Months after he started, they are getting around to doing the smallest possible action they can take. What bravery!

Remember, the only reason Tuberville is able to do this is because 49 other Republican senators are complicit in enabling it.
I really try to avoid bigotry, but with Republicans, I think it's warranted.
They all support garbage like Tumorville. I can tell this by the way they literally support garbage like Tumerville, Santos, barfly Barbie, EmptyGreen, etc.
In fact, if they weren't shiteating asshats, they wouldn't be Republicans.
We'll see. As an Alabamian, Tuberville is an embarrassment to me. Imagine holding workers who had nothing to do with a policy hostage and thinking you are doing a good thing. Tuberville is a selfish monster and too dumb to see how he is hurting the military and people's military careers. Shame.
He would be in a close race for dumbest congressman if Louis Gohmert were still in office. That guy asked the Forest Service if they could change the moon's orbit to prevent forest fires or something
Is he the one that was worried Midway Island would flip over if they expanded the military base?
I think so
Tuberville is a selfish monster and too dumb to see how he is hurting the military and people's military careers.
He doesn't care about that. The point is to hold these spots open until Trump can fill them. He is quite literally working for #Putin at this point.
There is no way they will be able to hold them for a year.
Yea and there was no way Trump would win. No way Mitch would hold up supreme court appointments. No way that'd Trump have lasting damage...
Yea, no, fuck that attitude and anyone who holds it. You over-optimistic fucks have been proven wrong EVERY time throughout history. There's a reason MLK Jr talked so much about how evil complacency is.
FOOTBALL! BOOM!
I wish i could filter out headlines describing actions politicians are taking that arent actual legal actions. There is no legislative process called rolling. Its news when its an indictment, or subpoena, or censure. Im tired of hearing how blasted a wealthy politician is for committing crimes, but isnt actually facing a single tangible consequence.
To be fair, it's "The Hill" which no one ever heard of before Trump showed up and started shitting everywhere he went. They aren't afraid to set up a little clickbait every single day.
I'll believe it when I see it
Agreed, this feels like more theater. These holds make so much sense when you put it in the larger context of what the moron movement is setting itself up for.
The Heritage Foundation, authors of Project 2025, love this, because it's causing power vacuums in the military that they're more than happy to...ahem..."recommend" certain people to fill.
