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.
Is there a way for USA to have more than two political parties?
I think when you have two only it’s become unreliable to base any generalised assumption about a party member.
Only with ranked choice voting, otherwise the math our system forces on us makes it impossible. A successful third party will just devour one of the other two within a few years.
