$50M Jet?! Ruben Gallego SLAMS Kristi Noem While Millions Lose Healthcare - Liberal Lens [View all]
Sen. Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) just confronted Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem in a brutal hearing that exposed the Trump administration’s outrageous spending priorities. While millions of working-class Americans face losing Medicaid, Noem’s department requested $50 million of taxpayer money—for a luxury Gulfstream jet.
In this powerful moment, Gallego demanded accountability. How can DHS justify a private jet while already overspending to fund mass deportations? Why are essential investigations into organized crime being sidelined while officials gear up for elite travel?
Meanwhile, Republicans are preparing to kick 13 million people off Medicaid to fund more tax breaks for the rich.
In this video, we break down the hearing, the hidden hypocrisy, and what it means for you. This isn't just about one jet—it's about a government that's putting executive perks over human needs.
📌 Learn what the media won’t tell you.
📌 Understand how your tax dollars are really being used.
📌 Watch Gallego dismantle the spin—on behalf of all of us.
