President Donald Trump keeps racking up the wins. Pete Hegseth was sworn in as Secretary of Defense earlier Saturday after being confirmed by the Senate Friday night by a 50-50 vote, with Vice President J.D. Vance casting the tiebreaking vote. Now we're learning that Kristi Noem has been confirmed as the new Secretary of Homeland Security. Anything — a wet sponge — would have been a huge upgrade over Alejandro "The Border Is Secure" Mayorkas, so we'll take it.
🚨BREAKING: The Senate has confirmed Kristi Noem in rare weekend vote to become the Secretary of Homeland Security. The vote was 59-34 with six Democrats joining Republicans in voting to confirm.

Six Democrats broke ranks? That's unheard of.
Huge win for America’s security!

Let’s get Tulsi through now.

We still need to get Tulsi Gabbard, Kash Patel, and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. confirmed. Those will be a tougher sell.
The Senate's approval of Noem is a clear message that we want security, not ideology.

I know some people are critical of Kristi Noem, but I think she’ll do a good job.

Again, a huge upgrade. Plus, it shows some momentum on Trump's part in getting his nominations through the Senate.
