Megyn Kelly: "I turned on Fox News yesterday, and I'm sorry but it was like watching Russian propaganda."

I’m running for Congress in NY-12, my home.

We have a demented, criminal president running the country like a mob operation—government by the boss, for the boss.

We need Democratic fighters who will defend the rule of law and deliver government by the people. Join us.

This is superb, from Sen. Kelly.
Please watch.

Insider note: First sentence of Kelly's presentation is uncannily powerful echo of my favorite TV ad ever. "Imported from Detroit," 15 yrs ago

Serendipity? Embedded memory by Kelly people? Perfect for both.

I got 1040 words in today in the final revision of The Road to Salvation. I really did just need to let it rest to tighten the writing.
Things are moving well. More writing tomorrow.

Hegseth knows a court martial would fail, so he’s cutting Kelly’s pension. For what? Reminding troops of their duty to not follow unlawful orders: www.cnbc.com/2026/01/05/p...
Pentagon to cut Sen. Mark Kelly's military retirement pay over 'seditious' video: Hegseth
Sen. Mark Kelly and other members of Congress on the video reminded members of the U.S. military that they can refuse to follow illegal orders.

NEW: Sen. Mark Kelly RESPONDS to Pete Hegseth for censuring him, cutting his military pension, threatening to demote his rank, and warning of possible criminal prosecution for telling soldiers to obey their oath.
Sen. Kelly statement: Over twenty-five years in the U.S. Navy, thirty-nine combat missions, and four missions to space, I risked my life for this country and to defend our Constitution – including the First Amendment rights of every American to speak out. I never expected that the President of the United States and the Secretary of Defense would attack me for doing exactly that. My rank and retirement are things that I earned through my service and sacrifice for this country. I got shot at. I missed holidays and birthdays. I commanded a space shuttle mission while my wife Gabby recovered from a gunshot wound to the head– all while proudly wearing the American flag on my shoulder. Generations of servicemembers have made these same patriotic sacrifices for this country, earning the respect, appreciation, and rank they deserve. Pete Hegseth wants to send the message to every single retired servicemember that if they say something he or Donald Trump doesn’t like, they will come after them the same way. It’s outrageous and it is wrong. There is nothing more un-American than that. If Pete Hegseth, the most unqualified Secretary of Defense in our country’s history, thinks he can intimidate me with a censure or threats to demote me or prosecute me, he still doesn’t get it. I will fight this with everything I’ve got — not for myself, but to send a message back that Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump don’t get to decide what Americans in this country get to say about their government.

A imagem é composta por dois quadros retirados de uma cena dramática. No primeiro, um homem de barba, trajando roupas formais futuristas, fala com firmeza para uma mulher de costas. A legenda diz: “They don’t even bother to lie badly anymore” (“Eles nem se dão mais ao trabalho de mentir mal”). No segundo quadro, a mulher — de expressão séria e contida, vestindo um traje claro e elegante — encara o interlocutor com amargura. A legenda completa: “I suppose that’s the final humiliation” (“Suponho que essa seja a humilhação final”). O ambiente é sofisticado, com arquitetura moderna e minimalista, sugerindo um contexto político tenso e opressivo.

@maddow.bsky.social: “There are very few Americans right now who have any idea why the United States did this. If this was about drug trafficking then why did President Trump just pardon the former President of Honduras who was convicted of sending hundreds of tons of drugs into the US?”

I don’t understand how the first reaction from leadership isn’t “This is an impeachable offense. My colleagues must defund Hegseth and begin drafting articles immediately.”

Like, even if it doesn’t get done, how are you not planting this flag in the ground immediately?
