though its chances are slim due to cabinet loyalty and presidential backing. Brennan is also under an ongoing DOJ inquiry, a context that underscores the political sting of his call in contrast to past related prosecutions (Comey’s charges were later dropped).
Despite cross‑party calls to invoke the 25th Amendment to remove Donald Trump, the path remains highly unlikely: it requires the vice president and a majority of the Cabinet (Congress does not initiate it) and Pence is not expected to trigger it; past uses by Reagan and Bush were for health-related handoffs, and there is no established congressional body designated to act under the amendment.
