TL;DR Summary

President Biden has canceled former President Trump's order to move the United States Space Command headquarters to Alabama, a decision that has sparked backlash from Republicans who accuse him of acting out of political spite. The cancellation comes as Senator Tommy Tuberville of Alabama has been blocking military promotions to protest a Pentagon policy on abortion access.

Republicans have criticized the decision as patronage politics and promised retribution, while some Colorado Republicans have supported the decision, citing practicality and existing infrastructure.
