It's All About Sending More Resources to the Top, Including to Kristi Noem

The US Government, through the Coast Guard, has purchased two luxury private jets for Kristi Noem, the Homeland Security Secretary, at a total cost of more than $170 million in taxpayer money. The federal government remains shut down, imperiling food aid and other assistance for tens of millions of Americans, and Trump is threatening to fire many more employees to "save money."

Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.), the top Democrat on the House Committee on Homeland Security, called the spending “wholly inappropriate,” “blatantly immoral,” and “probably illegal” in a statement issued Sunday.

“While the nation suffers under this corrupt and extreme administration, Secretary Noem is fleecing the American taxpayers to live in luxury,” said Thompson. “Not only does she now have multiple fancy jets to use, she lives rent-free on Coast Guard property.”

Republican Mike Johnson Will Say Anything to Keep Accountability Away from the Top

Speaker Mike Johnson defended President Donald Trump’s weekend social media post showing him dropping apparent human excrement on protesters in the "No Kings" March in comments to reporters today, calling it “satire.”

While all thinking people in the world know Trump's video to be disgusting and deplorable, we can count on Republicans to do whatever it takes to try to keep accountability away from the extreme top of their hierarchies, this time Trump himself.

New Crop of NASA Astronauts Has More Women than Men

For the first time in history, there were more women than men in an incoming NASA astronaut class.

10 scientists, engineers and test pilots chosen from more than 8,000 applicants to help further explore the moon and possibly go to Mars.  

The group consists of six women and four men. It is the 24th astronaut class for NASA since the original Mercury Seven made their debut in 1959.

Some People Will Go to Amazing Lengths to Intimidate Strong Women - Including Women in the WNBA

Intimidate women who are athletes. Throwing out sex toys is certainly a sick way to try to do that. In a patriarchy with men trying to keep women down, making women sex objects is a tried and true way. 

 

“The safety of everyone in our arenas remains a top priority," a WNBA spokesperson said in a statement. "We are working closely with local and federal law enforcement to pursue all appropriate actions — including arrest and prosecution with felony charges where applicable — against anyone engaged in this conduct or otherwise involved in sponsoring this reckless and unacceptable behavior.”

Hope all the kooks get the book thrown at them.
