DHS Secretary Kristi Noem signed off on $200 million in luxury Gulfstream jets for her travel during a shutdown that has Coast Guard members working without paychecks. She personally approves all contracts over $100k. The Coast Guard will keep working. Noem will fly in a G700. #ratcclips
Coast Guard Gets Luxury Jets While Troops Work Without Pay
Noem signs $200 million contract for private aircraft during shutdown The government may have run out of money for paychecks but somehow found $200 million for private jets. While Coast Guard crews are working without pay through the third week of the shutdown, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem just approved a sole-source contract for two Gulfstream G700s - luxury aircraft normally reserved for billionaires and Bond villains. Her signature is on it. No competitive bids, no emergency justification. Just a “need” for nicer wings. Democrats in the House sent her a letter reminding her that she personally approves every DHS contract over $100,000.

Usually, Congress ends these messes with a temporary fix. This time, even that looks far away. Every day it drags on, more families sink and the economy takes another hit. Nearly a million people now have full-time jobs with zero paychecks.

Trump pardoned a Capitol rioter. That rioter just got arrested for threatening to kill Hakeem Jeffries. Pardons weren't mercy, they were permission. #ratcclips https://smpl.is/ado89

Millions marched. Critics say it changes nothing. They're half right. Protests don't flip votes overnight, they build the networks that pressure power later. That's why showing up matters. #ratcclips
Protests Don’t Win Overnight, They Build the System That Does
No Kings rallies are recruiting grounds, not final battles I’ve seen a lot of people say that the No Kings Protest really didn’t move the needle, and they don’t see what the point is. And they’re right to say marches alone rarely change policy. I’ll say it plainly: rallies do not reopen a shuttered government. They do not flip a single vote in Congress overnight. They are not a shortcut to ending authoritarian moves. But that is exactly why they matter. Protests are the recruiting ground, not the final battle. They convert passive resentment into active participation.

That invisibility is the point. The only adults left in Congress are working in silence - while everyone else performs chaos.

WTF, Sen. Booker?
@rachelandthecity.bsky.social on facebook:
So Trump just made Charles Kushner - father of his son-in-law Jared - the US Ambassador to France. The Senate confirmed him on May 19 with a 51-45 vote. Only one Democrat supported him - a very weird heel turn by Cory Booker.
