The Department of Homeland Security, led by Secretary Kristi Noem, has purchased two Gulfstream G700 luxury jets for top officials – a deal worth about $172 million that is now fueling questions over how the agency paid for them and why it needed two.

Noem gets luxury $172M jets she had asked for prompting questions over funding

It remains unclear where the funding for the jets came from

All this AND Triscuit and Hydrox got adopted together today! They are a bonded pair who came to Austin in the flooding aftermath.

Time for Dems to take over the House! Mike Johnson has shown incompetent leadership. All the GOP House members currently "out of office" should be impeached for Taxation Without Representation. No Kings Day would proe America is behind True democracy. GOP has can't pass their own bill!? Your Fired!

They use govt accounts, employees & resources to make partisan political messages.

They make partisan political speeches attacking the opposition party to troops routinely.

They get pardoned when they commit crimes.

They ignore the laws.

There is zero congressional oversight.

Democracy dies in silence.

…when people are too afraid or don’t care enough to speak up.

Not today.

MILLIONS of Americans and allies of freedom and democracy, here and around the world, are taking to the streets.

Showing their love of country and defiance of tyranny.

It’s a beautiful sight.

I thought this appropriate today.
No Kings ✌️👊

"Pity the Nation"(after Khalil Gibran) by Lawrence Ferlinghetti

Pity the nation whose people are sheep
And whose Sheppard mislead them
Pity the nation whose leaders are liars
Whose sages are silenced
And whose bigots haunt the airwaves
Pity the nation who raises not it voice
Except to praise conquerors
And acclaim the bully as hero
And aims to rule the world
By force and by torture
Pity the nation that knows
No other language but its own
And no other culture but its own
Pity the nation whose breath is money
And sleeps the sleep of the too well fed
Pity the nation Oh Pity the people
Who allow their rights to erode
And their freedoms to be washed away
My country, tears of thee
Sweet land of Liberty!

Breathtaking. This is why today will likely go down as the biggest day of peaceful protest in our nation’s 250 year history.

Millions of Americans may not get their SNAP payments because of the government shut down

Millions are in the streets for No Kings protesting the rise of fascism

What are the tyrants doing? Spending $172 million on private jets for Noem

Sending funds to Argentia

Shooting missiles into California
