‘UNTIL HELL FREEZES OVER’: Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) took to the Senate floor yesterday to defend his hold on more than 160 Pentagon nominees, including two civilians and 158 three and four-star officers who are waiting to take over new command assignments, in protest of the Pentagon’s abortion travel policy.

“I will stay here until hell freezes over. I am not going to be intimidated by a campaign of selective outrage,” Tuberville said in his 10-minute floor speech, insisting his action was a last resort. “I gave the Pentagon fair warning … This was the Biden administration’s choice. I’m keeping my word.”
