FOX NEWS: The officer involved in the Minneapolis shooting -- does the president stand fully behind him? Does he think his action were justified?

LEAVITT: Absolutely. President Trump was right about this all along. This deranged lunatic woman was trying to ram him over with her vehicle.

BREAKING: Senator Mark Kelly sues Pete Hegseth, DOD, and others over Hegseth's censure of Kelly and effort to reduce his retirement grade, alleging violations of the First Amendment, due process, Speech & Debate Clause, and federal laws.

Kelly is represented by Arnold & Porter.
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA MARK KELLY, United States Senator representing the State of Arizona, 120 Constitution Ave NE, Suite 516 Washington, D.C. 20002 Plaintiff, V. PETE HEGSETH, in his official capacity as Secretary of Defense, 1600 Defense Pentagon Washington, D.C. 20301 U.S. DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE, 1600 Defense Pentagon Washington, D.C. 20301 JOHN PHELAN, in his official capacity as Secretary of the Navy, 1000 Navy Pentagon Washington, D.C. 20350 U.S. DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY, 1000 Navy Pentagon Washington, D.C. 20350 Defendants. Case No._ COMPLAINT FOR DECLARATORY AND INJUNCTIVE RELIEF 9. If permitted to stand, the Secretary's censure and the grade-determination proceedings that he has directed will inflict immediate and irreparable harm. The censure, the grade-reduction process, and its inevitable outcome impose official punishment for protected speech, chill legislative oversight, and threaten reductions in rank and pay. Each of these actions also signals to retired service members and Members of Congress that criticism of the Executive's use of the armed forces may be met with retaliation through military channels. The Constitution does not leave such injuries to be remedied after the fact. Speech or Debate, First Amendment, separation-of-powers, and due-process protections must be vindicated at the outset, before the Senator is forced to submit to an unconstitutional and legally baseless proceeding. Senator Kelly therefore brings this complaint for declaratory and injunctive relief. Defendants' actions violate the First Amendment, the Speech or Debate Clause, the separation of powers, due process, 10 U.S.C. § 1370, and the Administrative Procedure Act. 11. In particular, Senator Kelly respectfully asks this Court to declare the censure letter, reopening determination, retirement grade determination proceedings, and related actions unlawful and unconstitutional; to vacate those actions; to enjoin their enforcement; and to preserve the status of a coequal Congress and an apolitical military. PRAYER FOR RELIEF For these reasons, Plaintiff respectfully requests an order: a) declaring Defendants' actions unlawful; b) enjoining the enforcement of Defendants' actions; c) vacating and setting aside Defendants' actions under 5 U.S.C. § 706; d) staying the effective date of Defendants' actions under 5 U.S.C. § 705; e) preliminarily and permanently enjoining Defendants, their agents, employees, appointees, successors, and anyone acting in concert or participation with Defendants from 45 Case 1:26-cv-00081 Document 1 Filed 01/12/26 Page 46 of 46 implementing, maintaining, or giving effect to Defendants' actions, including the Secretary of Defense's determinations and threats of further criminal or administrative action; f) awarding Plaintiff reasonable costs and attorney's fees in accordance with law, including but not limited to 28 U.S.C. § 2412; and g) issuing any and all other such relief as the Court deems just and proper.

Fox Business host Maria Bartiromo is among President Donald Trump’s most zealous propagandists. But even she seems hesitant to fall in line with the Trump administration’s apparent effort to strong-arm Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell. www.mediamatters.org/maria-bartir...

Donald Trump cannot fire Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell.

So he's using the DOJ to attack him and push him out of the Fed.

Trump's abuse of power is a dangerous threat to our economy, to Fed independence, and our democracy.

While you may be hearing a lot about what Donald Trump is doing in other countries, let’s focus on what he’s doing HERE at home: His CDC removed lifesaving vaccines from the recommended schedule for kids.

Donald Trump, JD Vance, and Kristi Noem are LYING to the American people about what we all saw happen on video in Minneapolis.

Renee Good wasn’t trying to run over an agent. Her last words were “I’m not mad at you.” Then she was shot and killed.

Alternet: Donald Trump rolled out a lie-filled website telling the history of the January 6 insurrection. When a corrupt gov't wants to break down trust in a society to seize it politically & loot it economically, it inevitably tells lies about the past.

The USA is falling apart crippled by mass protests as they are sick of Donald Trump and his murderous ICE.

I'm informing Europe because on our US owned billionaire Media we haven't heard a word about it.

Trump isn’t used to dealing with men of integrity because he surrounds himself with weak mealy mouthed sycophants who’ll wash his orange balls if he asks.

If calling a state secret police agent a murderer for committing murder will lead to more murder by the state secret police, it sure seems like the problem is with the secret police

Homan: "We gotta stop the hateful rhetoric. Saying this officer is a murderer is dangerous. It's just ridiculous. It's gonna infuriate people more which means there's gonna be more incidents like this."
