Senator Tuberville Holds Military Promotions Amid Abortion Funding Policy Dispute

This article discusses Senator Tommy Tuberville's stance on President Biden's military promotions and his refusal to release holds until the administration reverts its abortion funding policy. The Biden administration accuses Tuberville of jeopardizing national security, while Tuberville argues for individual nominations to be voted on. Despite criticism, military branches and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer have yet to respond.

That's one hell of a lot of gall to think as ONE brand new senator he gets to determine policy for the ENTIRE US military!!!

Tommy, you want to play army? Become a general or get into the state department where these things are decided.

In the meantime, Tommy, stop trying to make a woman from, say, California not be a to get an abortion which is LEGAL for her because that makes the religious nuts in your state happy.

Oh, and be more careful on stairs. Your oversized ego and inflated sense of importance are clearly throwing you off balance.

Cruz did the same thing with ambassadors and state department personnel and Paul is continuing to block ambassadors.

"The House voted on Friday to expel Republican Rep. George Santos of New York after a critical ethics report on his conduct that accused him of converting campaign donations for his own use. He was just the sixth member in the chamber’s history to be ousted by colleagues."

Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) United States Senator

Handsome.

[politicalantibody]

Another member of the traitorous GQP shitshow

Klansman Tuberville is holding these positions open for Trump to fill with his Nazi MAGAt loyalists as part of Project 2025. It also weakens us at the present in our ability to defend ourselves and coordinate with our allies. Not only is he working for Trump he is working for Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea. He must be removed!

Obviously, the Alabama Supreme Court actually putting fetal personhood into law is another victory for creeping Christian Authoritarianism and yet another attack on health care, womens' rights, and bodily autonomy....but watching the Republicans flip their shit now that IVF clinics are in danger of closing is hilarious in a "the clown car is on fire" kind of way.

Because of course this was going to happen. Fetal personhood and anti-surrogacy (especially in the context of same-sex parents) has been bouncing around in conservative religious and legal circles (but what's the difference?) for decades, with those pesky liberals warning about it for just as long. Anyone with an inkling of awareness of the issue could have seen it coming.

So the fact that they were caught so off guard is myopic enough. And they're panicking for a very good reason, because yanno who generally goes to IVF clinics?

The people who can afford it.

Certainly the abortion bans in various states were bad, but if you had a lot of disposable income you could just...go to another state. Extremely inconvenient, yes, but not insurmountable. But this?

Oh my god, now the far-right pro-life politics that you've been cultivating for going on fifty years is now in a position to affect people with money? People that matter? Now you have to try and contend with the very extremist judges you installed that don't have to worry about getting elected and whose decisions are now putting you on the political chopping block?

Join us the in misery you're created for everyone else, assholes.

Jonathan Nicholson at HuffPost:

Donald Trump’s “guilty” verdict on 34 counts of falsifying business records in his hush money trial could make it harder for the Senate to get much work done in the next few months — at least, if a group of pro-Trump senators has their way. Eight Republican senators said Friday they would try to slow down the Senate’s business in response to the verdict. Unlike the House, the Senate runs its day-to-day business under small, temporary agreements between the majority Democrats and minority Republicans. It’s a system that can be undermined sometimes by even one obstinate senator.

“The White House has made a mockery of the rule of law and fundamentally altered our politics in un-American ways. As a Senate Republican conference we are unwilling to aid and abet this White House in its project to tear this country apart,” said the eight senators in a letter. Signatories included Sens. Mike Lee (R-Utah), J.D. Vance (R-Ohio), Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.), Eric Schmitt (R-Mo.), Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.), Rick Scott (R-Fla.), Roger Marshall (R-Kan.) and Marco Rubio (R-Fla.). Specifically, the group promised three things: to not allow any increase in “non-security” funding or spending bills that fund “partisan lawfare”; to not vote for any of the White House’s political or judicial nominees; and to not allow faster consideration of Democratic legislative priorities “not directly relevant to the safety of the American people.”

“Those who turned our judicial system into a political cudgel must be held accountable,” Lee said in a social media post about the letter. “We are no longer cooperating with any Democrat legislative priorities or nominations, and we invite all concerned Senators to join our stand.”

8 felon-coddling Republican Senators signed a letter that they’ll muck up even more business in the Senate in protest of the guilty verdict handed down by a jury in the Trump business records falsification trial.

The 8 signatories are: Mike Lee, J.D. Vance, Tommy Tuberville, Eric Schmitt, Marsha Blackburn, Rick Scott, Roger Marshall, and Marco Rubio.

Surprisingly, Ted Cruz, Josh Hawley, and Tom Cotton didn’t sign on to it.

I am not sure the military would be willing to go along. They are, after all, sworn to uphold the Constitution against all enemies, both foreign and domestic. On the other hand, Tuberville is still blocking the appointment of top brass, perhaps waiting for Trump II.

A veterans group is running this ad in Alabama aimed at Sen. Tommy Tuberville – who the narrator calls "Senator Trouble".

Tuberville is holding up Senate confirmation of senior US military commanders to protest abortion.

GOP splits further over Tuberville’s military blockade as it stretches through summer

Tuberville's grandstanding is putting US national security at risk – and he just doesn't care. While some Republicans disagree with Tuberville, they are unwilling to do anything to break the logjam.

Just as Republicans can no longer be regarded the party of law and order, they have also forfeited cachet of being strong on defense. Staying on the good side of anti-abortion extremists is more important to the GOP than protecting the American homeland.

Senator Tuberville's amendment failed
