I'm an immigrant.
And like many immigrants, I came here with open eyes, a lot of questions, and a deep respect for the stories that were here before me.
Ignorance isnβt about where youβre from... itβs about whether you choose to stop learning.

As a daughter of immigrants, a mother raising the next generation, and a believer in freedom shaped by responsibility, I celebrate not just what was won in 1776 but what we continue to build with courage and compassion.

Kristi Noem Secretly Took a Cut of Political Donations

NEW: Kristi Noem, while governor of South Dakota, supplemented her roughly $130,000 salary by secretly accepting $80,000 donated to a political nonprofit she was affiliated with, records show.
She never disclosed this income on federal ethics forms.
