Team:

Pete Hegseth decided he's going to censure me, and is threatening to
demote me and reduce my pension.

I got shot at in service to this country. I missed holidays and
birthdays. I commanded a space shuttle mission and launched to the
International Space Station while my wife recovered from a gunshot wound
to the head.

My rank and retirement are things that I earned through my service and
sacrifice for this country. Generations of servicemembers have done the
same. Pete Hegseth wants to send a message to every single one that he
will come after them if they say something he doesn't like.

You swear an oath to the Constitution when you join the military —
including the First Amendment right to free speech. We swore to defend
the foundational principles of this country. I took that oath seriously
40 years ago, and I still do.

Pete Hegseth can threaten to reduce my rank and my pension. But I am not
going to let him intimidate me, or anyone else. He is not going to stop
me from defending our democracy from a president who is hellbent on
destroying it.

If they think this is going to shut me up as we fight to take back the
Senate, they've got another thing coming.
