So that was essentially a proof of life video, wasn’t it? Only I am not sure it convinced anyone.

JUST IN: Sen. Mark Kelly releases statement after SUING Pete Hegseth and the Dept. of Defense
Sen. Kelly: Pete Hegseth is coming after what I earned through my twenty-five years of military service, in violation of my rights as an American, as a retired veteran, and as a United States Senator whose job is to hold him—and this or any administration—accountable. His unconstitutional crusade against me sends a chilling message to every retired member of the military: if you speak out and say something that the President or Secretary of Defense doesn’t like, you will be censured, threatened with demotion, or even prosecuted.

Every servicemember knows military rank is earned, not given. It's earned through the risks you take, the sacrifices you and your family make, the leadership you display, and the respect you earn from the superiors who recommend you for promotion. From the moment I drove through the gates of Naval Air Station Pensacola, to when I was shot at over Iraq and Kuwait, to when I landed Space Shuttle Endeavour on its last mission, I gave everything I had to this country and I earned my rank of Captain, United States Navy.

Now, Pete Hegseth wants our longest-serving military veterans to live with the constant threat that they could be deprived of their rank and pay years or even decades after they leave the military just because he or another Secretary of Defense doesn’t like what they’ve said. That’s not the way things work in the United States of America, and I won’t stand for it.

In 1986, at just 22 years old, I took an oath to protect and defend the Constitution. I have fulfilled that oath every day since, but I never expected that I would have to defend it against a Secretary of Defense or President. But I’ve never shied away from a fight for our country, and I won’t shy away from this one. Because our freedom of speech, the separation of powers, and due process are not just words on a page, they are bedrock principles of our democracy that has lasted 250 years and will last 250 more as long as patriotic Americans are willing to stand up for…

Yup. The genius of the uber wealthy is that they’ve manage to convince the middle class that the people who make 15 dollars per hour are the problem.

For 50 years, the median wage of hourly workers stagnated or declined while the stock market and CEO pay skyrocketed. Is it any wonder why so many feel abandoned by the system? People lose faith, and a demagogue fills the void. This is why we must fix the system.

Has anyone noticed Trump no longer aggressively pulls a handshake towards himself? What was once a predictable sign of dominance is no more. Perhaps his jerking smears the make up concealer on the top of his hand too much…

Since 1975, $79 trillion in wealth has been redistributed from the bottom 90% to the top 1% — a 1% that now owns more wealth than the bottom 93%. We can respect innovation & entrepreneurship, but we cannot respect the extraordinary greed that now exists. We need a wealth tax.

So in spring, Pam Bondi said there was nothing to the Epstein investigation, then “closed” it. Now, they “find” 1 million more docs. So did she close this without seeing these docs? Or was someone hiding them?

So true. I spent 10 years as a departmental chair and never saw coordinated agreement among my school’s faculty on any matter. In fact, every college-wide meeting inevitably devolved into a zero game Lord of the Flies factional fight for funding. One of the reasons I moved on after a decade.

I've had a missile blow up next to my airplane, been shot at dozens of times by anti-aircraft fire, and launched into orbit — all for my country. I never thought I'd see a President call for my execution. Trump doesn’t understand the Constitution, and we're all less safe for it.

I was an undergrad in art school during the early ‘80s and apparently sexual predation by some members of the faculty was rampant, though I was ignorant of it myself. I only heard about it some 30 years afterwards from an investigation launched in the 2000-teens.

Important to remember: If the worst of the Epstein stuff had already been released, there would be no reason for Trump to keep fighting it. If he’s trying to stop it, there’s a reason why.

For the first time all year, Democrats were riding high and the regime was on the ropes. If Senate leadership’s goal was to demobilize and depress rank-and-file Democrats, they could not have played their cards better. This is why we’ve launched the largest primary program that we’ve ever run.
