Sen. Tuberville's Holds on Military Promotions Finally Released by Senate

Alabama Republican Senator Tommy Tuberville has dropped his holds on 11 four-star level military promotions, which had been blocked since February over objections to Pentagon abortion policy. Tuberville's blockade had faced criticism from both Republicans and Democrats for damaging military readiness. The promotions include key senior leadership positions in various commands, and the backlog of promotions had grown to over 450 people during the delay. Tuberville's decision to drop the holds comes without any concessions on the military's abortion policies.
