Stand With Sen. Mark Kelly Against Political Intimidation

Senator Mark Kelly has spent his life serving this country — as a Navy combat pilot, an astronaut, and now as a U.S. senator. Today, he’s standing up once again, this time against a dangerous attempt by the Trump administration to silence dissent and punish free speech.

After Kelly urged U.S. service members to refuse illegal orders, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth responded not with respect for the Constitution, but with threats — launching a process to strip Kelly of his earned rank and retirement pay. This is not about discipline or law. It’s about intimidation. It’s about sending a chilling message to every retired service member: speak out against this administration, and you will be punished.

Kelly has made it clear he will not back down. He earned his rank through sacrifice, courage, and decades of service, and he is fighting not just for himself, but for the fundamental right of Americans — including veterans — to speak freely without fear of retaliation.

Add your name to stand with Senator Mark Kelly against political intimidation, to defend free speech, and to say clearly: no administration gets to weaponize the military to silence those who stand up for the Constitution!
