President Trump sounds like he got to say his two favorite words ... "You're fired!" ... and the person on the receiving end this time is Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem.

Trump is firing Noem and replacing her with Oklahoma GOP Senator Markwayne Mullin ... according to a Trump post on his social media platform Truth Social.

BTW ... if you wanna know what kinda swagger Mullin's bringing to DHS, he's the same guy who challenged Teamsters Prez Sean O'Brien to a fist fight.

Yeah, this really happened a couple of years ago right in the middle of O'Brien's testimony on Capitol Hill.

Before moving on from Noem, POTUS had been asking aides and Republicans in Congress for a list of potential replacements for Noem, according to the WSJ ... and it sounds like the deciding factor here was Noem's fiery hearing Tuesday before the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Bianca Censori may be fine baring her body on the streets of Los Angeles ... but, she also respects the authority of the criminal justice system -- covering up for Kanye West's court date.

The wife of Ye pulled up to a Downtown Los Angeles courthouse Thursday in a tight black dress and tall high heels.

While the dress hugged her curves as she climbed the stairs to the Stanley Mosk Courthouse, Bianca's obviously wearing a lot more clothing here that usual ... after all, she's covering up all her private areas -- which is a far cry from a normal Censori ensemble.

Cruz and Brooklyn Beckham may not be talking ... but Cruz still wants the best for his big bro on his birthday ... and he's hopeful for reconciliation.

Cruz tosses a quick "Happy Birthday" Brooklyn's way ... but, he keeps mum on whether the two have spoken in recent months.

As for whether there will be a reconciliation -- Cruz responds, "I hope so" -- and leaves it at that.
