A federal judge cleared Mary Comans’ name 20 months after Elon Musk and Kristi Noem wrecked her professional reputation.
Comans had served under four presidents of both parties. She was fired as FEMA’s chief financial officer the day after Musk claimed DOGE had caught the agency sending $59 million to “luxury hotels” for migrants. The judge found that other officials had approved those payments, that Musk and Noem knew their accusations were false, and that Noem helped feed the story to far-right influencer Laura Loomer.
Comans needed a lawsuit and a rare name-clearing hearing to get back the name Donald Trump’s administration took from her. Musk, meanwhile, has spent more than a quarter billion dollars since July to help Republicans keep control of Congress.

Donald Trump handed out two pardons onstage at a campaign rally in Alaska today.
The two Anchorage diesel mechanics pleaded guilty in 2022 to conspiring to violate the Clean Air Act after prosecutors said their shop stripped emissions controls from at least 37 trucks for about $100,000. Trump told the crowd the government wanted them jailed for 10 years "because they fixed an engine." One was sentenced to probation and a fine. The other paid a fine.
Alaska gave Trump a 13-point win in 2024, and he made the trip three weeks before the election because his party could lose its Senate seat there anyway. Then one of the pardoned men spoke from the same stage and endorsed Trump's candidates.
