Homeland Security Kristi Noem got $80K from dark money group, but hid it from federal disclosure forms
When Kristi Noem was chosen by US President Donald Trump to be the head of Homeland Security , people started to look more closely at her finances. But new tax records show that she made a colossal amount of money in secret from a dark money nonprofit as the former governor of South Dakota and never reported it on federal disclosure forms. This situation raises a lot of ethical questions. She secretly accepted a cut of the money she raised for a nonprofit that supports her political career in 2023, while she was serving as governor of South Dakota. According to experts, she most likely violated ethical standards by failing to disclose this income on her federal disclosure forms. ALSO READ: Dear Mr Japan?

Lulutox Undo Why wasn't the $80K disclosed publicly? The nonprofit transferred funds to a personal business of Noem's that had just been founded in Delaware, in what experts called a very unusual arrangement. That year, the $80,000 payment was a substantial increase over her approximately $130,000 government salary, as per a report by ProPublica. The $80,000 payment was then not made public by Noem. The original source of the funding is still unknown because the nonprofit is a so-called dark money organization, which is exempt from disclosing the identities of its donors, as per a report by ProPublica. Live Events Noem was required to publish a thorough accounting of her assets and revenue streams starting in 2023 after President Donald Trump appointed her as his secretary of the Department of Homeland Security. ProPublica was informed by experts that Noem's personal embezzlement of funds from political donors was concerning. The American Resolve Policy Fund , a nonprofit organization, claimed in a filing that the $80,000 was a payment for fundraising. According to the group, Noem generated hundreds of thousands of dollars. Could this break any ethics or state laws? It is unremarkable for a politician to solicit funds for nonprofits and other organizations that advance their campaigns or objectives. Experts indicated that it is atypical for a politician to retain a portion of the funds for personal use. 'If contributors to these nonprofits not only influence an elected official's political prospects but also directly furnish their income, that is unprecedented and troubling,' stated Daniel Weiner, a former Federal Election Commission attorney who currently directs the Brennan Center's campaign finance initiatives. Lee Schoenbeck, a seasoned Republican politician and lawyer who served as the state Senate's leader until recently, speculated that Noem's outside income might have violated South Dakota law. The governor and other high-ranking officials are required by law to dedicate themselves entirely to their official duties. Details of the payment were found by ProPublica in the American Resolve Policy Fund's annual tax form. The American Resolve Policy Fund is a part of a network of political organizations that support Noem and her agenda. What has Noem's lawyer said in her defense? Trevor Stanley, Noem's attorney, stated that the Office of Government Ethics had examined and approved her financial information pertaining to this organization and that Noem complied with the law in both letter and spirit. Follow-up inquiries concerning whether the ethics office knew about the $80,000 payment and whether Noem fully disclosed all of her income on easily accessible public documents were not answered by Stanley. What else has Kristi Noem come under fire for financially? Noem has come under fire for using public funds to pay for travel to Houston, Canada, and Paris. Despite being one of Trump's least wealthy Cabinet members, her personal spending patterns have drawn notice. FAQs What's up with Noem's $80,000 payment? She obtained it from a nonprofit involved in political fundraising but did not include it in required federal financial disclosure forms . According to experts, this most likely violates ethical standards. Did Kristi Noem admit to owning the LLC that received payment? Yes, but only for her Cabinet confirmation. Until then, the LLC, which she formed while still governor, had never been made public.

'Free America': July 4, a federal holiday in US, set to see huge protests in US cities. What's behind the rage?
After the success of 'No Kings' protests organised on June 14 against US President Donald Trump, a nationwide boycott of all July 4th events is the latest in a series of actions by a grassroots advocacy group against the US President. The group says there is "no real independence to celebrate" under the current Trump administration. According to NewsWeek, "free America" events against President Trump administration are bein organised across the US throughout the July Fourth weekend. The People's Union USA, led by John Schwarz , urges Americans to "stay home, stay silent and gather only with loved ones" on July 4th, a federal holiday that commemorates the signing of the Declaration of Independence, as per local media reports. ALSO READ: Thomas Fugate: Grocery clerk leading nation's top terror post is Donald Trump's most shocking appointment Nationwide protests against Trump on July 4 The events follow other nationwide protests against the Trump administration and its policies organized by the 50501 Movement (50 protests, 50 states, one movement) and other groups since he returned to the White House in January. On June 14, millions of people hit the streets in the US targeting Trump's military parade marking the Army's 250th anniversary that coincided with his 79th birthday. John Schwarz, in an Instagram video on June 25, called the 4th of July boycott a chance to "make silence our loudest statement" by urging Americans to avoid fireworks shows and parades and to forgo waving the US flag "for a country that doesn't support you back." He citied several motivations behind the movement including nationwide Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrests, backlash at nationwide protests and the Trump administration "acting like a dictatorship." Live Events "The 4th of July should celebrate freedom, but what freedom do we really have?" Schwarz said rhetorically in his video. "Are we free to be watched all the time? Free to be taxed heavily? Free to choose between two corporate-backed candidates? Free to work long hours and still struggle while billionaires avoid taxes?" On July 4th, Schwarz encourages people to stay home with loved ones and to forgo attending any public fireworks shows or parades. He also encourages people to spend money at big corporations, and instead to support small, local businesses.

Palestinians chant ‘love you Trump' as US-backed GHF humanitarian aid distributed in Gaza
Palestinians have expressed gratitude to US President Donald Trump after US-backed humanitarian aid was distributed in Gaza. A video, shared by White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt on Sunday, showed Palestinians chanting slogans like "I love you Trump" and "I love you Donald" as aid from US and Israeli-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation reached Gaza. Leavitt also shared a post by Trump saying, 'MAKE THE DEAL IN GAZA. GET THE HOSTAGES BACK!!!' Meanwhile, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said "many opportunities have opened up" following Israel's air strikes on Iran, including the possibility of bringing back the remaining hostages held in Hamas captivity in Gaza. "As you probably know, many opportunities have opened up now following this victory. Firstly, to rescue the hostages. Of course, we will also need to solve the Gaza issue, defeat Hamas, but I believe we will accomplish both missions," Netanyahu said on Sunday, according to CNN. Reacting to Netanyahu's comments, the Hostages Families Forum Headquarters called for a single comprehensive deal to bring back all 50 hostages and end the fighting in Gaza, reported CNN. "What is needed is release, not rescue. This difference of one word could mean the difference between salvation and loss for the hostages," the forum said in a statement. Israeli forces killed at least 22 people and wounded 20 others, many while attempting to get desperately needed food aid in southern Gaza on Monday, according to witnesses, hospitals, and Gaza's Health Ministry. Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis said it received the bodies of 11 people who were shot while returning from an aid site associated with the Israeli and US-backed Gaza Humanitarian Fund in southern Gaza, part of a deadly pattern that has killed more than 500 Palestinians in the chaotic and controversial aid distribution programme over the past month. Ten others were killed at a United Nations aid warehouse in northern Gaza, according to the Health Ministry. The southern Gaza strike happened around 3 kilometres from the GHF site in the city of Khan Younis, as Palestinians returned from the site along one of the only accessible routes. Palestinians are often forced to travel long distances to access the GHF hubs in hopes of obtaining aid.
