The censure stems from Kelly’s participation in a video urging troops to resist unlawful orders, a move Hegseth said could lead to Kelly’s demotion. Kelly argued the investigation is meant to silence dissent, saying he will fight “with everything I’ve got” to push back against President Donald Trump and Hegseth.

Everyone close to Trump ( including said heap of fecal material) is just so petty…almost beyond belief
My goodness I read this as Pete Buttigieg and was so confused
When an adult takes over the Executive branch, and by adult, I mean a Democrat, then this will all be rectified.

Breaking news: Mark Kelly busted down to “upper atmosphere inhabitant” from astronaut
They are really stupid.
Americans want one thing. People to fight back against this regime. Send in an astronaut with 25 years of military service.
I expect Kelly to make a run in 2028

He should run 2028
Who’d have ever thought that you could be censured for quoting the UCMJ?
Kelly is a complete bad ass and has a will of steel. He knows that he’s being incorrectly targeted by a corrupt administration.
