  1. Hemant Mehta's critique of GOP's anti-Muslim rhetoric:
    Writer and activist Hemant Mehta is sounding the alarm over Senator Tuberville's recent demands to expel Muslims from the U.S. Mehta highlights that:
    These statements are a direct violation of the First Amendment.
    Labeling an entire global religion as a "cult" is a calculated move to strip away citizenship rights.

  3. This damn fool. He's the reason didn't come. He and his theocratic crusade against women's rights. He can go to hell. waff.com/2024/04/29/sen-tuberv

  4. "Military promotions were stymied by a former college football coach who could not consistently win the Egg Bowl. Texas, already racist and fascist and transphobic and misogynistic and corrupt, got even more so, thanks to its staggeringly corrupt attorney general. A hateful old billionaire bequeathed a billion and a half dollars to arguably the worst possible custodian."

  5. Chief #Alabama #goober Tommy #Tuberville said the #US has "the weakest #military that we've had in probably a year in my lifetime."

    He neglected to mention that he has personally prevented hundreds of officers from being promoted, and continues his #blockade on military #promotions to this day.

    I really don't like this this guy. At all.

    Under a sustained push by fellow #Republicans, #Tuberville dilates after nine months, saying he’s now "open" to unburdening his blockade of almost 400 military nominees in the Senate.

    Earlier, he had dug in on his protest of a Pentagon abortion policy for more than nine months.

    DefSec Lloyd #Austin said the delays are hurting readiness and have “unnecessarily weighed down our military families, who already give up so much to support those who serve.”

    We really need to do something about our government's single points of failure.

    The #HouseSpeaker "crisis", #Tuberville's sabotage, the #DebtCeiling, #SocialSecurity funding: all artificial problems holding hostage the good of the nation.

  10. Redditor's grandpa took this local image in 1960. Did you know this is where NASA started and it came out of the #USArmy? (But today, thanks to Tommy #Tuberville and his aggressive #misogynist #theocracy, #USSPACECOM will remain elsewhere.) #space

  11. The right has broken out their pearls in response to #MichaelHayden's remark, but is he wrong? #Tuberville is singlehandedly preventing more than 300 #military #promotions, putting our readiness at risk, and directly harming our #nationalSecurity because he thinks holding these promotions #hostage is going to result in the military caving to his hateful #ideology, and demand that pregnant #troops' lives be made as difficult as possible. I think Hayden is on to something.

  12. Reprehensible #Republican Goons trying to blame #Biden for #Gaza #Hamas invasion of #Israel are actually more to blame, having left the following important positions unconfirmed due to their toxic politics and attempts to destroy #Democracy in #America.

    • Navy chief

    • Air Force chief

    • 5th Fleet commander, deputy

    • CENTCOM #2 commander, #2 policy chief

    • AFCENT #2 commander

    • Amb to Lebanon

    #Ambassador to Israel

    • Amb to Egypt

    • Amb to Kuwait

    • Amb to Oman

  13. The #extremists, however, warned Joe #Biden last month that they would oppose additional #assistance to #Kyiv. The list of signatories to a Sept 21 letter to the OMB is a roster of #shame, incl’g the new America Firsters in the #Senate (#JDVance, #RandPaul, #MikeLee, & Tommy #Tuberville among them) & the #grotesque caucus-within-a-caucus of some of the most #unhinged & weirdest members of the #House, incl’g #ClayHiggins, #HarrietHageman, #AndyBiggs, #AnnaPaulinaLuna, &… #PaulGosar.

  14. The #Founders ' biggest mistake was worrying only about a monarchical tyrant, and assuming that #tradition, #honor, #enlightenment, #voters, and/or #shame would keep #dolts like #Tuberville from breaking the #government.

    Unfortunately, the #GOP #conservatives care nothing for tradition, their honor is performative, they equate enlightenment with "woke," they think shame is a way to attack their opponents, and their voters in our binary system keep returning them to DC.

  15. @legalquilts @BrianJopek What on Tuberville is not warped?

    He's a witless racist-extremist simpleton, who's even incapable of remembering & abiding by his own oath of office, not to mention the oath military servicemembers are committed to.

    Tuberville is convinced, that Nazis & other enemies of the Constitution shouldn't be removed from military service.

    "...
    WBHM reporter Richard Banks asked Tuberville to clarify his comments on white nationalists saying, "You mentioned the Biden administration trying to prevent white nationalists from being in the military. Do you believe they should allow white nationalists in the military?

    "Well, they call them that. I call them Americans," Tuberville said.
    ..."

  16. #America's least favorite #goober, Sen. Tommy #Tuberville, is completely #ignorant of what the #military is, what it does, how it operates, and what its #culture is all about. If you go outside right now and find a pile of #dogshit, that pile of dog shit knows more about our military than Sen. Tuberville. That's how ignorant he is. And when that ignorance combines with his epicly poor judgement, an unnecessary blockade on high-level #promotions is what results.

  17. @ZhiZhu Tuberville is sabotaging the nation's ability to properly execute national defense.

  18. Local opinion on Tuberville sinking SPACECOM for AL.

    "Tuberville’s manipulation of Senate rules to stonewall military promotions isn’t a novel, genius political tactic. He’s a toddler who found a pistol on the nightstand. And when the gun goes off, and somebody gets hurt, it’s not the kid that’s to blame. It’s the grownups who didn’t do anything to stop it from happening in the first place...We elected a day-trading, Florida-living, mediocre football coach to the U.S. Senate. The blame lands where the responsibility always was. We put the toddler in the room with the loose gun, and now we caught a bullet in the groin."

    Except around 40+ percent of us didn't do that. We voted against every shit Republican on the ballot.

  19. nbcnews.com/politics/congress/ #Tuberville Senate Democrats pressure Mitch McConnell to end Tuberville's 'reckless' military blockade

    A group of Democrats in the Senate Armed Services Committee urged the GOP leader in a letter to "take stronger action to resolve this situation."

  20. @fawfulfan The difference between Lloyd Austin & Tommy Tuberville:

    As an honorable person tasked to take responsibility for United States security & safety, SecDef Austin never complained about & refused to run through security clearance procedures.

    And SecDef Austin also wasn't in Trump's International D.C. hotel on the eve of the Jan 6 insurrection to prepare for the obstruction of an official proceeding.

    Tommy Tuberville was.

  21. The president’s comments come as hundreds of top #military positions are now w/o a #Senate-confirmed permanent officeholder, among them the chair of the #JointChiefs of Staff & the #commandant of the #MarineCorps. The vacancies, accumulating as top officials reach retirement age, have typically been nominated & confirmed by the Senate in slates.

  22. “The idea that we don’t have a chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the idea that we have all these promotions & we don’t know what’s going to happen, the idea that we’re injecting into fundamental foreign policy decisions what, in fact, is a domestic social debate is bizarre,” Pres #Biden said in response to a reporter’s question.

  23. Opinion | Space Command may be the price Alabama pays for Tuberville: Tuberville is the embodiment of everything wrong with Alabama politics and Alabama voters.

    I couldn't have said it any better.

  24. @velshi Exactly right. To Doug Jones' point, I sent a letter to #Tuberville telling him that people like me--AL residents who are military affiliated in a variety of ways--will not forget how he has damaged military readiness and AL overall with his attack on one of the largest employers in the state. He'll almost certainly single-handedly lose #USSPACECOM for AL as well. He is not only a deeply stupid man, he is demonstrably damaging national security for a bit of theo-fascist theater.
