Trump Ousts Noem as DHS Secretary, Appoints Sen. Mullin
Trump is making Noem Special Envoy for The Shield of the Americas.
President Donald Trump ousted Kristi Noem as Department of Homeland Secretary.
“The current Secretary, Kristi Noem, who has served us well, and has had numerous and spectacular results (especially on the Border!), will be moving to be Special Envoy for The Shield of the Americas, our new Security Initiative in the Western Hemisphere we are announcing on Saturday in Doral, Florida. I thank Kristi for her service at ‘Homeland,’” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
Trump has chosen Oklahoma Sen. Markwayne Mullin to replace Noem.

Reports indicate that Noem has infuriated Trump these past few days. From Fox News:
Meanwhile, reports surfaced Thursday that Trump is “furious” with Noem over her performance in bicameral Judiciary Committee hearings this week, particularly over a contract for an advertisement that Sen. John Kennedy, R-La., and others grilled her on.
Trump reportedly took issue with her suggesting to Kennedy that he approved a taxpayer-funded ad subcontracted to a firm connected with her inner circle, according to National Review, which also reported that Mullin was being considered a top candidate for her replacement.
A White House official confirmed to Fox News that Trump did not know about the ad and did not approve it, despite her claims to the contrary at the hearings.
“It was a combination of her many unfortunate leadership failures. From [Minnesota] to the ad campaign to the allegations of an affair,” a source familiar with the situation told Fox News.
Everything we know on what led up to Noem's dismissal.
Started with the chaos in Minneapolis, and reached a climax on Tuesday. Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) told reporters he was "offended" when he heard about a $200 million ad contract for DHS that Noem was featured heavily in. He…

At least he didn’t make her dog-catcher… 🙂
Took her out back and shot her. That’s irony folks
Irony is you calling us “folks”
Have a matzo ball and chill
She should have treated the illegals like her dog
I have bred German Shepherds and Rottweilers over 50+ years. Reality is that some are born defective, or they become too ill to save. I have seen the same with other farm animals.
Sometimes the kindest thing is to put them down.
This crap about Noem bugs me, I am sure that she cared a great deal about the dog.
Don’t joke about that.
Lutnick should have been fired a month ago. He
Sorry; I hit “Submit” by mistake. I meant to say that he should have been stripped of any security clearance and arrested.
Don’t say sorry just go away
F**k off, Lord Haw-Haw.
I doubt he recognizes the reference.
You also mistakenly submitted right around the same time as Butz McGee….again.
Arrested?! For what?! No one is even alleging that he has committed any crime whatsoever! There are literally no accusations against him. So what would he be arrested for?
Nor is there any reason to fire him or touch his clearances, but calling for his arrest is completely bizarre and leaves the other things in the dust.
Please enlighten us on the illegalities Lutnick has engaged in that would warrant an arrest.
I can’t tell whether this is a promotion or just putting her in a place where she can’t do damage.
From Homeland Security, a domestic agenda, to Special Envoy for The Shield of the Americas, a Pan American initiative.
It’s not a promotion. She is being sent to Coventry. IMHO
A ridiculous, sub-moronic, ancient bimbo desperately trying to look hot. Good riddance.
She’s a beautiful woman who was the Governor of South Dakota, a rancher, mother who has every right to look her best
Go take a hike off a short peir
Pier
Hate this phone
Everyone, everyone (including her cuck husband) knows she is engaging in sexual intercourse with Corey Lewandowsk. She would not deny it at yesterday’s hearing. She applies makeup with a trowel, and the hair and plastic surgery are grotesque. You are probably a fan of pro wrestling.
Oh so YOU know her and her husband
Couldn’t be the LEFT has been gunning former since day ONE?
Stupid
Catty much?
I thought you meant au pair and was trying to make sense of the Go Take A Hike Off statement.
She’s cute, pretty even… but beautiful? I’d say a fading six who looks very good for her age. As a general scale a ten has a modeling contract, a nine can get into movies/TV and an eight is the prettiest girl in her hometown. The reality is that most of us are average on a standard distribution curve. There’s just as many ones as tens and both are rare. It’s perfectly fine to be average and probably more healthy psychologically to come to terms with one’s reality v gas lighting/sunshine pumping which leads to disappointment when folks overestimate their true level of physical attractiveness to the opposite sex.
I’m sure she stays up late worrying about your “who is beautiful vs pretty scale”
Bet your a real humdinger
Love this response
I’m like most people, within average of the standard distribution. I don’t lie to myself about where I stack up nor cruelly gaslight others about their own attractiveness.
Jennifer Connelly is the same age as Noem. Jennifer Connelly is beautiful. Noem isn’t in the same discussion as Jennifer Connelly. That level of physical attractiveness is rare. Nothing wrong with average though I can understand how some who’ve been gas lit might get upset at someone telling the truth.
