Democrats channel abortion anger into swing district success, raising questions about Republican 'red wave'
CNN
The US Supreme Court decision wiping out federal abortion rights was only a few hours old when, in Washington, a group of Democratic lawmakers stood on the steps of the US Capitol singing "God Bless America."
In upstate New York, though, Democrat Pat Ryan and his campaign team were scrambling to deliver a more potent reply, posting online an ad they had filmed shortly after the court's draft opinion had leaked weeks earlier.
The appeal began like so many others, with a note on the Ulster County executive's personal history: two tours in Iraq fighting "for our families, for our freedom."

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth announced Monday that the Pentagon is taking administrative action to punish Sen. Mark Kelly, a retired Navy captain, by cutting his retirement pay for participating in a video where he and other Democratic lawmakers reminded US service members of their duty to refuse illegal orders.
