One of my senators (Senator Tubberville) is attempting to force his religious beliefs onto the military. Specifically he seems to have a problem with the military supporting family planning. To do that he has been holding up confirmations of military officers. As a result of his actions, we have lost out on a new military base, our nation’s national security has been put at risk and he has made Alabama an even bigger laughingstock than it already was.
As you may have guessed, I am not a fan of his.
In the very competitive field of dumbest legislators, Tubberville is one of the clear favorites.
If it was just national senators I'd agree, but legislators is an awfully broad field.
Not just religious beliefs but also Tuberville's defense of white supremacy, this isn't just about service members access to abortions, it's also about how the Biden administration and the military leadership want to purge our armed forces of white supremacists and Nazis, and the US armed forces have needed that purge for a long time now.
