As the Persian Gulf heats up, top military leaders are stuck in Tuberville’s hold - POLITICO https://apple.news/ALDY7YWkJQniLiY3ItgnTCQ “U.S. forces are on high alert in the Persian Gulf. As Tehran attempts to seize merchant ships in the Strait of Hormuz, the U.S. is sending warships, fighter jets and even considering stationing armed troops aboard civilian vessels to protect mariners.
Yet two of the top senior officers overseeing the escalating situation aren’t where they're supposed to be.
“Let me be clear,” Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said on Friday, “in our dangerous world, the security of the United States demands orderly and prompt transitions of our confirmed military leaders.”

Tuberville is a consumate asshole.
No Republican (moderates like Romney, Murkowski, Collins…) have said many words to condemn his hold.
Democrats have not even threatened breaking the filibuster for this one matter under the guise of national security even if to just show that Tuberville is not the only Republican.
Assholery and cowardice all around.
nostr:npub1ddpukxz4rkcadch7gu5hqre42lju5spyg2ph747yvgysathy4ulqye2tax I agree. No one is speaking up. Veterans who can speak for those in service voices are being drowned out. He says Alabama backs him. He’s lying. He’s a fraudulent scheming senator who was born in Arkansas, and up to six months before they elected him here lived in Florida. Alabama Democrats nor the DNC did nothing to help Doug Jones get re-elected. Jones did more in his 18months then Tuberville during his entire time. It’s shameful and embarrassing.
