https://www.cnbc.com/2026/03/05/trump-kristi-noem-markwayne-mullin-dhs.htmlSen. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., during a hearing Tuesday where Noem was testifying, called her leadership of DHS a “disaster.”
“We’re an exceptional nation,” Tillis told her that day. “And one of the reasons we’re exceptional
is we expect exceptional leadership. And you have demonstrated anything but that.”
This is a direct reflection on the person who appointed the vapid woman to such a critical role.
I am sure the new appointee will be equally idiotic. None of his appointees are well suited, just butt-smoochers.

Maybe.
After Democrats regain control of the House, they must subpeona—at the very least—
Blondi, Hegseth, and Patel to hold these officials accountable for their actions.
or ICE brutality or detaining people without due process. No, she did something that Donald J. Trump
found much more objectionable. She engaged in an unmistakable self-promotion campaign!
The only one who shall be promoted is "King Trump."
"Noem’s decision to allot more than $200 million for an ad campaign, featuring herself
urging those living illegally in the U.S. to self-deport, had already rankled the president
for months for its self-promotional style."
"At the hearing, Noem told senators that the president had signed off on the ad campaign—an
assertion that upset Trump, who told senators and advisers he hadn’t signed off on such a campaign."
"Noem said the ads had been effective, leading Louisiana Republican Sen. John Kennedy
to shoot back that they had been 'effective in building [Noem’s] name recognition.'"

Total, abject fealty - no exceptions! Another "piggy" to the slaughter.
not even that.
its a grifting self-promoting campaign that did not cut trump in.
never doubt this is trump priority #1,2, and 3. and every taxpayer $ is his unless explicitly stated otherwise for fmaily & friends.
surprised? yes.
noem remained on par for every MAGA checkbox; unqualified, incompetent, deflective, overtalking in testimony, trump worship...
deep down, noem may fell this shields her from citizen murder legal complicity, and given the gop, it probably will. but dont be surprised if mullin is worse.
for now, noem's reinvention has sequentially completed doge's level 3 status : fraud, abuse, waste.
So will Markwayne be another fail? You betcha. Trump only hires the worst. This is by design.
