Our voices have power. It's time to tell Republicans: We won't let you sell Americans to the highest bidder.

Just got word that Secretary Noem is asking for an addition to her budget - a new private Gulfstream 5 jet for her personal national photo op tour. She's already got a private plane but wants a tricked out new one.
