Trumpâs Election Conspiracies Now Official DHS Policy: Meet Heather Honey
Hold onto your ballots, America! Heather Honey, a Pennsylvania private eye turned full-time 2020 election denier and protĂ©gĂ© of Cleta Mitchellâthe Indiana Jones of trying to overturn electionsâwas just appointed deputy assistant secretary of election integrity at DHS in August 2025. Known for spreading 'well-documented' debunked lies and hyping conspiracies that got Trump supporters storming the Capitol, Honeyâs new gig involves protecting IT infrastructure and voting database secrets, a role previously dignified by bipartisan cyber warriors before DHS was gutted post-Trump's first term. Oh, and she might help enforce an alleged Trump executive order to ban mail-in ballotsâplus threaten 28 million in terror grants if states donât comply. Meanwhile, all DHS reps and the White House ghosted ProPublica's questions. Democracy, hydrated and recombobulated!

Heather Honey just got hired to stop election hacksâexcept her main hack is hacking democracy with conspiracy theories filed under 'B' for baffling. Who writes this election integrity script, Kafka or The Onion?
Nothing screams 'election security' like hiring the lead conspirator who made âStop The Stealâ a movement and a mess. DHS must be outsourcing sanity checks to genre-bending sci-fi.
When your top election security officialâs rĂ©sumĂ© screams 'private eye' and 'conspiracy theorist,' you know democracy is getting TLC: Totally Loony Care.
