News You Can Use: Dems move to end Tubby’s assault on our Military.


Senate Dems take major step towards ending Tuberville’s military holds

It will now require at least nine Republicans to support it on the floor.

Senate Democrats took a critical step towards ending Tommy Tuberville’s eight-month-long blockade on military nominations.

The Rules Committee on Tuesday advanced a resolution that would allow military nominations to be confirmed en masse — an effort that would spoil Tuberville’s hold on military promotions, which he's vowed to continue until the Pentagon reverses an abortion policy. There are more than 400 military officer nominations in the backlog, meaning individual votes on those promotions would take hundreds of hours.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said he will bring the resolution to the floor unless Senate Republicans quickly find some other way to force Tuberville's hand.
