Gavin Newsom is pouring one out for Kristi Noem … trolling the outgoing Homeland Security Secretary over her firing.
The California Governor gave a nod to Noem’s ouster Thursday with a social media post … an “In Memoriam” of sorts for Noem’s short stint as President Trump‘s DHS Secretary.

Newsom’s post features a slideshow of Noem photos playing to a version of Sarah McLachlan‘s famous song, “I Will Remember You.” It says “IN MEMORIAM KRISTI NOEM 2025 – 2026” and later “IT WAS THE BEST WORST OF TIMES.”
The Democrat captioned the post, “Gone, but not forgotten.”
As we reported … Trump fired Noem Thursday over social media, naming Oklahoma Senator Markwayne Mullin as her successor.

Noem’s firing came on the heels of a tense hearing Tuesday, when Noem got grilled by Senators from both sides of the aisle … including Thom Tillis, a Republican from North Carolina who blasted her for poor leadership.
