    I would expect the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security to fly on a government jet staffed by the military. Apparently waiting a few hours for one of those jets to be available and interacting with normal military people is too much for her to handle.

    Just more proof that DOGE was a scam.

    DOGE's only purpose was to make it easy for Elon and company to steal data, and put systems in place to hold onto that access.

    Its other purpose was to strip regulating agencies so billionaires would also have no enforcement to fuck up the economy and environment with no repercussions.

    It was unfortunately wildly successful.

    Of all the people I want to see the legal system directed at, Noem definitely ranks way up there. The amount of cosplay and trolling from that bitch, JFC.
