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

Pete Hegseth take notes. This is what a real Patriot looks like.
I swore an oath to the Constitution in 1986. I've upheld it through 25 years of service and every day since I retired.
If Trump's trying to intimidate me, it won’t work. I’ve given too much to our country to be silenced by bullies who care more about power than the Constitution.

Dear MAGA,
If you didn't want us to torch the mean asshole who made President Biden's age / physical condition an issue -- despite the fact he's only 2 years younger and in WORSE shape -- you shouldn't have thrown rocks in that glass house.
Turnabout is fair play.
Buckle up.

Jeffries: I think Rick Scott has some history with medicaid fraud in the state of Florida. So he's no expert on health care. We ain't going to be lectured by Rick Scott about anything, but certainly not affordable health care.
