Folks, Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth thought they could bully decorated veterans into silence.
He thought Democrats would fall in line after his threats. He was dead wrong.
FIRST: Senator Mark Kelly, a decorated veteran, and five other veterans in Congress filmed a video noting service members can refuse to carry out illegal orders.
THEN: Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth had a MELTDOWN and opened a politically motivated investigation into the lawmakers.
NOW: Democrats everywhere are rallying behind these courageous lawmakers after a grand jury flat out REJECTED the investigation for being a clear abuse of power.
This was never about justice. It was about intimidation and targeting elected officials for telling the truth.
When those in power try to use the federal government as a political weapon, there must be consequences.
That’s why we’re launching a petition to stand with these lawmakers and demand accountability for those who launched this baseless, politically motivated investigation. We must make it clear that abusing power to target political opponents will NOT be tolerated. Add your name right now to stand with Senator Kelly and the other lawmakers and hold Trump and Hegseth accountable.
