A political and legal firestorm has erupted in Washington as Senator Mark Kelly files a lawsuit against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, alleging retaliation by the Pentagon following a video message that criticized the Trump administration and reaffirmed service members’ right to refuse unlawful military orders. The lawsuit claims that Kelly was threatened with formal censure and a downgrade of his retirement rank, a move that could result in reduced pay and benefits, after the video triggered backlash from both the White House and senior Pentagon leadership. Kelly argues the proposed actions violate free speech protections and due process under military law, and were initiated outside established military procedures. WATCH
