Lawmakers Fundraise Amid Controversy

Controversy erupts as six Democratic lawmakers, dubbed the Seditious Six, face backlash for advising active-duty service members to disregard unspecified illegal orders. The group, including Senators Mark Kelly and Elissa Slotkin, and Representatives Jason Crow, Maggie Goodlander, Chris Deluzio, and Chrissy Houlahan, is accused of seditious behavior by former President Donald Trump. The War Department reviews Senator Kellys actions, leading to a surge in fundraising for his campaign, which frames the situation as political persecution. The FBI plans to interview the lawmakers, prompting a joint statement accusing Trump of intimidation. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth criticizes their actions, while Senator Slotkin admits no illegal orders have been issued by Trump. The Daily News Now! - Every city. Every story. AI Powered.
