Genuine question: has any GOP member of house or senate spoken out about the Dept of defense and Hegseth threatening sen Mark Kelly with lawfare? Beyond disturbing Especially any veterans? Shame on all those who stay silent

All vets need to get together in groups of 4-6 and recreate the Kelly (et al) video. Include comments indicating the intent of the video is opposite the charges leveled against Kelly without referencing the charges. Perhaps mention the video is to reaffirm Kelly's (et al) intent to do likewise.

I agree. Why haven't members of Congress who are former members of the armed forces, on both sides of the isle, stood up and said, "enough is enough!" They were taught to have each other's backs when under attack. Trump and Hegseth are attacking fellow servicemen and servicewomen. STAND UP NOW!!

Join with fellow vets you know and recreate the Kelly video. If a hundred groups of 4-6 vets all create their own version of the Kelly video it'll have a huge impact. Explicitly state you're doing it for exactly opposite the reasons charged against Kelly and in support of those being his intent.

I agree Adam! Veterans all of you stand up for Sen Mark Kelly! All you spineless amoeba republicans stand up for Mark Kelly! And that goes for Democrats TOO! Enough is enough! Fight back back! Don’t let this corrupt administration investigate a well decorated veteran and astronaut!! Despicable

I keep emailing Rep John Moolenaar. MAGA answers. He never does the right thing to support Democracy. He goes along with every criminal thing trump does. I keep asking him how it feels to have given Congress' power to the felon.

I'm wondering how many Republicans will have a come to Jesus moment as we get closer to Nov 26. I'm hearing rumors MGT isn't the only one. The conspiracy in me is coming out..Jeffries becomes speaker. GOP blames Dems for everything. GOP wins house in 2026

Wrote my R Senator a note within an hour or two of seeing Trump's outbursts. First praised the Senator for his very civil bipartisan NPR interview with Kelly earlier in the day, then implored him to push back on Trump's dangerous rhetoric. Not a peep.

When this dogsh*t timeline is finally over, those not taken away in handcuffs for Crimes Against Humanity will resign in disgrace. Until then, they'll steal as much money, power and personal data as possible.

Yeah. Watch it go to court martial. A US civilian being activated specifically for a military trial? I'll bet Kelly hands Hegseth his *** on a platter 1. First amendment. 2. Kelly can quote military code saying exactly what Kelly said. 3. The whole US military will be watching. Hegseth may be gone

The most effective counter is for so many vets to speak up the Unamerican traitors in this regime can't deal with the numbers. Authoritarians build up thru isolating and crushing opposition. They can't deal with a very large unified patriotic opposition garnering public support.

My career Air Force, family values Republican Dad would have have been horrified by this. Dad was a WW2 fighter pilot and test pilot and was sad that he was too old to be an astronaut. He considered himself very old style conservative. I am glad he didn’t live to see this.

Thank you Adam— Following illegal orders is a fascist Nazi practice which should have ended at Nuremberg. Demanding blind obedience is a fascist trait now being demanded by the echosphere of fascism. That is the importance of this story.

THESE COWARDS REPUBLICANS MAKE ME VOMITE, THEY ARE LOWER THAN PHLEGM. hogseth THE WHITE SUPREMACIST, THE REVEALER OF AMERICA SECRETS , DRUNK, INCOMPETENT,THAT THE GUARDMAN FLAGGED hog AS A "INSIDER THREAT" THREATENING SEN. MARK KELLY WITH LAWFARE? WHAT MR. KELLY SAID, IS THE RULE OF MILITARY LAW..

Veterans not in Congress have. Those in Congress are probably afraid of being "reviewed" by monumentally incompetent Hegseth. This shitbird talks about bringing discredit upon the military? Just don't be a civilian in a small boat in the Caribbean. Hegseth will blast you to smithereens with F-18s.

1/Lots o' luck with your fucking "review." you dull-witted monumentally incompetent dolt. Representative Kelly did not encourage our warriors to ignore the orders of their commanders. What he(and the others) did was advise military personnel that they are not required to obey an unlawful order.

I am a Veteran and on Kelly’s side. Unsaid was that kill orders on civilian boats in the Caribbean are illegal orders. Get your pardons before you leave the military. The Hague may have something to say about blowing up boats in international waters.

They get to say this shit for clicks and news bites but would never have the balls to go through with this threat. Do it! I dare them! GOP wouldn't be allowed to control anything for a generation.

Adam, the GOP is long gone. I'm not even sure it's a political party. It's slogans aren't even politic. It's policies are vastly unpopular. The myths that the GOP is the party of law and order and the better party for the economy have been stunningly untrue for decades. They're there for the money.

I just 10 minutes ago nagged my congressperson (who sits on the Armed Services committee) about this. Do military veterans not have the same First Amendment rights as everyone else?

They're scared of Stump. It's understandable. He will sue you, sic the DOJ or FBI on you, he will use any powers he can muster to make your life hell. Got a spare million or so laying around? You're going to need it when you go to court. I'm not making excuses for anyone. That's just how it is.

I worry Hegseth will try to intimidate JAG into starting a case against Capt Kelly. Not worried they'd dishonor their oath, but that his action will tank morale,unduly stress military lawyers, and permanently damage faith in our core values.
