Even as we weaken Russia’s military, the GOP weakens our own armed forces. Republicans are holding up promotions because they’d rather complain than govern. Shameless.
As of this week, Tuberville is holding up 250 promotions for general and flag officers that are normally approved on the Senate floor via unanimous consent, and the anger among Democrats has not dissipated. Sen. Michael Bennet (D-Colo.) on Tuesday made the 10th attempt by Senate Democrats to advance the military promotions, only to be blocked by the Alabama Republican.

Interviewer: But Didn’t you say on tape that you had Iran War Plans from General Miley?
