DoomsdaysCW<p>Speaking of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/KristiNoem" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>KristiNoem</span></a>. I came across this very interesting article from <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/OpenSecrets" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>OpenSecrets</span></a>! I&#39;ll betcha Kristi is <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Trump</span></a>&#39;s pick for 2028 (assuming he doesn&#39;t try and stay in power until...) Anyhow, apparently <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/JDVance" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>JDVance</span></a> has lost favor already (hasn&#39;t sucked up enough?).</p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Trump</span></a> administration profile: Kristi Noem</p><p> By Emma Rose Brown<br /> February 5, 2025</p><p>&quot;Shortly after winning the election in November, President Donald Trump nominated Kristi Noem to be secretary of homeland security in his second administration. Following a Jan. 17 hearing, her nomination cleared the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, and she was confirmed by the Senate on Jan. 25. The longtime Trump loyalist immediately began carrying out his hardline immigration agenda. </p><p>&quot;Who is she? After serving in the South Dakota Legislature for four years, Noem represented the state in the House of Representatives from 2011 to 2019, before becoming governor in 2019. As a member of Congress, Noem backed Trump’s Executive Order 13769, which banned travel to the United States by citizens of seven <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Muslim" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Muslim</span></a>-majority countries and temporarily halted the U.S. refugee program. While governor, she deployed dozens of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SouthDakota" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>SouthDakota</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NationalGuard" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>NationalGuard</span></a> members to the southern border in coordination with Texas officials. A lifelong rancher and farmer, Noem was under consideration to be Trump’s running mate until she wrote about killing a family dog in her 2024 memoir, &#39;No Going Back.&#39;</p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FollowTheMoney" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>FollowTheMoney</span></a></p><p>&quot;Noem has raised nearly $35 million (see federal and state data), in total, for her eight elections. Her two gubernatorial races brought in more than $24 million, and about half of those donations came from out of state. In her most recent gubernatorial election, she received $2.9 million from the Republican Governors Association, more than double its contribution to her first campaign.</p><p>&quot;After being elected to Congress, she soon separated herself as a top fundraiser in the freshman class. She raised $169,000 in the first quarter of 2011, the third-most of any first-term member of Congress. During her time in Congress, PACs donated over $3 million, with over half a million in contributions from health professionals and $370,000 from the insurance industry. </p><p>&quot;In 2017, she ranked in the top third of members of Congress in terms of wealth, with an estimated net worth of $2.35 million. Her husband, Bryon Noem, owns an insurance agency, which was then valued between $1 million and $5 million. </p><p>&quot;Noem’s efforts to send National Guard troops to the U.S.-Mexico border in 2019 were supported by a $1 million donation from <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WillisJohnson" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>WillisJohnson</span></a>, the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/billionaire" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>billionaire</span></a> Republican donor and founder of junkyard company <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Copart" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Copart</span></a>.&quot;</p><p>Why does it matter?</p><p>As DHS secretary, Noem will be tasked with overseeing federal immigration policy as well as domestic terrorism. Johnson’s support for National Guard activity, though legal, concerned experts who worried that the private funding of military actions could further politicize the military and set a dangerous precedent.&quot;</p><p><a href="https://www.opensecrets.org/news/2025/02/trump-administration-profile-kristi-noem" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">opensecrets.org/news/2025/02/t</span><span class="invisible">rump-administration-profile-kristi-noem</span></a><br /><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/USPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>USPol</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Idiocracy" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Idiocracy</span></a></p>
