Trump and Hegseth just announced that they are investigating Senator Kelly because of his reminder to servicemembers about fulfilling their constitutional duties. This is despicable.
Thank you for your service, patriotism, and courage, Senator Kelly. We stand with you.

Senator Mark Kelly is a fellow Navy veteran and a friend. He has dedicated his entire life to serving our country. These allegations from Hegseth are total BS and it is no coincidence that they come right after Trump encouraged political violence against elected Members of Congress. (1/2)

I joined my colleagues outside of the federal building where ICE detainees are reportedly being held to conduct oversight. It’s our duty and our right.

So Trump calls for six serving members of Congress to be hung. The Sec Def calls for a serving Senator to be recalled to active duty to be Courtmartialed. All for saying military personnel can refuse ILLEGAL ORDERS. Absurd. Separation of powers. Statement inherent in the UCMJ.

The EPA is planning to weaken current regulations on HFCs — a common refrigerant and the fastest growing source of GHG emissions in world — and allow use for a longer period of time.
We’re opposing.
At a time when the world is facing record heat & wildfires, going backwards is not an option.

All kids – no matter their zip code, race, disability, or any other factor – deserve excellent education. 50 years ago, Congress passed IDEA to make that happen.
I'm going to keep fighting to make sure Congress delivers on this promise and stop the Trump admin from stealing it from our children.
