The Homeland Security Department will have a new secretary after the Senate confirmed Markwayne Mullin in a 54-45 vote to the role Monday evening, paving the way for a new chapter in the tumultuous period for the agency that has spearheaded President Trump’s immigration crackdown. Mullin, who will soon resign his seat as a Republican senator from Oklahoma, will replace Kristi Noem at DHS, who drew bipartisan condemnation for her handling of Trump’s mass deportation effort and appeared to lose the president’s trust when she recently told Congress he was aware of a controversial ad campaign touting the department’s efforts. Mullin will inherit…

MENASource March 23, 2026 • 5:06 pm ET Print this page By Nic Adams “Shock and awe” was the term of art when the United States invaded Iraq in 2003.

In many ways, the initial strikes on Iran resemble this dynamic—a world-class military with superior weapons and training engaging a…

Donald Trump’s presidency resists conventional categorisation. Analyses that treat him as a populist demagogue, an institutional stress test, or a media performer capture only fragments but miss the pattern. His fixation on monuments, his cultivation of personal movements, his invocation of divine election, and his architectural directives appear disconnected unless viewed through a different lens.
