- California Gov. Gavin Newsom wasted no time bidding adieu to ousted Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem.
- Newsom posted on TikTok shortly after the news broke President Donald Trump was replacing Noem with U.S. Sen. Markwayne Mullin to run the department.
- “Gone, but not forgotten,” Newsom captioned the post with photos of Noem wearing military garb with “In Memoriam 2025-2026” across the photos.
- Other Dems also mocked Noem, including Rep. Ilhan Omar, posting a similar tribute to Taylor Swift lyrics.
- Trump announced Noem’s firing on Truth Social Thursday moments before she took the stage at a law enforcement conference in Nashville. She reportedly learned of the new title moments before her remarks.
