John,
Sen. Mark Kelly — a Navy combat veteran, a former astronaut, and a public servant who’s spent his entire life defending this country — is now facing death threats from Donald Trump and an unprecedented investigation from Trump’s Pentagon.
Why?
Because he spoke the plain truth that American service members must follow the law, no matter who is president.
That’s it. That’s the “crime.”
This is what authoritarianism looks like in real time.
Sen. Kelly joined other veterans in a video reminding our troops of what every soldier already knows: their oath is to the Constitution, not a king.
Trump responded by calling for Kelly and others to be arrested. He called their words “seditious,” and suggested such “crimes” were once “punishable by death.”
This is the same tactic Trump always uses: Intimidate. Harass. Threaten. Punish.
If Trump can do this to a U.S. Senator and a decorated Navy captain, imagine what he’ll do to the rest of us if no one pushes back.
Building Blue is fighting to protect leaders like Mark Kelly — leaders who put country over king — and to elect more veterans and public servants who won’t flinch in the face of Trump’s bullying.
But we need you in this fight. Can we count on you to step up today and help us defend democracy from a president who is openly weaponizing the Pentagon against his political opponents? Chip in now to stand with Mark Kelly and every American who believes in the rule of law.

America deserves leaders who uphold their oath, not a president who threatens to destroy anyone who honors it.
