Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem took heat from several lawmakers over former associates of hers alleged receiving a massive government contract for an ad campaign.
Noem on Tuesday faced the Senate Judiciary Committee to testify on Department of Homeland Security funding. Throughout the hearing, numerous senators confronted Noem about the $220 million that DHS spent on an ad campaign in which she stars. The ads focused on the departments deportation efforts in the country.
According to a November 2025 report by ProRepublica, one of the beneficiaries of that ad deal was the Republican firm Strategy Group. The firm, the report continued, played a central role in her 2022 South Dakota gubernatorial campaign. Noem served as governor of South Dakota from 2019 to 2025.
Corey Lewandowski, Noems adviser and alleged romantic partner, also reportedly worked extensively with the firm. The lions share of the deal went to a Delaware-based company called Safe America Media. It was founded just days before it was awarded the contract.

I want to see the grifters & murderers around Trump BEHIND BARS. I don't want another Merrick fucking Garland as AG, I want someone like a Harris, Schiff, or Jamie Raskin. Hell, make one of them an interim appointment if need be, and then GO TO TOWN.
This entire regime is A MASSIVE CORRUPT CRIMINAL CABAL, stealing OUR MONEY, and MURDERING PEOPLE right and left, with utter impunity.
