Reuters: DHS purchase of business jets during shutdown draws Democrats’ ire

Democrats in Congress on Saturday criticized the Trump administration’s decision to buy two Gulfstream G700 jets for $172 million during the ongoing government shutdown that are to be used by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and other senior leaders.

The U.S. Coast Guard entered into a sole-source contract on Friday, according to a government contracting website. The jets will be used for the Coast Guard’s Long Range Command Control fleet of aircraft.

DHS said in a statement late Friday that the new jets are needed because it currently relies on a Gulfstream CG-101 G550 jet that is over 20 years old, outside of the aircraft’s service life “and well beyond operational usage hours for a corporate aircraft.”

The department said it would not allow the federal shutdown “to slow down this process” of replacing the jet, but Democrats want to know where the money is coming from.

The Hill: House Democrats demand answers from [Bimbo #2] Noem on plans for $50M jet

Democrats are demanding answers about a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) plan to purchase a new $50 million jet for Secretary Kristi [Bimbo #2] Noem.

The jet, slotted in as a line item to the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) budget, comes as the department argues its current plane is beyond its operational usage hours.

“Reports indicate this jet would cost $50 million and replace one of the two Gulfstream jets already at your disposal. Funding the acquisition of this new jet would come at the cost of other USCG investments, including sorely needed modernization of the USCG’s aging aircraft fleet used by service members for search and rescue and other critical missions,” Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.) wrote in a letter to [Bimbo #2] Noem alongside Rep. LaMonica McIver (D-N.J.).

Both Democrats sit on the House Homeland Security panel. Thompson is the panel’s ranking member.

“Simply put, your purchase of a new jet would directly diminish the availability of other USCG aircraft to carry out critical missions,” the two wrote.

Do you honestly think that Bimbo #2 / Rollex Girl cares about anything other than herself?

Daily Beast: Now ICE Barbie [Bimbo #2] Wants Her Own Brand New $50M Private Jet

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem [Bimbo #2] appears to have taken her cue from President Donald Trump with a new request for her own private jet.

The U.S. Coast Guard made a last-minute change to its 2025 budget to secure a $50 million new plane for Noem, Illinois Rep. Lauren Underwood revealed in a Wednesday hearing of the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Homeland Security.

“I was horrified last Friday when we received a last-minute addition to your spend plan for Fiscal [Year] ‘25: A new $50 million Gulfstream 5 for Secretary Noem’s [Bimbo #2’s] personal travel coming from the Coast Guard budget,” Underwood told acting Coast Guard Chief Admiral Kevin Lunday. “She already has a Gulfstream 5, by the way. This is a new one.”

One Gulfstream 5 isn’t enough for this leech, who already has a U.S. government Gulfstream 5 at her disposal. This spoiled brat needs a new one to go along with her $60K Rolex, presumably so she can travel in style the next time flies home to South Dakota to murder another family goat.
