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.

    The dems need to plaster this smug fucks face leering over a dead soldiers body with the caption “Because of Republican Inaction. I Wasn’t Ready.”

    These ads write themselves.

      Eh, the only reason Doug Jones won in Alabama was because he ran against an admitted pedophile, and that contest was close.

      Tuberville knows he can get away with a lot of shit as long as he stays Republican.
