"Because at the end of the day, what really makes anybody qualified for any job?" Kristi Noem's 28-year-old aide, Madison Sheahan, wasted $2.25 million on unusable ICE vehicles in a non-compete contract with MAGA Trump GOP donor Rick Hendrick, owner of Hendrick Motorsports for 25 Chevrolet Tahoes.
The 28-year-old Sheahan graduated from Ohio State in 2019 and left ICE in January to run for Congress in #Ohio. She was Noem's political director from February 2021 to January 2024. In 2025, she became deputy director if #ICE.
"I absolutely think I’m qualified for the job," Sheahan said last year when questioned about her lack of credentials. "Because at the end of the day, what really makes anybody qualified for any job?" #USPol #Noem #ICE

"Kristi Noem once led a dog to a gravel pit and ended its life with the cold precision of a mafia hit. On Thursday, the homeland security secretary confronted the grim truth that she, too, was expendable."
Keep tabs on her, she still has a lot of crimes to answer for and a looooooot of jail time waiting for her when the regime falls..

@touaregtweet@mastodon.social #Noem is the most corrupt leader of the #DHS that has ever existed. She is the most cruel, and honestly, she should recieve the same punishment she doles out on others, only worse. I am not a good person for saying this, but she needs a stern lesson in manners and kindness.

What have we learned during the first year of the Trump presidency?

IOW, it would be nice if #Trump, #Noem, #Patel and the rest would obey the laws of the land and keep their oaths to uphold the Constitution.

#Noem throwing #Miller under the bus to try and save her job is so fucking hilarious. if there's one thing that's consistent among #Trump and his lackeys, it's that there's no loyalty between any of them.

Morning, all,
Baron Vladimir Harkonnen put 'Beast' Rabban on Arrakis to oppress its people so heavily that replacing him with Feyd-Rautha would seem like a release.
Sorry, I'll Read That Again...
President Donald Tantrump put 'Bovine' Bovino in charge of #ICEcoldKillers in Minnesota so that replacing him with Tom Homan would look like an actual relief from oppression.
Republicans, invoke the #25A (and show us the #EpsteinFiles).

Alex Pretti was a registered 'concealed carry' gun owner.
A mob of masked armed men dressed in a hodgepodge of outfits, even blue-jeans, some but not all emblazoned with 'ICE Agent' or 'Federal Agent' badges, forced him prone, took the pistol he was legally entitled to carry, and executed him.
#GOP and #NRA claim #2A is Americans' defence against tyranny.
Clearly it's not.
Nor did it protect him personally.

After 6 hours of watching Jack Smith's testimony, it finally dawned on me what I find so inspiring about him. Of course, it's the truth-telling, the integrity, & the utter brilliance of the man but it's also his calmness, professionalism, & unwillingness to rise to #MAGA's foolish bait, esp. King fool Jim Jordan.
& then I think of Smith's demeanor in relation to the outrageous, puerile, snotty, rude behavior of #Noem, #RFK, #Bondi, #Patel, etc.
He is a hero for our time.
