BREAKING: KRISTI NOEM IS OUT AT DHS. TRUMP SAYS HE'S REPLACING HER WITH SEN. MARKWAYNE MULLIN.

1:50 PM Mar 5, 2026

AND/BUT it's not clear how Trump can simply announce this is effective on March 31. Mullin is not Senate-confirmed and not eligible to become acting secretary under laws governing cabinet-level vacancies.

...just a pack of scurrying rats.

...as I understand the process of replacing her,

Per the Federal Vacancies Reform Act, acting DHS Secretary can only be: the first assistant (deputy), another executive PAS officer, or a qualifying senior DHS employee. A sitting Senator like Mullin qualifies for none he's legislative, not executive. Trump announced the full Secretary role effective March 31, so this assumes immediate nomination + Senate confirmation by then. That's ambitious (hearings typically take longer). If Noem departs first without confirmation, the deputy would act.

1. Mullen...

Though an idiot, I don't think he's the cruel monster that icebarbie is. I think he might actually be a little better. He tries to take orders but is too stupid to execute them well.

2. he's just as bad a demagogue, and even more of a trump bootlicker.

Oklahoma Republican Sen. Markwayne Mullin has been rebuked online after he appeared on Fox News Monday and mused on the smell of war, despite never having served in the military himself.

Mullin, a member of the Senate Armed Forces Committee, was discussing the U.S.-Israeli airstrikes on Iran when he channelled his inner Lt. Col. Kilgore from Apocalypse Now (1979), who famously relished the smell of napalm in the morning.

War is ugly, the senator declared authoritatively. It smells bad. If anybody has ever been there and been able to smell the war thats happening around you and taste it and fill it in your nostrils and hear it, its something that youll never forget.

And its ugly. And fortunately, you have President [Pete] Hegseth. Sorry, Secretary Hegseth That has got a great relationship with President [Donald] Trump and President Hegseths been there and hes done that.

Despite accidentally elevating the defense secretary to the presidency twice, it was Mullin presuming to speak for U.S. soldiers that sparked uproar.

ICYMI from Bloomberg: Markwayne Mullins Personal Bond Propels Him to Trump Confidant

Mullins bond with the president has positioned him to be one of the most influential lawmakers in Trumps second term, with both a direct line to the president and congressional ties to help shape his legislative agenda. He stuck by Trump during the times when the presidents political career seemed over through Jan. 6, a second impeachment, and the barrage of criminal charges. In doing so, as Trump returned to the White House, Mullin had demonstrated the attribute he values above all: loyalty.

At the same time, hes one of Trumps most effective attack dogs. He posts on X frequently often more than a dozen times a day defending the administration policies, talking up his nominees, and slapping down the woke mob out to get Trump.

Mullin also played a pivotal role in getting some of Trump�s nominees across the line, including Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. for Secretary of Health and Human Services, according to a senior White House official who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss internal strategy. The official described him as working tirelessly and being energetic in advancing Trumps goals.

4. I'm not...

Defending nor advocating for him at all, I just think he's not the totally heartless monster that the puppy killer is.

The press huddle where called a 'misspoke' shows me that he is willing to accept error to some degree. Not much but something.

Other than that, there is no person who is willing to do the bidding of the orangeanus that is qualified to do any of the jobs they've been appointed to do.

5. I get that

...I just think you might want to wait a bit before making that judgment.

He has exactly the same kind of ignorance that's led to an agency of maga militia doing what they damn well please under the protection of the federal government.

He's done nothing but demagogue immigrants, smear Pretti and Good... I just stopped posting stuff to you about him because a headache develped in my right eye from the stress of thinking about the months and months to come of taking down what this inveterate liar says, and desperately trying to stop and end what he does.

He needs to be opposed 100% by Democrats in the Senate, and of course that doesn't include any hope for the one dependably republican friendly vote we have in the party on important issues.

3. cough

6. take that and extrapolate it out to this clown directing an army of maga militia

...they're just going to be even more encouraged to play cowboys and Indians with people residing in this country.

He has an inexhaustable list of ignorance and cruelty that's come from his simpleton mouth.

8. I am surprised

Bovino wasn’t called back into action . , just for the cruel streak
Mark Wayne is ignorant enough to be mean, and will probably get his ass kicked by his ICE goons

10. Mullin is definitely qualified to beat up immigrants.

7. Doesn't this MMA fighter have to be confirmed?

Or does Congress just rubber stamp all of Trump's nominees like he's some kind of dictator?

Between November 2006 and April 2007, Mullin fought in three mixed martial arts competitions, winning all three.[93][94]
