Tuberville Eases Blanket Blockade on Military Promotions, Will Still Target 'Woke' Officers
- Sen. Tuberville signaled he will end his blanket blockade of military promotions, instead blocking just "woke" officers
- His move came as senators, including Republicans, were ready to change rules to stop his unprecedented blockade
- At one point, Tuberville's holds caused the Army, Navy, and Marines to lack top leaders
- Republican Senators Sullivan and Ernst recently protested Tuberville's actions
- Schumer worried about the precedent of treating military promotions like political/judicial nominations
