THE BIG NEWS

'ICE Barbie' Kristi Noem Fired; Trump Picks MMA Buffoon to Take Over Homeland Security

Notorious puppy killer Kristi Noem's tenure leading the Department of Homeland Security was a disaster for America. She preened and gloated in front of torture victims deported to El Salvador by the Trump regime; oversaw the deadly invasion of American cities by federal forces and the expansion of a concentration camp network; slandered peaceful protesters as domestic terrorists; and fostered corruption throughout her department with her deputy and lover, Corey Lewandowski. Needless to say, none of this benefited America's security.

But for her boss, Donald Trump, the final straw may have been her poor performance in televised Congressional hearings, according to NBC News. "I wasn't thrilled with" her defense of a $220 million anti-immigration ad campaign, Trump says. "I spent less money than that to become president. I didn't know about it." But the New York Post's sources claim it was the Lewandowski affair that sealed Noem's fate. Whatever.

As news broke of Noem's firing by Trump, she was giving a speech to a law enforcement convention in Nashville, Tennessee. "Good riddance," said Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey. Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz echoed that sentiment, writing that "Noem has done a stunning amount of damage and it's good she's gone. But this doesn't change the fact that we need a complete overhaul of DHS, impartial investigations into the killings of two American citizens, and information on children that were taken from Minnesota."

Congressional Democratic leaders tell the Washington Post that Noem's ouster isn't enough to end the four-week standoff over Homeland Security funding. But Trump's pick to replace Noem, former mixed martial arts fighter-turned-Oklahoma Sen. Markwayne Mullin, is likely to be confirmed without incident, because he's popular with Senate colleagues. Never mind that he cashed in a cool million or more with dubious federal pandemic loans. And never mind his qualifications, or lack thereof. In this regime, loyalty to Trump is the only qualification that matters. And performing well on TV, of course.

DOJ Releases More Epstein Files on Trump Accuser, But 37 Pages Still Missing 

The Justice Department yesterday released 16 of 53 pages previously withheld from its files on the late elite sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, claiming that the pages had been "incorrectly coded as duplicative." The newly released pages include FBI interview summaries with a woman who accused Donald Trump of raping her when she was 13 years old, after she was introduced to him through Epstein. Per Politico, the alleged victim claims in the interviews that she received threatening phone calls after the incident with Trump – which should ring a bell for anyone who followed the Stormy Daniels saga. The allegation is uncorroborated but independent investigators of the Epstein case say it should be taken seriously. It's not clear what's contained in the files that are still being withheld.

SOME NUMBER

$1.75 trillion

That's how much Nazi-saluting oligarch Elon Musk is valuing his company SpaceX in an anticipated initial public stock offering that could come as early as this month. As the Financial Times notes, the valuation is a whopping seven times higher than SpaceX booked less than two years ago, while the company's revenues remain in the low $20 billion range, making the deal "a moonshot valuation inspired by a healthy dose of moonshine."
