"According to numerous sources familiar with the matter, Noem was the DHS secretary in name only. She, like so many other top officials in Trump’s government, primarily did what White House policy architect Stephen Miller told her to do.

It has been the Stephen Miller DHS since January 2025. It will continue to belong to him, no matter where Noem ends up.

"The final straw for Trump was Noem’s claim before the senate on Tuesday that Trump personally approved her $220 million dollar taxpayer giveaway to Republican consultants connected to Noem, so they could launch a TV campaign that most prominently featured Noem. Her attempt to throw Trump under the bus is not how MAGA works."

"She was chastised by members of both parties for acquiring three multimillion-dollar private jets, one outfitted with a private bedroom.

She was admonished for lowering hiring and training standards for new immigration agents to such an extent that recruits were reportedly struggling with basic literacy and physical fitness."

"Turns out that spending hundreds of millions of dollars on promoting yourself instead of Trump and sleeping with your subordinate on a government-funded plane (allegedly) is a bridge too far even for this president."
