#Trump also named Alabama GOP Sen #TommyTuberville, founder of conservative network Turning Point USA #CharlieKirk, & fmr dpty #NationalSecurity adviser Dina Powell, among others, to the Air Force’s board of visitors.

Trump confirmed MT Sen Tim Sheehy; fmr WH PressSec #SeanSpicer; fmr WH physician Rep #RonnyJackson (R-TX); & Trump’s body man #WaltNauta, who was federally indicted w/Trump in the #ClassifiedDocuments case, will sit on the Naval Academy’s board of visitors.

THERE'S A REASON Sen #TommyTuberville is known as "the dumbest man in the U.S. Senate."

He went on Fox's "Kudlow" and declared the #ConvictedFelon "is not gonna pick somebody who's a criminal" to fill his Administration moments before #DonTheCon picked #ConvictedFelon #CharlesKushner to be his Ambassador to France, and #ConvictedFelon Peter Navarro to be "Trade Advisor".

This was his defense of T**** nominating #Gaetz & #Hegseth to fill top positions in his #cabinet. msnbc.com/rachel-maddow/watch/

…The situation w/Clark, 58, bears similarities to an extended freeze that #TommyTuberville placed on HUNDREDS of #military promotions last year, in a dispute over the #Pentagon’s rarely used policy of providing travel reimbursement to personnel who seek an #abortion outside of the state where they are stationed. That stalemate exasperated Pentagon ofcls & gummed up the military’s personnel system for months. Tuberville eventually backed down after his #Republican colleagues decried the tactic.

LTG Ronald P. Clark was approved for promotion to #FourStarGeneral & to serve as the #commander of all US #Army forces in the #Pacific after a “detailed discussion” w/the senator a spox for Tuberville said Wed.
#TommyTuberville had placed the hold on Clark’s promotion while questioning whether the general had a role in the #Pentagon’s secrecy when #LloydAustin was hospitalized in intensive care early this year w/complications from prostate cancer surgery.

About damn time, #TommyTuberville is a #threat to #NationalSecurity.

Sen #Tuberville quietly ended his #blockade on the promotion of a senior #military aide to #Defense Sec #LloydAustin after the #Alabama #Republican, under pressure from colleagues, met privately w/the aide on Tues.

[Tuberville has a history of #AbuseOfPower blocking multiple appointments & military promotions because he didn’t want female service members to be able to receive #ReproductiveHealthcare.]

The Washington Post · Tuberville ends hold on promotion of Austin aide after private meetingBy Dan Lamothe

Carpetbagging Coach #FoghornLeghorn continues his assault on America's #military readiness. This time, he's holding up a key promotion because of a bullshit story he himself invented to justify stopping the promotion. At some point, this clownish political novice got the idea that the way to be a good Senator is to harm our military. And it's been his go-to move ever since.

The Independent · Senator Tommy Tuberville blocks promotion of top military commander over defense secretary’s secret hospitalizationBy Alex Woodward

This goddammed #goober needs to shut his pie hole about the #military and our #veterans. He singlehandedly held up critical #promotions to grandstand about #abortion; an issue he doesn't understand. He's also a #carpetbagger who doesn't even live in the state he represents. There are few people who need to sit the fuck down more than #TommyTuberville.
