1/ To celebrate Memorial Day, Sen Tommy Tuberville, who actually identifies as a Coach, will continue to block ALL military promotions because the DOD pays travel expenses for some enlisted women who live in states that restrict abortions.
2/ Tuberville’s abuse of this Senatorial “prerogative” is not only disruptive to the military families who need to plan their relocations, but it also threatens national security. This from a guy who doesn’t know what the three branches of government are. usatoday.com/story/news/pol…
3/ So one coach, I mean “Senator,” who has defended White Nationalists as “Americans,” has the power to fvck with our fighting forces because he wants to force military women stationed in regressive states to give birth.
4/ A lone depraved dude has the ability to hold up military promotions because he wants to force women to give birth, despite the huge number of sexual assaults in the armed forces. In 2018, the DOD reported there were 20,500 members sexually assaulted!
5/ Tuberville has been a threat to national security since he was elected. Trump asked him DURING the insurrection to hold up election certification. Tuberville obliged, objecting to AZ’s results and later voting not to convict in TFG’s 2nd Impeachment. independent.co.uk/news/world/ame…
6/ So if anybody wants to know what the GOP really thinks of our military members this Memorial Day, look no further than an ignorant, white-supremacist and sedition-supporting football coach holding national security hostage for his own “moral” and political gain. END.

#SOTU 🧵 1/ This was an amazing speech, period. Many will speak to the iconic moments, such as when Biden turned the tables on the GOP and made them commit to protecting SS and Medicare, but my focus here will be on the many things Dems stood for while McCarthy remained seated…
2/ I’m sure I didn’t catch every time McCarthy declined to stand, but the list was long, so this should more than capture at least the general flavor:
- Job Creation
- Preserving democracy
- Bipartisan bills
- Building a strong middle class
- 50-year low unemployment
3/ What Dems stand for while McCarthy sits:
- Creating American Jobs
- Americans starting new businesses
- Bipartisan chips and science act
- Supply chains beginning in America
- Great-paying manufacturing jobs in Ohio (you’re welcome Gym)
- Bipartisan infrastructure
