Kristi Noem would like you, the taxpayer, to pony up $50 million so she can have a new jet

[Miles Archer]

The U.S. Coast Guard has asked for an additional $50 million in President Donald Trump's proposed budget to pay for a "new Gulfstream 5 jet for Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem," Rep. Lauren Underwood (D-IL) noted on X.

"My committee just received a last-minute addition to the Coast Guard’s spend plan: $50 million for a new Gulfstream 5 jet for DHS Secretary Kristi Noem’s personal use," Underwood wrote on X. "She already has a Gulfstream 5, by the way, but she wants a new one paid for with your taxpayer dollars."

The comments came amid a hearing in the House Committee on Appropriations subcommittee that handles homeland Security.

At the start of the hearing, she said that the Coast Guard must already do more with fewer resources. She told Admiral Kevin E. Lunday that she "strongly supports... large increases to your budget."
