From an Atlantic review of a forthcoming book, Undue Process: The Inside Story of Trumps Mass Deportation Program, which describes the general awfulness of DHS under Noem and her fuckbuddy Lewandowski:
Trump had reportedly considered tapping Noem to be his running mate in 2024. But her name was crossed off the short list after she disclosed in a memoir that she had shot an untrainable family dog years earlier. The story prompted widespread outrage and ridicule, and many observers assumed it sank her prospects of an administration post. But Ainsley reports that Trump actually saw this particular biographical detail as an asset in his homeland-security secretaryit was one of the reasons he chose her.

Run by Epstein. The particular partyt he referenced was that Trump wanted to kill a kid, but they told him no and said he could kill puppies. It was a pretty gruesome account.
