apnews.com Senate confirms Noem as Trump's homeland security secretary

The Senate has confirmed Kristi Noem as homeland security secretary, putting the South Dakota governor in charge of a sprawling agency that is essential to national security and President Donald Trump’s plans to clamp down on illegal immigration.

Now ALL Native American reservations can outlaw her, instead of just the SD ones.

- John Fetterman, in case you haven't been paying attention, is a DINO asshole.
  
  I'm aware
- Did not expect andy Kim to have voted for her, disappointing.
  
  I’m making sure his office knows how, as his constituent, how deeply disappointed I am.
- this is why "they" will always win. they vote in unison to hate and to grift. democrats splinter off willy-nilly and do their own thing or get wrapped-up in one teeny tiny mostly insignificant thing and forget about the 'big picture'.
  
  It's also why The DCCC makes it their fucking job to ratfuck actually left leaning candidates in Democratic primaries.
- They see there being more power available being Toadies for Republicans. and they aren't exactly wrong.

Hide your dogs

Other than just being trash people, what qualifications do nominees like Noem even have?
