Sen. Mark Kelly fires back after Hegseth threatens his rank and retirement pay
Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has launched administrative action against Democratic Sen. Mark Kelly, a retired Navy captain and astronaut, which could affect Kelly's rank and retirement pay.
"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," Kelly added.

Donald Trump caused and led the insurrection at the Capitol on this date five years ago.
He's still a fucking domestic and international terrorist, here on January 6th.
Anyone interested in doing anything about it, yet?

Sen. Mark Kelly is set to get his military pension docked as punishment for participating in a video with five other congressional Democrats where he reminds those in military service: βOur laws are clear: you can refuse illegal orders.β
Mark Kelly: βHow many generations of Donald Trumpβs family served in the military - Zero - for me, service to my country is in my bloodβ
Donald Trump - he deferred the draft five times because he had bone spurs. Four generations of service earns me the right to speak. Five deferments earns nothingβ

You can't make me afraid. Immigrants. They commit crimes 10x less than citizens. I don't fear them.
Drugs? Oh please, you want to tell me it's ok to buy 10 gallons of vodka but not a joint? I don't fear them.
The only thing I truly fear in 2026 are the Evangelical Christians and their faux leader.

Joint Statement on Greenland
Statement by President Macron of France, Chancellor Merz of Germany, Prime Minister Meloni of Italy, Prime Minister Tusk of Poland, Prime Minister SΓ‘nchez of Spain, Prime Minister Starmer of the United Kingdom and Prime Minister Frederiksen of Denmark on Greenland.
Arctic security remains a key priority for Europe and it is critical for international and transatlantic security.
NATO has made clear that the Arctic region is a priority and European Allies are stepping up. We and many other Allies have increased our presence, activities and investments, to keep the Arctic safe and to deter adversaries. The Kingdom of Denmark - including Greenland - is part of NATO.
Security in the Arctic must therefore be achieved collectively, in conjunction with NATO allies including the United States, by upholding the principles of the UN Charter, including sovereignty, territorial integrity and the inviolability of borders. These are universal principles, and we will not stop defending them.
The United States is an essential partner in this endeavour, as a NATO ally and through the defence agreement between the Kingdom of Denmark and the United States of 1951.
Greenland belongs to its people. It is for Denmark and Greenland, and them only, to decide on matters concerning Denmark and Greenland.
This is where we are. Read this joint statement by France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Spain, the United Kingdom, and the Kingdom of Denmark on Greenland:
"Greenland belongs to its people. It is for Denmark and Greenland, and them only, to decide on matters concerning Denmark and Greenland."

FIVE YEARS & he has not been held accountable for one of the most disgraceful events in this nation's history.

Your queer visibility is the light that you offer to the world. Being visible and not ashamed of your queer essence is your superpower. This beautiful light scares hateful and anti-LGBTQ forces. That is why they are doing everything they can to take our rights away. Let your power of queer visibility shine brightly and bring hope to all the LGBTQ youth who need to feel loved and supported. Let it become your source of pride.
