As a response to the illegal strikes in Venezuela, Congress must force votes and debate every day this month on War Power Resolutions to prevent Trump from invading:

Cuba
Columbia
Greenland
Nigeria
Panama
Iran

It is time for Congress to wake up & do our job.

[Senator Mark Kelly @SenMarkKelly]

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 reminder - before Trump, MAGA, Musk and Fox rewrote history - that this is what the entire country agreed had happened five years ago today:

[Really American 🇺🇸 @ReallyAmerican1]

BREAKING: BREAKING: 2016 video of Pete Hegseth exposes staggering hypocrisy: He said the military must refuse unlawful orders, the very stance he is now punishing Sen. Kelly for taking.

Make sure everyone sees this.

[Protect Kamala Harris ✊ @DisavowTrump20]

🚨NEW: Pete Hegseth is cutting Senator Mark Kelly’s military pension and demoting his rank as punishment for telling service-members to not follow illegal orders in a recent video.

RETWEET if you stand with @CaptMarkKelly against Hegseth!

[Hillary Clinton @HillaryClinton]

Five years ago today, Donald Trump urged his supporters to attack Congress and the Capitol over a proven lie. More than 140 police officers were injured.

Trump then pardoned the attackers.

He betrayed his oath and his country, and we won't ever forget it.

[Andrea Junker @Strandjunker]

2 died of Ebola: They said Obama should resign.

4 died in Benghazi: They had Hillary testify for 11 hours, held 33 hearings and launched a multiyear probe.

1,035,031 Covid deaths plus an armed insurrection thanks to Trump’s malevolence: They cheered and want America to move on.

Gotta love the smell of gun safety legislation in the morning 👃🏽♨️

What is the point of throwing $768 billion at the military when there's no war, at a time when millions of families are going hungry — and continue to lack the care they need to survive, let alone thrive?

Just beautiful!!

@ambernoelle Taking it 25 years. I take .5 now instead of .25, its the only thing that works. I take 1/2 doses during the day and a whole one at night with 1/2 an indica gummy (legal) and I sleep well every night. I'd been a light sleeper due to the traumas. Occasionally tequila shots (2max)

@TristanSnell It figures!!!

Strange how Manchin never asked “how we will pay for” the $768,000,000,000 defense budget.

@nprpolitics Hit him in the wallet where it hurts. Let him be charged with contempt and assessed a daily fine until he complies with Congress' request.
