I've never been a Noem advocate and especially after that dog/goat incident surfaced.
Same for Rubio.
Never liked him.

I've changed my opinion regarding both of them.
They are doing a fantastic job.
Same for Harmeet Dhillon and Tulsi.

I admit I'm mixed on Bondi and Kash Patel. Both seem to be all talk no action.
I'm not convinced that they are in control.