All men have a 1-10 scale and most women, too. It’s not an obscure thing. I think she is a fine looking woman especially for one entering her 50’s much like Melania. What that has to do with her job performance is a little obscure to me.
Many women believe they are tens entitled to a six foot man, with six pack abs, and a six figure salary.
In reality, they are a six, who are capable of removing their mask every night.
The shallow always place greater emphasis on looks more than the other important factors like how a person treats others, sex appeal, their grasp of substance in conversation, and much more.
I’ve dated what many consider a 9, and we were engaged in our mid 20’s. But her friends convinced her that my monetary prospects were not “in her league.” We parted. She is still single at 59, unfulfilled at life, moving from one suitor to the next.
I met my wife of 30 years about 5 years later. Just as beautiful, very supportive who made me want to succeed beyond my wildest dreams. We have lived a fruitful life with successful children.
Most women don’t understand that men usually have two objective scales; 1-10 but also a pass/fail. Kinda like the rides at an amusement park ‘gotta be this tall to ride’ so long as women is, in a particular man’s eye, ‘pretty enough’ to go along with more important long term qualities; loyal, pleasant, generally fit, friendly, cooperative and most importantly feminine then that’s a keeper.
I wouldn’t mind a one nighter with her.
Not while she’s married and/or in a committed relationship though, that’s a red line for me.
Weird comment. The kind of comment we’d expect from a leftist who hates women 🤔
I’m more right wing than you, buddy boy. I just have good taste in women. You apparently enthuse over bargain basement bimbos dredged up from the gutter.
Wow, mailman , now known as “buddy boy”
Put you , Howard hunt, in the bullseye
You don’t get to be Gov by being a bimbo. Just admit it, you have a problem with good looking women because you have never been able to get one to look at you.
While I’m more of a fan of accepting your age and working with what you have naturally, that’s her choice to make. Women are far more likely to get attacked and dismissed as they age than men are which makes it easier for them to fall into the trap of trying to roll the clock back with plastic surgery, fillers, makeup and hair extensions. If it makes her feel better in a society that loves to tear down women based on their age, so be it.
Good point about women sometimes being unfairly ‘dismissed’ as they age though the reverse is also true; when younger in their most physically attractive years women also enjoy unfair/unearned privilege…until it fades.
I don’t care what she looks like, She was somewhat effective and was a pit bull when it came to the press and democrats. I liked that. However that did make her a lightning rod for criticism and there was a lot of that.
In retrospect she should have probably played good cop to someone else’s bad cop. She probably doesn’t have it in her to do that.
I just read the NBCNews report about this. Their up top kyron stated ‘Noem stepping down’. The tag line under her photo said ‘Noem stepping down’. Trump’s quote about her said ‘Noem stepping down’. Story details say she is taking another job w/ this administration.
NBCNews’ big bold headline proclaims TRUMP FIRES NOEM.
Folks, you may think you hate the MSM, but you don’t hate them enough.
That appointment depletes the Rs in Senate…. Is OK a lock on providing an R to fill Mullins’ seat? And how long will that take?
Trump has made a practice of depleting his support in Congress to fill administrative jobs. I hope he is right on this one.
This is my primary concern on this issue. The majorities in both houses of Congress were already razor thin.
OK has a Republican governor, who will likely make an appointment immediately.
That replacement will be the third person to serve in the same six-year term. The term Mullin is now serving was originally won by Jim Inhofe in 2020, and expires on Jan-3-2027. Inhofe had originally announced that he would retire at the end of his term, but then he got sick and announced in 2022 that he would retire at the beginning of 2023, once a replacement had been elected. Mullin won that special election to serve the rest of Inhofe’s term. Now he will be leaving and a third person will serve the 8 months until November, and then there’ll have to be a special election to see who serves out the remaining 2 months.
Got the scalp. It won’t matter. Mullin may well be more upsetting to the scalpers.
Goodbye tactical Barbie. In good riddance
I’m not sure Mullin is an upgrade. He is an enrolled member of the Cherokee Nation, OK has a GoP Gov to appoint his replacement and as a sitting Senator probably won’t face too much of a confirmation fight. If it had to be a Senator I’d have preferred Tom Cotton who is also a sitting Senator and Arkansas also has a GoP Gov while Sen Cotton has been very much in the forefront of reining in out of control overly permissive immigration, including far too many visas.
Tom Cotton is an important voice right where he is and is very much needed in the Senate.
Out of curiosity, what’s the problem with Mullins being an enrolled member of the Cherokee nation?
Not a problem at all. I was trying (seemingly failing) to point out his membership is unique in the Senate. I think there’s only maybe three or four in the HoR with acknowledged Tribal membership.
