DSAs jihad against centrist Democrats puts American lives at risk

Personnel is policy — which is why the latest coup attempt from the Democratic Socialists of America could put millions of lives in danger.The DSA is launching a public pressure campaign that’s meant to throw a scare into Senate Democrats, The Post reported this week.Its target: Jennifer Homendy, the registered Democrat chair of the National Transportation Safety Board, whose term ends in August 2027.Per an October meeting of the party’s election commissars, Homendy’s crimes are many.She “never blamed Trump” for the tragic Washington, DC, midair collision of a jet and military helicopter near Reagan National Airport in January 2025.She (gasp!) stood next to Republican incumbent Sen.Dan Sullivan at an aviation safety summit in Alaska.Worst of all, they charged, she’s maintained generally friendly relations across the political aisle.Never mind that Homendy is the only Dem agency head in the Trump administration, so bipartisanship is a must.Against the wall, Comrade Homendy — by order of the General Secretary!The NTSB is a pure bipartisan technocracy.It investigates civil aviation disasters, some highway crashes, maritime sinkings and the like, finds their causes and recommends measures to prevent them from happening again.It also studies drug and alcohol abuse among pilots, truckers and other workers in sensitive transport industries — and holds giant corporations like Boeing accountable when their transport products fail, as in the 2024 door blowout of Alaska Airlines Flight 1282, a colossal near-tragedy.Politicizing this agency means endangering everyone who travels America’s skies, roads and waterways.And putsching competent members who fail to meet a purity test is the worst sort of politicization.Especially when the purity tests are as ideological and vapid as the ones the modern DSA applies, which have much more to do with woke hygiene than any policy substance.
