Salud Ortiz Carbajal: “It is important to foster innovation while also protecting lives.”

You’re not worthy of my attention or my questions. You’re an embarrassment to this country, you’re unfit to lead, and there’s been bipartisan members of Congress that have called for your resignation.

You should just get the hell out and let somebody competently lead this department.

If Congress does not double the Coast Guard's budget in 2026, the Service will either have to abandon the program, cease construction of Offshore Patrol Cutters, or cut significant portions of its operations.

And let me be clear, these militarized ICE raids are not how you keep our communities safe.
