Schumer tees up votes on top military nominations in face of Tuberville blockade

Schumer tees up votes on top military nominations in face of Tuberville blockade
Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) on Wednesday moved to tee up votes on three military nominations, including for Charles “C.Q.” Brown to become the next chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, marking Democrats’ first maneuver to get around Sen. Tommy Tuberville’s (R-Ala.) hold on more than 300 promotions. 


In an act of desperation, Sen. Tuberville is trying to use a procedural step to overcome his own holds

You read it right. His own holds.

He is trying to make himself the gatekeeper of which officers are promoted or languish

We can't allow this to continue. We're taking action. - Chuck Schumer

House conservatives sink vote on advancing Pentagon funding bill
Hardline conservatives in the House sank a procedural vote on a Pentagon funding bill Tuesday, a significant setback for Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.).
Five Republicans joined Democrats in voting against the rule for the appropriations bill, bringing the final vote to 212-214 — short of the majority support needed.

Schumer Calls McCarthy A Chaotic Pussy, But Not Quite In Those Words.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) stepped up his war of words Tuesday with House Republicans ahead of a potential government shutdown, accusing Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) of allowing “chaos” to reign in the lower chamber by letting a small group of conservatives drive much of the spending debate.  


















Damnit, everyone please stop trying to put a time limit on abortion because you think it sounds more reasonable.
Voluntary abortions happen early, as soon as a woman knows she's pregnant. Late term abortions are almost ALWAYS medical emergencies, & banning them means we die.
