We’re in the Noem Stretch

In an administration that prides itself on hiring the worst possible people and gleefully celebrates their awful performances, it’s really something to be fired. Congrats to Kristi Noem for the achievement. Trump ousts DHS secretary Kristi Noem and replaces her with Republican senator. “Noem’s tenure was marked by killings of US citizens by federal agents, a rumored affair, and $220m spent on ads.” Noem will still be part of the administration in her new role as Envoy for The Shield of the Americas. (I can never remember if that role is DC or Marvel…)

+ Here’s the new Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin saying of our Iran efforts that “this is war” before explaining that it is in fact, not war. (Think about it. If Mullin doesn’t oversee the murder and disparaging of American citizens, that alone will make him a major improvement.)
