#Repost///@necisque_libertas1: 🤡☢️The Department of Energy has fired a top nuclear waste official who happens to be non-binary and has been accused in a string of luggage thefts, according to reports. “Sam Brinton is no longer a DOE employee. By law, the Department of Energy cannot comment further on personnel matters,” a spokesperson for the DOE told the Daily Beast on Monday. The 35-year-old Biden administration deputy assistant secretary for spent fuel and waste disposition at the DOE’s Office of Nuclear Energy was reportedly canned after being charged with stealing a woman’s suitcase from a Minneapolis airport in September and another woman’s bag from a Las Vegas airport in July. Brinton, who was appointed to his former position in June, was caught on surveillance cameras making off with a $320 bag from Las Vegas’s Harry Reid International Airport’s baggage claim area that contained more than $3,500 worth of jewelry, clothing, and makeup, according to police. Brinton, who uses they/them pronouns, and does not identify exclusively as either male or female, was described by a detective as “a white male adult wearing a white T-shirt with a large rainbow-colored atomic nuclear symbol design,” in the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department’s arrest warrant.
