Captain Mark Kelly
@captmarkkelly.bsky.social
Navy combat veteran and retired NASA astronaut. Husband to @GabbyGiffords.bsky.social. United States Senator for the great state of Arizona.
Even as the cost of health care, groceries, and rent are skyrocketing for working families, Trump and Republicans are giving billionaires massive tax cuts. We need to take back the House and the Senate to elect people who will focus on working families and lowering costs.

Greg Jarvis — payload specialist, Hughes Aircraft engineer. Worked on satellite communications that changed how we connect. A quiet professional who loved his work.

Christa McAuliffe — teacher, mother, everyday hero. She was going to teach lessons from space to millions of students. Her mission to inspire young people continues through educators everywhere.
January 28, 2026 at 5:51 PM
Ron McNair — physicist, saxophonist, second African American in space. Overcame segregation to earn a PhD from MIT. Showed kids that nothing could limit their potential.
January 28, 2026 at 5:51 PM
Ellison Onizuka — Air Force test pilot, first Asian American in space. Grew up in Hawaii dreaming of the stars. His legacy inspired a generation of engineers and astronauts.
January 28, 2026 at 5:51 PM
Judy Resnik — electrical engineer, second American woman in space. Brilliant and determined, she broke barriers and proved what women could achieve in space exploration.
January 28, 2026 at 5:51 PM
Pilot Mike Smith — Navy aviator on his first spaceflight. His calm voice in those final moments showed the professionalism every astronaut aspires to.
January 28, 2026 at 5:51 PM
Commander Dick Scobee — Air Force pilot, aerospace engineer, leader. Waited years for his chance to command a shuttle. He left behind a family who never stopped honoring his memory.

40 years ago today, we lost seven heroes aboard Challenger. As an astronaut who commanded the space shuttle after this tragedy, I think about them often. Their courage pushed the boundaries of exploration. Today, we remember their sacrifice and the legacy they left behind.

I'm voting no on DHS funding.

Masked agents are operating in our streets and hurting people with zero accountability. It’s un-American.

If you’re upset and want to help, call your senators and representatives and tell them this chaos needs to stop.

You don’t have to be a rocket scientist to understand how much Trump’s tariffs are raising costs and making life harder.

Look at this number. That’s how much Arizona families’ costs went up in 2025 because of this President.

Don’t let this White House lie to you. Believe what you see.

Alex Pretti was trying to help a woman off the ground. Then immigration agents tackled, shot, and killed him.

It’s time for them to get the hell out of MN.

For some reason, Trump said his tariffs would bring costs down for Americans. But the data shows what you already know: Americans are bearing 96% of the tariff burden. That's $200 billion coming straight out of our pockets because of him.

Reminder that it’s been over a month since Trump’s Justice Department was legally obligated to release all of the Epstein files. They’ve still failed to do so, and every day they wait is another day victims don’t get accountability.
January 21, 2026 at 8:05 PM
Another promise broken. We have to stop taking Trump's claims at face value and start looking at the results. This Administration isn’t delivering for American workers.
January 20, 2026 at 1:11 AM
It was great to hear from so many veterans yesterday in Georgia. These folks sacrificed so much for our country and they deserve a government that has their back. My friend @ossoff.bsky.social understands that, and it’s why we need to keep him in the Senate to continue fighting for our vets.
January 17, 2026 at 6:31 PM
Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth have tried to silence me for speaking out.

Today, I’m fighting back because this isn’t just about me. This is about the rights of all retired veterans and all Americans, and I’m not going to let this Administration take those away.
January 12, 2026 at 8:16 PM
Even after 15 years, Gabby's strength never ceases to amaze me. After everything she's overcome, she inspires me every single day.
January 8, 2026 at 8:24 PM
Trump and Hegseth are trying to intimidate me into silence. After 25 years in the Navy, I can tell you — that's not going to work. This is about defending everyone's First Amendment rights.
January 6, 2026 at 10:27 PM
I'm never backing down. I'm going to continue holding this Administration accountable because I won't let them intimidate me or any American out of speaking their mind.

Four generations of my family have served our country. Service is in my blood. The President wouldn’t know anything about that.
January 5, 2026 at 6:24 PM
Growing up the son of two cops, I remember what it was like watching my mom have to figure out which bills to pay.

I know what families are up against right now, and that’s why I’m focused on bringing down costs and making life affordable again for working class folks.
January 2, 2026 at 8:25 PM
In 2026, Americans deserve leadership that’s focused on results.
January 1, 2026 at 7:22 PM
This time of year reminds me why I serve — to fight for the future my granddaughter and all of our kids deserve. Wishing you all a wonderful holiday season and happy new year.

Teachers build the future using science, data, and facts, and our public schools deserve leaders who do the same. I’ll always stand up for educators, students, and public education.
