Secretary of Homeland Security Kirsti Noem responded to South Park mocking her on its latest episode.
"It's so lazy to just constantly make fun of women for how they look. It's only the liberals and the extremists who do that," she told The Glenn Beck Program podcast.
"If they wanted to criticize my job, go ahead and do that, but clearly they can't," she added. "They just pick something petty like that."
In Wednesday night's episode, called "Got a Nut," Noem's Botox ran out and made fun of her for shooting her own dog.
Her character runs an orientation session for new ICE recruits and tells them: "A few years ago, I had to put my puppy down by shooting it in the face, because sometimes doing what's important means doing what's hard." She is then shown shooting several dogs.
President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance were also portrayed in the show, with Vance responding in a post on X saying: "Well, I've finally made it."
It comes after a spat between South Park and the White House over whether the show is "relevant."

Michael; Michael Ochs Archives / Stringer What To Know Spencer died on August 11 at Chippenham Hospital in Richmond. Prior to her death, the sitcom star had a history of health issues. In 1977, Spencer was involved in a car accident that killed her stepfather and manager, Tim Pelt, her website bio states. She was in a coma for three weeks and had broken bones in her arm, leg and pelvis. Decades later, the injuries she endured left her wheelchair-bound, and she underwent physical therapy to learn how to walk again. In 2014, she was diagnosed with breast cancer, and in 2018, she had emergency surgery to relieve bleeding in the brain. Spencer was inducted into the Smithsonian's National Museum of African American History and Culture, marking the first time a child star received the honor.

After many years, my big sister, Dr. Danielle Louise Spencer lost her battle with cancer." "Many of you knew her as 'Dee,' but she was more than a child actress. She was a friend, an auntie to my three children who adored her, she was a daughter- and in many ways, my mother's best friend, she was a veterinarian, she was someone who always remained positive even during her darkest days fighting this disease. And she was MY sister and protector." "My immediate family, of which there were only three of us had an unusual knack for always being connected even if we weren't always in contact with each other. Dani and I- our bond got stronger the older I (in particular) got. She's 11 years older than me. I used to relish our texts back and forth using unfiltered 'real' talk." "She positively LOVED Milo, Charlie and Amma and constantly dreamed of a time they'd all be visiting her and 'Mimi' (grandmother). The times they made it down south, she was always so encouraging. Always so uplifting. I'm rambling...I'm so fucking fucking gutted... I watched her take her last breath... I'm thankful for that." "I love you, forever." Haywood Nelson, Spencer's What's Happening!! co-star, wrote on Instagram: "Brilliance! It comes in a great many forms. We all have them and we all have this family's - Dr. Danielle Spencer (June 24, 1965 - August 11, 2025)." "Dr. Dee, our brilliant, loving, positive, pragmatic warrior, without fail, has finally found her release from the clutches of this world and a body. We celebrate Danielle Spencer and her contributions as we regret to inform her departure and transition from a long battle with cancer." "We have lost a daughter, sister, family member, What's Happening cast member, veterinarian animal rights proponent and healer, and cancer heroine. Our Shero. Danielle is loved. She will be missed in this form and forever embraced." What Happens Next Spencer is survived by her brother, Jeremy Pelt, and mother, Cheryl Pelt. At the time of writing, no public memorial or funeral plans have been announced.

US Ally Shadows Russian and Chinese Spy Ships Near Coast
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Japan—a key United States security ally—tracked Russian and Chinese spy ships sailing near its coastline, as Moscow and Beijing flexed their naval power through joint maneuvers. Newsweek has contacted the Russian and Chinese foreign ministries for comment via email. Why It Matters Japan is part of a north-south island chain—along with Taiwan and the Philippines—in the Western Pacific, under a U.S. containment strategy that aims to restrict the military activities of Washington's adversaries, namely Russia and its quasi-ally China, in the event of war. Chinese and Russian warships take part in a joint naval exercise in the East China Sea on December 27, 2022. Chinese and Russian warships take part in a joint naval exercise in the East China Sea on December 27, 2022. Xu Wei/Xinhua via AP Under their strategic partnership "without limitations," Russia and China have deepened military ties to challenge America's dominance in the Indo-Pacific. Earlier this month, the navies of both countries conducted a war game and a joint patrol in the Russian Far East. What To Know On Tuesday, the Joint Staff of Japan's Defense Ministry reported Russian and Chinese naval activities near the country. A Russian intelligence-gathering ship transited the Tsugaru Strait eastward between Saturday and Sunday. It was identified by its hull number as the Kurily. The narrow waterway in northern Japan lies between two of the country's main islands—Honshu in the south and Hokkaido in the north—connecting the Sea of Japan, also referred to as the East Sea in South Korea, in the west with the wider Pacific Ocean in the east. Another foreign intelligence-gathering ship, operated by China, passed through the Osumi Strait off the southern coast of Kyushu—Japan's southernmost main island—on Monday. It was spotted entering the East China Sea in the west from the Philippine Sea in the east. The Chinese ship was identified by its hull number as CNS Yuhengxing. According to maps provided by Tokyo, neither spy ship entered Japan's territorial waters. While territorial waters generally extend up to 13.8 miles from the coastline, Japan claims less than that in the Osumi and Tsugaru Straits to maintain high seas corridors. In both incidents, the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force deployed ships and aircraft to monitor the Russian and Chinese vessels and gather intelligence, according to reports. On August 8, two Chinese vessels and a Russian warship transited the Soya Strait—also known as the La Pérouse Strait—north of Hokkaido on an eastbound voyage, traveling from the Sea of Japan into the Sea of Okhotsk during their joint patrol following an exercise. What People Are Saying Japan's defense white paper 2025 commented: "The Russian military is continuing active military activities in the vicinity of Japan and its surrounding areas, showing its tendency to deploy the latest military equipment in the Far East. Russia's military activities in the Indo-Pacific region, including Japan, coupled with its strategic partnership with China, are posing a strong security concern." Senior Colonel Jiang Bin, a spokesperson for China's Defense Ministry, said at a press conference on August 8: "China and Russia adhere to the principles of non-alliance, non-confrontation, and not targeting any third party in developing bilateral and military relations, and jointly play an important role in safeguarding international and regional peace and stability." What Happens Next It remains to be seen whether the Russian and Chinese naval vessels participating in the joint patrol will sail near Japan's coastline again in the coming days. As reported on Tuesday, they were docked near the Bering Sea, which borders Alaska and the Aleutian Islands.

