Donald Trump today announced his decision to remove Kristi Noem as Secretary of Homeland Security, the first cabinet level official firing of his second term.

The media will credit her fall to some shady no-bid contract she was behind, her use of a private jet, or administration rivals like Stephen Miller and whatever boring DC drama. But the real reason is obvious: public activism.

I think she has been overexposed, and is unpopular, but who knows if that's what Trump is responding to. Though if he's gonna throw anyone under the bus, it would for sure be a woman or a non-white person. Looking forward to that happening to Patel, though they always manage to find someone even worse. And you're right, I missed that he talked to an unnamed official. There could be a lot more to it that we don't know about too.
