Some of the speakers were very emotional and went up and praised the president.

thanked God for putting him in the White House.

So just a very emotional and excited ceremony.

And of course, it was pretty ironic to be in such a great place and to see all these people applauding the president only a couple hours after a reporter in the front row of the White House press briefing room goes, who's called the president racist?

I think the feeling around the White House is mostly that Tom Homan has brought a sense of more calm, of more peace to Minneapolis.

People are happy with the job that he's doing.

He himself has, you know, when you see him in his press conferences, which he's done about once a week since he got there, he's very calm.

He's very serious.

He talks about the importance of working with local officials and also getting the job done, de-escalating.

And then meanwhile, on the DHS front, our colleague Jenny Ter has done some really good reporting showing kind of the drama that's been going down over there.

You have reports in a lot of legacy outlets about concerns about Kristi Noem and her relationship

with Corey Lewin, all the different things that are going on in this side, this department.

You have Tricia McLaughlin, who we've worked with many times, leaving DHS, going on to another role.

They're filling her role with two other women who will be taking on the role of the DHS spokesman and assistant secretary.

We're excited to work with them, hear what they have to say.

And Tricia has not said where she's going next.

There's been rumors floated that she could possibly fill in for Caroline when Caroline goes on maternity leave, since Caroline will be having a baby this early summer, late spring.

So lots of different movement shifting parts.

There's a lot of speculation about where Kristi Noem stands with Trump.

The president met with her and with Corey Lewandowski as all this drama was going on with Homan going to Minneapolis.
