Republican Sen. Tommy Tuberville, endangering the United States.
"Sen. Tommy Tuberville’s anti-abortion tantrum is still ongoing."
"Indeed, as recently as Wednesday night, Senate Democrats tried again to advance these uncontroversial nominees. Once again, Tuberville refused to do the right thing."
"Yet this awesome military force’s power to promote its top leaders is being held hostage by one junior senator, Tommy Tuberville of Alabama, who objects to a Pentagon policy providing aid to members who travel out of state to obtain abortions. The nominations of 265 senior military officers are on hold. Among them are the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the commandant of the Marine Corps."
"In the meantime, GOP divisions over Tuberville’s radical tactics are becoming more obvious. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, not surprisingly, endorsed the Alabaman’s blockade this week."
"Under a Washington tradition, a single senator can put a hold on any appointment that comes before the upper chamber. Overcoming just one hold is a time-consuming process that would divert the Senate from its main legislative functions.

"He then appeared on a conservative media outlet and said the administration needs to “find a way” to make him happy — or apparently he’ll continue to undermine the interests of his own country's military."
He's not well-versed in history or facts, either.
"Tuberville has wrongly identified the branches of the US government, misstated the reason why Americans fought in World War II*, and falsely claimed that Vice President Al Gore served as president-elect for 30 days during the Florida recount."
He also pledged in 2020 give every single dime he made in Washington to veterans. He has not given a single penny.**
*" When First Sergeant Charles Tuberville [his father, who he referred to] landed in France in 1944, he was part of a campaign to liberate the Allied power from the Nazis. Though the full name of the party that Hitler rode into power was the National Socialist German Workers’ Party, the Nazis were fascists."
**"Tuberville — who has vowed to “donate every penny” of his Senate salary to Alabama veterans’ groups and once ran a charity for veterans’ causes that donated less than a third of its proceeds "
