Trump Puts Noem Down Like a Dog Her tenure—with its illegal deportations, immigrant pain, and killings of U.S. citizens—ends this month.

Rep. Joaquin Castro (D-Texas):

“The utter corruption uncovered over the past few weeks is astounding. If Democrats take back the House majority next year, there will be much to review about her time in office. People have to be held accountable.”

Fuel spike puts pressure on small business owners (Meagan Daukshus, WLTX, March 4, 2026)

The incredibly corrupt Ken Paxton is setting conditions for getting out of the TX Senate race, which are...the simple asks of eliminating the Senate filibuster and passing the SAVE America Act. He's nuts.

I'm noticing *a lot* more pictures of Bishop Robert Barron at parishes in his Diocese on his Twitter account. I wonder if someone in the Vatican gave him a talking-to.

By a vote of 51-45, the #Senate did not invoke cloture on the motion to proceed to H.R.7147, Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act, 2026, upon reconsideration.

She's done. That's going to be quite a conversation backstage...

DoD official: This is not Iraq 3.0. We are not doing nation building.

Rep. Khanna: JD Vance used to be with you in terms of not getting into these wars. Trump beat Lindsey Graham in 2016, and now Lindsey Graham has become the face of Donald Trump's foreign policy. What happened?

I haven't watched Noem much but she's describing a dystopian hellscape under Biden that has no basis in reality and only people who only consume Fox News would believe.

You'd think Corey would come up and whisper into her ear to tell her.

Nope!

She says she's going to be meeting soon with New York sheriffs as DHS Secretary...

I'm waiting for one of these people asking her questions to ask her if she knows she's been fired.

Right now Noem's talking about how she wants to institute retention bonuses at DHS...

Really is fascinating...pretty clear she has no idea she's been fired.

NOEM TAKING QUESTIONS - DOES NOT APPEAR TO KNOW SHE WAS FIRED

We've got a POTUS who's in the 30s in some polls, who started an incredibly unpopular war, who had to fire one of his cabinet secretaries, who's having to retreat on front after front domestically, & yet so many universities are going along with his conservative indoctrination centers.

Marty Walsh was Biden's first cabinet secretary to leave and he lasted two years. Kristi Noem barely lasted more than a year.

Congratulations DHS Secretary Stephen miller on continuing to be DHS Secretary

Tough break for all the Republicans who voted to confirm Noem at DHS, along with Democrats Fetterman, Hassan, Kaine, Kim, Peters, Shaheen, & Slotkin, who also voted to confirm her.

"withdraw so you don't cost us this seat but don't resign so you don't cost us power"

The party of moral values ladies and gentlemen!

Trump says he’ll help pick Iran’s leader, predicts regime change in Cuba The president told POLITICO that “Cuba’s going to fall,” revealed his growing frustration with Ukraine and discussed the uncertain search for a new leader of Iran.

Trump's already turning his sights onto Cuba.

Like changing her title from Assistant to the Regional Manager to Assistant Regional Manager.

Kristi Noem's as gone as her face she had before she changed it for Trump.

I rarely ever agree with my congresswoman. But only 65 members of congress want to release these files?! What in the world.

Trump kicked her out of his White House. He made her a lawn Noem.

I’m frankly a bit surprised Trump fired Noem. It shows weakness and reminds people that accountability is possible.
