GOP Senator Tommy Tuberville, who has blocked over 300 military promotions in protest of the Pentagon's decision to reimburse service members for out-of-state abortion care, stated on a podcast that he doesn't care if anyone gets promoted. Tuberville has criticized the policy and vowed to use his power to stymie military nominations and promotions.
