In case you're out of the loop: Cricket was the name of Kristi Noem's dog that she murdered because it "acted poorly." She recounted the story of killing her dog Cricket and a goat as "tests of leadership" and "making hard choices" in her book.
I've forgotten which rep told Noem that her tenure was at an end: "Either Trump will fire you, you will resign or you will be impeached." Her response was smug refusal to acknowledge that anything had been said.
On 3/5/26 at 12:56 PM PST the news that she was fired this morning is about 3 hours old.

It worked. Puppy Killer lost her cool, Trump got embarrassed by her for the last time, and she was fired while she was holding an event.
