More: In what experts described as a highly unusual arrangement, the nonprofit routed funds to a personal company of Noem's that had recently been established in Delaware. The payment totaled $80,000 that year, a significant boost to her roughly $130,000 government salary. Since the nonprofit is a so-called dark money group " one that's not required to disclose the names of its donors " the original source of the money remains unknown.
Noem then failed to disclose the $80,000 payment to the public. After President Donald Trump selected Noem to be his secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, she had to release a detailed accounting of her assets and sources of income from 2023 on. She did not include the income from the dark money group on her disclosure form, which experts called a likely violation of federal ethics requirements.

This is really about hating women.
Everyone is doing it, both sides.
Just say it, you hate women, and if you are a women complaining you definitely hate women.

" She did not include the income from the dark money group on her disclosure form, which experts called a likely violation of federal ethics requirements."
Likely?!? LIKELY???
Here's the IRS's approach to the average taxpayer:
If you got the money, you KNOW you got the money.. Period, full stop.
This is a Clarence Thomas level of perfidy. According to the IRS, there is NO EXCUSE for omitting income.
Now say it with me, Republicans: "No one is above the law!"

Noem was inspired by the------------- who steals from children's cancer charities.

Coincidentally, the gold Rolex chronograph puppy-killing DHS Secretary Kristi Noem wore on her 2025 Latin American prison tour is worth $80,000:

She blew her whole grift on a watch? And not even a Lewzer watch?
