Senator Mark Kelly Sues War Department Over Demotion and Reduced Retirement Pay

Senator Mark Kelly has filed a lawsuit against the War Department and Secretary Pete Hegseth, alleging they improperly demoted him and reduced his retirement pay after he publicly criticized military policies. Kelly, a retired Naval officer, had previously urged the administration to address issues related to veterans' affairs. The senator claims that his actions were retaliatory and unfairly impacted his benefits. He is seeking compensation for the losses incurred due to the department's actions.