Donald Trump's Approval Rating Dropping With Republicans
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. President Donald Trump's approval rating among Republican-leaning Americans has declined over the past several months. A January 26–28, 2025, poll from YouGov and The Economist found that 92 percent of GOP supporters and Independents who lean Republican approved of Trump, while 5 percent disapproved, giving him a net approval of +87. By mid-May, approval among the same group had fallen to 88 percent, with 9 percent disapproving, a net approval of +79. But in the latest poll this week, 83 percent of Republican-leaning Americans approved of Trump, while 13 percent disapproved, resulting in a net approval of +70. The poll was taken among 1,577 adults from across the nation. Why It Matters The downward trend, though gradual, suggests that even within his strong base, Trump is facing modest erosion in support, signaling potential vulnerability within his core base. What To Know Trump's approval rating among Republican-leaning Americans, while still strong, has fallen on issues such as the economy and personal trust. Inflation rose to 2.7 percent in June, and job growth slowed sharply in July, with just 73,000 new jobs added—down from 147,000 the previous month, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. The unemployment rate edged up to 4.2 percent, though it remains near historic lows. President Donald Trump sin the James Brady Press Briefing Room at the White House on August 11, 2025, in Washington D.C. President Donald Trump sin the James Brady Press Briefing Room at the White House on August 11, 2025, in Washington D.C. Alex Brandon/AP That is despite Trump's previous promise to end inflation on day one of his second term. "Starting on day one, we will end inflation and make America affordable again, to bring down the prices of all goods," he said during a rally in Bozeman, Montana, in August 2024. There are also concerns about Trump's tariff program. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick predicted $50 billion in monthly revenue from the new import taxes, which came into effect this month. But JPMorgan warned that 60 percent of the increased costs are expected to be passed on to American consumers through higher prices. Amid those concerns, approval of his handling of the economy among Republicans has declined from 90 percent approval in January to 79 percent in August, with disapproval jumping from 2 percent to 14 percent. Inflation, often cited as a central concern for voters, shows an even sharper drop, with approval falling from 84 percent to 72 percent and disapproval rising from 4 percent to 22 percent. These trends suggest that economic anxieties are beginning to chip away at the enthusiasm of his core supporters, even as overall approval remains high. However, perceptions of the economy's trajectory show a more nuanced picture. Early in the year, only 35 percent of Republicans said the economy was getting better, with 40 percent saying it was the same and 16 percent saying worse. By May, optimism surged, with 56 percent reporting improvement, but by August that confidence had softened to 47 percent, while those seeing the economy as unchanged rose to 36 percent and those viewing it as worse remained at 13 percent. Personal financial trends tell a similar story. In January, just 15 percent of Republicans said their finances had improved over the past year, 45 percent said they were the same, and 35 percent said they had worsened. By May, those seeing improvement rose to 23 percent, with 55 percent unchanged and 19 percent worse, and by August, 27 percent reported better finances, 49 percent the same, but the share of Republicans who reported worse finances rose to 22 percent. It comes as Trump's overall approval rating has dropped nationwide in recent weeks, with Newsweek's tracker currently putting his net approval rating at -8 points, down from -5 last week. Trust and Direction Among Republicans Show Decline At the same time, the share of Americans who view Trump as honest and trustworthy (31 percent) is at a new low since the start of his second term in January, according to the YouGov/Economist poll. And that trend is also present among Republicans. In January, 77 percent of Republicans said the president was trustworthy. By August, that had dropped to 71 percent, while those finding him untrustworthy doubled from 7 percent to 14 percent. Republicans' outlook on the direction of the country has also become less positive over the summer, with 68 percent saying things are going in the right direction in August compared with 74 percent in May, while those saying things are going in the wrong direction rose by 5 points to 22 percent. But there is still some positive news for the president. In contrast to his record on the economy, Trump's approval on immigration, which has consistently been one of the biggest areas of support among Republicans, has remained relatively strong and more stable. In May, 90 percent of Republican respondents approved of his policies on immigration, with 8 percent disapproving, and by August, approval had only slightly decreased to 86 percent and 10 percent, respectively. However, new Gallup polling shows the tide could be turning for the president. About two-thirds of Republicans now say immigrants are "a good thing" for the country, up from 39 percent last year. What Happens Next Trump's approval rating will continue to fluctuate throughout his term in office as he implements his policy agenda. Whether it falls enough to impact the Republican Party in the November 2026 midterms remains to be seen.
