It is wildly inappropriate for the Trump Admin to go after its political critics like this—let alone heroes like Sen. Kelly.
Kelly is a patriot who has always put our American democracy first and always supported our servicemembers and the rule of law.
Something neither Trump or Hegseth can say.

Pete Hegseth's views on women serving in combat—and apparently also on our right to vote—are beyond shameful and flat out wrong.
The tens of thousands of women he's commanding are actually qualified and earned their jobs, unlike him.
He's a disgrace to our brave servicemembers.

Trump and Republicans just gave $4 trillion in tax giveaways to the nation’s most wealthy—
Meanwhile millions could wind up paying $700 extra next year just to keep the same plan.

Why 22 million people may see a 'sharp' increase in health insurance premiums in 2026
The GOP's so-called "big beautiful bill" cut taxes in some ways but didn't extend a tax break that lowered health insurance premiums for millions of people.
