NEW: Sen. Mark Kelly RESPONDS to Pete Hegseth for censuring him, cutting his military pension, threatening to demote his rank, and warning of possible criminal prosecution for telling soldiers to obey their oath.
Sen. Kelly statement: 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.

Oh my girl, 🥺 we're all hoping the next car you go in to have some peace and quiet will be the one to drive you home. MELIA is tired of the noisy shelter. All she needs is an adult only home, a cozy bed, peaceful walks, and someone to love her. She can live with cats. No dogs. Come on
🥺🥺🥺

The expiration of ACA subsidies will have "ripple effects," warns @kff.org Exec VP of Health Policy Larry Levitt. "There is years and years and years of research showing that if you don't have insurance...your household finances will be worse, and in fact, you are likely to die sooner." #Velshi
Expiration of ACA subsidies will have ‘ripple effects’ in health care and economy
Since Congress allowed the Affordable Care Act subsidies to lapse at the end of 2025, millions of Americans are starting off the new year with a significantly higher health insurance bill. Some are opting to just go without insurance at all. KFF’s Executive Vice President of Health Policy Larry Levitt tells Ali Velshi that the “combined loss” of the subsidies and Medicaid cuts will have “ripple effects throughout the system.” Levitt adds, “If you increase the number of non-paying patients, people who are uninsured, it's just going to make the numbers that much harder to work for you.”

Choosing kindness is the best decision to make.
A decision to protect the innocent, to speak for the voiceless, and to do better every single time.

I do absolutely adore Mister Wilfred.

Do adopt older cats.

They're often left alone in the shelters. They don't understand why their previous people couldn't stay with them. And then they're alone in a place full of noise and other cats.

Yet they make the best pets when you adopt them.
Mister Wilfred, an older black cat, snuggled in a blanket, looking literally like the cat who got the cream. If you are able, please consider adopting an older rescue cat. They will give you the best cat loves. They know how lucky they are, and they only want us to feel the same.

Many don't realize that the most vulnerable or immune compromised depend on the rest getting vaccinated properly to keep diseases from spreading out of control. It's not just “my body, my choice” when it comes to saving lives.
Screenshot of a NewsWire post on X displaying a headline stating that U.S. vaccination rates are declining and that no county in Idaho, Louisiana, Oregon, Tennessee, Utah, or Wisconsin has reached kindergarten herd immunity. The headline cites The Washington Post and appears on a plain background without an accompanying photo.
