Republican Senator Tommy Tuberville has ended his months-long blockade of hundreds of US military promotions, which he had imposed in protest over the Pentagon's payment of abortion-related travel costs to service members. Tuberville's decision to lift the hold on some promotions came after nearly 10 months of obstruction. The Senate swiftly confirmed over 400 military promotions just hours after Tuberville partially lifted his blockade, but 11 four-star jobs remain in limbo. President Biden criticized Tuberville's actions, expressing hope that they would not be forgotten.
