As two men clung to a stricken, burning ship targeted by SEAL Team 6, the Joint Special Operations commander followed the defense secretary’s order to leave no survivors.
Sen. Mark Kelly: Trump and Hegseth don‘t ‚understand the Constitution‘
On Monday, the Pentagon announced an investigation into Kelly, a retired U.S. Navy fighter pilot, for possible violations of military law for appearing in the video. The video was published as legal questions swirl around the Trump administration‘s deployment of National Guard troops to U.S. cities.
While the White House has since walked back the president‘s remarks calling the Senators‘ video „seditious behavior, punishable by DEATH,“ Kelly told All Things Considered he thinks President Trump is „declaring that loyalty to the Constitution is punishable by death.“
My Statement on FBI Request for Interviews
President Trump is using the FBI as a tool to intimidate and harass Members of Congress.
Yesterday, the FBI contacted the House and Senate Sergeants at Arms requesting interviews. No amount of intimidation or harassment will ever stop us from doing our jobs and honoring our Constitution.
We swore an oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States. That oath lasts a lifetime, and we intend to keep it. We will not be bullied. We will never give up the ship.

FBI scheduling interviews with 6 lawmakers who encouraged military members to refuse ‚illegal orders‘
On Monday, the Department of War announced that it has opened a formal review into allegations of misconduct against Kelly over the video.
The Pentagon said it may even call Kelly, a retired Navy captain, back to active duty to face court-martial proceedings or other administrative actions under the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ). Four of the other Democrats are former military, but not retired and therefore are not subject to the UCMJ, according to Secretary of War Pete Hegseth. Slotkin is a former CIA officer.

Pentagon threatens to recall Sen. Mark Kelly to military service for court martial over illegal orders video
The investigation comes as President Donald Trump has been pushing relentlessly for consequences for Kelly and five other Democratic lawmakers over a video they made reminding servicemembers of their duty to disobey illegal orders, calling their actions “seditious” and “treason.”
Because Kelly was a senior officer who retired from the Navy, he is required to remain available for recall to the military by law. The other five lawmakers, Sen. Elissa Slotkin, Rep. Jason Crow, Rep. Maggie Goodlander, Rep. Chris Deluzio and Rep. Chrissy Houlahan, are not eligible for recall to a military service.
Joint Statement from Lawmakers Slotkin, Kelly, Crow, Deluzio, Goodlander, and Houlahan
(November 20, 2025)
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Senator Elissa Slotkin (D-MI), Senator Mark Kelly (D-AZ) and Representatives Jason Crow (D-CO-06), Chris Deluzio (D-PA-17), Maggie Goodlander (D-NH-02), and Chrissy Houlahan (D-PA-06) released the following joint statement:
“We are veterans and national security professionals who love this country and swore an oath to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. That oath lasts a lifetime, and we intend to keep it. No threat, intimidation, or call for violence will deter us from that sacred obligation.“
“What’s most telling is that the President considers it punishable by death for us to restate the law. Our servicemembers should know that we have their backs as they fulfill their oath to the Constitution and obligation to follow only lawful orders. It is not only the right thing to do, but also our duty.“
“But this isn’t about any one of us. This isn’t about politics. This is about who we are as Americans. Every American must unite and condemn the President’s calls for our murder and political violence. This is a time for moral clarity.“
“In these moments, fear is contagious, but so is courage. We will continue to lead and will not be intimidated.“
“Don’t Give Up the Ship!”

Trump says Democrats’ video message to military is ‘seditious behavior’ punishable by death
(November 20, 2025)
President Donald Trump on Thursday accused half a dozen Democratic lawmakers of sedition “punishable by DEATH” after the lawmakers — all veterans of the armed services and intelligence community — called on U.S. military members to uphold the constitution and defy “illegal orders.”
The 90-second video was first posted early Tuesday from Sen. Elissa Slotkin’s X account. In it, the six lawmakers — Slotkin, Arizona Sen. Mark Kelly, and Reps. Jason Crow, Chris Deluzio, Maggie Goodlander and Chrissy Houlahan — speak directly to U.S. service members, whom Slotkin acknowledges are “under enormous stress and pressure right now.”
Nach Aufruf ans Militär Trump wirft sechs Demokraten Hochverrat vor
Ein Video, in dem sechs Kongressmitglieder der US-Demokraten Militärangehörige aufrufen, illegale Befehle nicht zu befolgen, hat US-Präsident Donald Trump in Rage versetzt. Er bezeichnete deren Appell als Hochverrat. Die sechs Demokraten seien „Verräter“, schrieb er auf seiner Plattform Truth Social. Ihr „aufwieglerisches Verhalten“ sei „strafbar mit dem Tode“. In einem weiteren Beitrag begnügte er sich in der für ihn üblichen Großschreibung damit, die Frage zu stellen, ob die Beteiligten eingesperrt werden sollten.

