He hath put down the mighty from their seat and hath exalted the humble and weak
He hath filled the hungry with good things
And the rich he hath sent empty away"

Two things: Trump should be ashamed for trying to play Catholic identity politics when so many of his policies are directly counter to Catholic teaching. Second, someone should ask him whose Immaculate Conception the Feast Day is about. I guarantee you he doesn’t know.

If the replacement is less extreme than Noem, which seems far fetched to me, that’s great.
Usually, Trump replaces heads w/ more extreme MAGA views, but he’s aging fast & likely sees the cracks in his admin. It’s hard to tell on any day how deluded he is, but it seems hard for him to miss it, too.

EXCLUSIVE: In conversations with three former DHS officials—who served in both the Biden and Trump administrations and are still in touch with current staff—it was made clear that Trump is indeed considering moving on from Noem. @adriancarrasquillo.bsky.social latest.
