Kelly: He runs around on stage talking about lethality and the warrior ethos.. That’s not the message that should be coming from the Secretary of Defense… He runs around on a stage like he’s a 12 year old playing army. It’s embarrassing.

More Dems - especially Dem leadership - need to talk like this.

So... it begins. Each day of the Starship Alexandria Advent Calendar, @aptshadow.bsky.social and I will take turns to enthuse about a favourite TV show. The first 'window' opens to the Enterprise NCC-1701-D... No points for guessing whose choice that was ;) starshipalexandria.com/day-1-2025-a...

Kelly: “I was notified of a potential court-martial through a tweet by the Secretary of Defense…I think that says a lot about who Pete Hegseth is and what he cares about. He doesn't care about the law…He doesn't care about accountability. He cares about views on his Twitter account.”

Kelly: “I've been through a lot worse in service to my country. The president and Pete Hegseth are not going to silence me.”

Sen. Kelly: “[Trump] is ignorant to the Constitution and has no regard for the rule of law…I will not be intimidated by this president. I am not going to be silenced by this president or the people around him because I've given too much in service to this country to back down to this guy.”

Kelly: “Trump and Hegseth, they care more about publicity than they do about the rule of law. That's how I ended up finding out via a tweet that the Secretary of Defense was ordering an investigation into me…If there is anyone who needs to answer questions in public and under oath it is Hegseth.”

Sen. Kelly: “The president of the United States said that two US Senators and four members of the House of Representatives should be arrested, hanged, executed for something we said, for something that is true…He uses every single opportunity to divide us.”

Sen. Kelly: “President Trump is trying to silence me. Threatening to kill me for saying what is true. And he sent his Secretary of Defense after me. And it's not going to work.”

Sen. Mark Kelly: “President Trump is trying to silence me. Threatening to kill me for saying what is true. And he sent his Secretary of Defense after me. And it's not going to work.”

Sen. Kelly: “I take the threats from this president seriously. How many times in our country's history have you heard a president of the United States say that members of the Senate and the House should be hanged?…Those words carry a lot of weight…I'm not intimidated by Donald Trump.”

Body cam shows an immigration agent asking ChatGPT for help writing a report: “During surveillance in the area, I observed a male subject loitering while seated in a vehicle. Based on his behavior, I approached and initiated a consensual encounter.” ICYMI: www.chicagotribune.com/2025/11/28/b...

Few nursing homes can care for people who need help breathing with a ventilator because of ALS and other conditions. Insurers often deny payment for the best at-home machines, and innovative solutions are endangered by Medicaid cuts.

Why doesn’t anyone ever talk about that stinking amazing apartment Harry and Libby have in Voyager Non-Sequitor?

Welker: "DHS posted 'Remigration now!'…How, specifically, does the Trump administration define 'remigration'?" Kristi Noem: *refuses to answer the question*

You’ll Get to have heart disease, cancer, being stressed out. It’ll be great! #TOSSatnight

When you really think about it this episode is all over the place. #TOSSatnight

🎯 @robsandia.bsky.social on Private School Vouchers (for the wealthy) — “CALL THEIR BLUFF… if they want public dollars, they should have to follow the same rules as public schools… it’s not a ‘COMPETITION’ when not everyone is playing by the same rules.” (cc: Speaker Sexton)

What’s this obsession with being healthy and happy as being a bad thing. #TOSSatnight

Vaal doesn’t want to feed more than 20 people #TOSSatnight

Seriously if Starfleet Academy doesn’t have a n improv class it’ll be a shame. Clearly even Spock took it. #TOSSatnight

Actually it was very avoidable Spock. #TOSSatnight

Spock’s extremely rotten no god day. #TOSSatnight

When Spock tosses that I always laugh. But also why didn’t it blow when he snapped it in half? . #TOSSatnight

STOP SMELLING THE FLOWERS! #TOSSatnight

“I didn’t…exactly say that”. lol #TOSSatnight

Soooo are they just planning on taking over the planet? #TOSSatnight

Gonna need democrats to not fall for fake, dumb, ops, and/or republican candidates posing as democrats during the next presidential cycle

Unvaccinated infants are the second most likely group to get hospitalized for Covid after older adults. Any effort to minimize the effectiveness for kids is evil.

They didn’t hide it.

The president and the speaker are scrambling to promote a candidate in a gerrymandered Tennessee district Trump won by 22 points last year. That’s the smell of panic in the air.

Oh hi.

wapo.st/49KbUJ1 Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth gave a spoken directive, according to two people with direct knowledge of the operation. “The order was to kill everybody,” one of them said.

Miles, an Indigenous actor best known for her roles in “Northern Exposure,” “Smoke Signals,” “Wyvern” and “The Last of Us,” handed them her tribal ID from the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation in Oregon. Yet, Miles recalled one agent calling it “fake.”

Baahaha. The favors my hosts made for everyone’s plate for Thanksgiving.

Happy Thanksgiving 1 week post RC surgery. I didn’t think I could do this but I’m having hope.

Ignorant children. They are ignorant children.

US triples national park fee for non-residents, amid ‘new’ fee for Americans Interior department, which has defunded conservation organizations, claims fee hike is for conservation www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Really enjoying the sequel to The Bodyguard

BLITZER: “I just want to be precise - should members of the military obey clearly illegal orders?” Republicans like @RepLisaMcClain now openly say the military should ignore their oath to the constitution, and follow Trump no matter what. This is how democracies end.

Remember the whole “China will by 25 Million Metric tons of soybeans” thing they said to calm Farmers down? So far? Not even close. And China never confirmed it. And Republicans are silent. @rustygrills @MarshaBlackburn @RepTimBurchett @GovBillLee @RepFaison