Bundesnachrichtendienst: Bald ein echter Geheimdienst?
(November 13, 2025)
Nun scheint klar: Das neue BND-Gesetz wird einen gewaltigen Umfang haben. Seit dieser Woche gibt es nach WDR-Informationen einen Referentenentwurf, der 139 Paragraphen enthalten soll.
(…)
Die Entscheidungen des Bundesverfassungsgerichts der vergangenen Jahre, die bei der Überarbeitung des neuen Gesetzes berücksichtigt werden, haben die Arbeit des BND nicht einfacher gemacht. Die Vorschriften zur Datenübermittlung etwa sind bereits jetzt sehr streng.
(…)
Der BND hackte sich vor einigen Jahren in die Chatkommunikation der russischen Wagner-Söldner und las dort mit. Aber das Programm aktiv stören oder abschalten, das ist bislang ebenso wenig erlaubt wie IT-Strukturen anzugreifen und unschädlich zu machen, von denen gegnerische Hackerangriffe ausgehen.
Modi Vows Justice as Police Suspect Terrorism in Deadly New Delhi Blast
India frequently accuses Pakistan of being behind attacks on its soil, saying that they are orchestrated by groups operating from sanctuaries across the border. A deadly terrorist attack this spring that killed 26 people in the Indian-administered region of Kashmir led to days of military conflict between the nuclear-armed neighbors.
At the time, Mr. Modi’s government issued a warning that it would treat any future terrorist attack on its soil as an “act of war.”
Opinion | Inside The ‚Amendment‘ That May Make Asim Munir Pak‘s Supreme Authority
The 27th Constitutional Amendment Bill, tabled by Pakistan‘s federal government and passed by the Senate on November 10, is far from a routine procedural adjustment. It represents a structural reconfiguration of the Pakistani state. The provisions, now awaiting final approval from the National Assembly, will effectively formalise Pakistan‘s foundational transition from a de facto hybrid military system to a constitutional framework in which the military establishment holds a legally codified and dominant position.

Colombia releases US drone strike survivor, claiming no evidence links him to drug trafficking
If the former suspect was involved in criminal activity, as claimed by the US Government, the prosecutors received no evidence of this.
„He has no criminal record, nor is his name linked to any criminal network. It is most likely that he was hired to transport the cargo to a specific location, but that he was not the mastermind behind the drug trafficking operation. This is what is known as the outsourcing of criminal activity.“ Prosecution source
Obando’s release from detention and hospital comes weeks after the Ecuadorean prosecution released the second surviving victim of the attempted extrajudicial killing without charges because there was “no report of a crime that has been brought to the attention of this institution.”
Who is Richard LA? ICE agents shoot TikToker while serving warrant
An attorney handling things for the family, said his client was neither a dangerous nor an uncivil person. “What we know about Richard is that he‘s a very pacifist man, very calm. We find it very odd what‘s being said about him,” his family lawyer further told NBC Los Angeles. Los Angeles City Councilmember Curren Price’s office said the man who was shot has lived in the city for decades and is a well-known member of the community.

U.S. chemist Omar Yaghi, who on Wednesday became the first Palestinian scientist to win a Nobel Prize, reached the pinnacle of his profession after “quite a journey,” he said in remarks posted to X from the official Nobel account, recorded just after he learned the news.

• Shoot-out and escape: Officers responded to a shooting at Hoffman’s address around 2 a.m. local time and were still investigating when, about an hour and a half later, officers who went to check on Hortman found a man coming out of her house. The gunman exchanged fire with officers and escaped.
• Stun gun and law enforcement gear: The suspect was dressed like a police officer when he came out of Hortman’s home and was driving a vehicle that looked like a patrol car. He was wearing “a vest, with Taser, other equipment,” Brooklyn Park police chief Mark Bruley said Saturday during a news conference.
