If the GOP shuts down the government, that means 1.3 million servicemembers will go without pay. This after a Republican senator, Tommy Tuberville, has single-handedly put a hold on all top-level military promotions and appointments because he disagrees with the Pentagon’s policy of reimbursing travel expenses for members who must seek abortions out of state. Remind me again why the GOP thinks it’s pro-military.

@georgetakei

Tuberville doesn't care about abortion access.

His logjam on Senate confirmations is a grift. He is extorting concessions on behalf of his GOP billionaire donors.

He was unsuccessful at getting the FBI and Space Command relocated to Huntsville Alabama to increase the kind of graft that led to the littoral ship fiasco.

No federal agency should be relocated to a red state. It'll simply become another boondoggle.

All Republicans do is donor maintenance.

Tommy Tuberville Furious as Joe Biden Strips Alabama of Space Command

Tuberville has been blocking hundreds of military promotions to protest the Pentagon's abortion policies.

I've gotta believe some to Tuberville's donor money arrives in Rubles.

Russia couldn't ask for a better assault on the US military command structure.
