This wasn't about reigning in DHS

Graeme Against the Pedo supporting GOP @DetestsGOP 2h
Anyone else think that @KristiNoem wasn’t fired for “appropriating funds” from the public purse but rather it eas because she didn’t pay Trump his cut?

...I'll bet he creams himself whenever Trump looks his way or speaks his name.


ICYMI from Bloomberg: Markwayne Mullins Personal Bond Propels Him to Trump Confidant

Mullins bond with the president has positioned him to be one of the most influential lawmakers in Trumps second term, with both a direct line to the president and congressional ties to help shape his legislative agenda. He stuck by Trump during the times when the presidents political career seemed over through Jan. 6, a second impeachment, and the barrage of criminal charges. In doing so, as Trump returned to the White House, Mullin had demonstrated the attribute he values above all: loyalty.

At the same time, hes one of Trumps most effective attack dogs. He posts on X frequently often more than a dozen times a day defending the administration policies, talking up his nominees, and slapping down the woke mob out to get Trump.

Mullin also played a pivotal role in getting some of Trump�s nominees across the line, including Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. for Secretary of Health and Human Services, according to a senior White House official who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss internal strategy. The official described him as working tirelessly and being energetic in advancing Trumps goals.
