Who cares? That’s all I have to say after reading a lengthy article in New York magazine about Department of Homeland Security Kristi Noem and how she’s the face of the Trump police state, which also doesn’t exist. It’s a sordid tale that aims to cast the Trump administration as fraught with toxic politics, soap opera drama, and reported draconian policy pushes, as told by anonymous sources.

On one of these flights was Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Maryland man who had been granted legal protection because of legitimate concerns for his safety. The Trump administration admitted Garcia’s deportation was a mistake but claimed there was nothing it could do about it now that he was no longer in U.S. custody; Garcia later claimed he was beaten and psychologically tortured, while other deportees have said they were sexually assaulted…
