The US Senate is now voting on the nomination of Kristi Noem for DHS. Several Democrats astonishingly voted to advance her vote earlier, so her confirmation looks likely.
While Noem will be in charge on paper if confirmed, let’s be clear that it’s Stephen Miller who will be running the show on immigration. But don’t get it wrong: she’ll be an eager accomplice on “bloody” mass deportation.
Hide your dogs, Kristi Noem has been confirmed as the new DHS Secretary by a 59-34 vote.
Six Senate Democrats who voted with Republicans to confirm Noem:
John Fetterman
Tim Kaine
Andy Kim
Gary Peters
Jeanne Shaheen
and Elissa Slotkin
