Sen. Tommy Tuberville doubles down after blocking hundreds of military promotions: 'I don't care if they promote anybody'
The Pentagon allowed service members to get reimbursed for leaving the state to access abortion care post-Roe v. Wade.
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.

What a stupid and fucking disgusting hill to die on. This guy was just a fucking football coach and now this rosacea ridden mother fucker is holding our military back. Fuck him and fuck the gop.
Don't make fun of medical conditions. Plenty of people have rosacea and shouldn't be shamed for it. He's got plenty of actually bad qualities that we can focus on.
Fair point.
