Tuberville, who’s singlehandedly blocked hundreds of military promotions in protest over the Pentagon’s abortion policies, said he’s not going to change his mind and doesn’t care that people aren’t being promoted.
After the US Supreme Court reversed decades of precedent in overturning its decision in the Roe v. Wade abortion access case in 2022, the Pentagon announced its plan to reimburse service members who need to travel out-of-state to receive abortion services.
Tuberville, a Republican senator out of Alabama, took exception to the decision and said he’d use his power to stymie any military nominations and promotions he could. Since February, he’s blocked more than 300 promotions.
Lol. Alabama is the last place where anyone not an R has even a snowballs chance in hell. The democratic party basically doesn’t even bother to try in AL since they know their money and effort is better spent elsewhere.
The one place that might be slightly more Republican is Mississippi, but that’s about it
