You can taste the rush. The dough hadn't risen.
Summary
The Pentagon has initiated proceedings against Democratic Senator Mark Kelly, a retired Navy captain, for allegedly urging service members to refuse unlawful orders following US strikes on drug-trafficking boats. The Department of Defense has given Kelly 30 days to respond to the notice, and the proceedings could result in a reduction of his retired grade and military pension. The action was announced by Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, who emphasized that as a retired military officer still receiving a pension, Kelly remains accountable to military justice.
