Every American should be outraged at Trump-Hegseth’s punishment of Senator Kelly’s free and righteous speech, that Military should follow the law. But we should also be outraged because now Trump can punish any of us who oppose him by stripping pensions or Social Security. THIS MUST BE REVERSED.
NEW: "Mark Kelly did not urge service members to defy lawful authority.…He articulated a general legal truth—one that every commissioned officer has been taught, and one that even Sec. Hegseth has publicly acknowledged in the past."
