Mark Kelly: "This president, when he says things like 'third world countries,' what is he really saying? I think what he's saying is he doesn't want brown people in our country. And that's disturbing. It's un-American."

Mark Kelly: "My concern is with the service members -- we're gonna put these individuals in a really tough place. They may find our down the road that they did something that's illegal. It's not fair to them. That's why need presidents and secretaries of defense who understand the Constitution"

Kelly: "We say, 'follow the law,' and this is their response? These are not serious people. This is meant to just intimidate us. We're sticking up for the Constitution here and the rule of law and they're saying these folks should be executed for doing that. He's not gonna stop me from speaking out"

I’ll let the lawyers and the court s determine the legality is such an order, but Hegseth’s order is grotesquely immoral and extremely damaging to Americas reputation around the world.
SCOOP: For the Trump admin's Sept. 2 strike targeting 11 men on a boat suspected of ferrying drugs, SecDef Hegseth gave an order, officials say, to kill them all. When two men were still alive, orders were given to strike again, finishing them off.

🧵This 58-year-old nurse from Maryland is seen being violently dragged along the ground by officials in Ghana.

Trump deported her there.

This abhorrent & disgusting abuse of a woman who saved American lives and cared for injured and ill Americans for 30 years.

All the details below are worse.

Imagine calling a decent person stupid or the R-word and getting cheered for it because “at least they’re being honest.” That is MAGA.

The names of Epstein’s victims must be protected, period.

A judge is already moving to redact the victims before the files are released. So if the survivors are shielded, the DOJ has no excuse for any other redactions, right?

After pressure from the Justice Department, Apple pulled apps from its App Store that encourage reporting ICE activity. Google followed suit by pulling similar apps from its Play Store.

The government shouldn't be choosing what apps we can download, and neither should tech companies.
