"Biden Keeps US Space Command in Colorado, Snubbing Alabama Amid Feud"

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. The Pentagon cited military readiness as the reason for the cancellation, with the head of Space Command arguing that moving the headquarters would harm readiness in the space domain. Republicans have criticized the decision as patronage politics and promised retribution, while some Colorado Republicans have supported the decision, citing practicality and existing infrastructure.