If anything it goes to show how ‘diverse’ Trump’s Cabinet is but he doesn’t pick based on DEI but rather selects based on the things he considers meritorious. IOW Trump ends up with a very diverse cabinet but unintentionally, it’s a an extra side benefit of seeking ‘merit’ wherever it it is found to put the round peg in the round hole v the way the d/prog do it; hammering in a square peg DEI hire into a round hole like Biden choosing VP Harris ‘Ima pick a black woman’ not the best person.
“lol. Yes, she was fired and a liability. And had a camera crew or something. You go with that.
The last Democrat DHS Secretary opened the border to allow millions of unvetted illegal immigrants into our country. As a result tens of thousands of Americans were killed by criminals and illegal drugs. He should have been impeached for the corrupt way he not only ignored the law, but deliberately undermined it. The country suffered for it and as a result the number for getting every last illegal alien out of the country is off the charts. It’s a losing issue with a plurality of the American public.
But Noem wore makeup and had a camera crew or something.
That’s so weak it makes me want to slap your momma for birthing such an idiot.”
Every Leftist and Republican squish and We Hate Everything Trump commentator will now preen as if they were individually responsible for getting Noem out of that office and promptly sharpen their blades for the replacement. Still, for somebody dropped into a department that hates her (like practically every other Trump cabinet secretary) and given a gigantic task with staggering criticism from everybody and their dog, she didn’t do too bad at all.
That is a reasonable and probably fairly accurate obituary for her time in office.
gop are basically losers
and the leftists control those losers
trump wanted to tryyyy and please them
it wont matter
I said from the start Noem was a bad choice.
From her stupid photo ops with her perfect makeup making a show of ‘going on ICE raids’ to these nonsense ads, she was more interested in boosting herself than getting the job done.
Now, my big negative on this is Mullin. I don’t necessarily have anything against him, but if Trump is suddenly willing to go down a Senator it makes me feel like he’s resigned to the SAVE act failing.
I hope I’m wrong though.
Well maybe Mullin will wear too much make into get hair plugs
Can’t have that!
Better to let in 20 million illegals in 4 years to murder Americans, yeah, that’s the key
Can’t be shown for what she is , a ranch woman with skills and beautiful
she did the job correctly
and the fact that she is female and took/takes care of business threatened the left as the are not for strong women
but for corrupt women and men pretending to be women
great choice
djt made a huge mistake hoping for this act to support gop midterms
her presence would make little to know difference in the mid term
another cave -in in an attempt to ease rino worries about the mid terms in which she would play hardly any part in from a pr pov
the left throws darts to see what will stick and all they have is weak asss polemic pro communistnazi agenda
we are a divided nation
always have been and it only might/is worse b/c we have the blmplo street armies demanding and winning criminals rights to cause violence
bad move djt
bad move
I think you are correct. Conservitives loosing the propaganda war that ICE is mean and this is an attempt to reset.
I am very disappointed of Kristi moving out of DHS.
Seems to me to been doing a outstanding job
This is a loss for Trump and he may not recover. He’s now rewarded the Minnesota push back. The resistance has proven effective and this will cause more. They only removed apx. 650,000 in 2025. They need 5 million by next January. Failure to remove the illegals will cost the Republicans the elections of 2026 and 2028. Mullin will need to greatly escalate the removals.
Get a clue, they were never going to get 5 million aliens out in a year and a half
They’d have to deport nearly 7K a day every day to erase what Biden did and put a dent in previous years. The only way to end the mass immigration is to make it impossible for them to stay here. No anchor babies. No free education for non citizen children. No free medical care. No ability to work.
In addition I noticed you missed the 2 million that deported themselves. That’s the real way to get Mass deportation, get them to do it by themselves
Five million by Jan ’27 seems ambitious. Did you mean a cumulative total of five million of ’25 and ’26? That’s more reasonable but given the obstructions of sanctuary jurisdiction and judicial activism to delay deportation it is an up hill climb.
The final couple years/18 months of the Trump 2.0 Admin will see far more deportations. First b/c of cuts to funding and tightened eligibility of govt ‘welfare’. Same for NGO that support illegal aliens. The court cases getting resolved and the judicial overreach getting overturned ends those particular schemes and similar schemes. Is sum the last year 1/2 of Trump and a full 8 years for Vance will see massive deportation, the bulk will be ‘self deported’.
Noem was occasionally a loose canon. Unnecessarily made her boss look bad.
I think you are correct. Overall she was doing well. Conservitives loosing the propaganda war that ICE is mean and she couldnt articulate herself well enough so she became an easy target.
Her problem was that she made Trump look bad. When she tried to claim Trump knew all about the $200 million ad campaign when he didn’t did not sit well with him. That type of stuff from a subordinate isn’t something he is going to put up with.
She was moved sideways into some Pan America Security Co ordinator position so wasn’t removed from the administration which would have happened if Trump was really angry at her.
