BREAKING: A group of military spouses hand-deliver a petition to Trumper Senator Tommy Tuberville signed by 500 fellow military spouses accusing him of being “unpatriotic” and of using military members as “pawns” to “wage a political battle.”
But it gets WORSE for Tuberville…
Furious over Tuberville holding up the nominations of hundreds of military leaders, the spouses didn’t hold back in their blistering petition, which reads:
“Let us be clear: Senator Tuberville is playing politics with our military. Senator Tuberville disagrees with the Department of Defense’s benefits package for active duty servicemembers and their families. As military families know all too well, service members and dependents do not choose where they live.
This is why the Department of Defense guarantees a health care package that provides paid time off and reimburses travel costs for comprehensive health services that a servicemember or dependent cannot access at certain duty stations. If a Senator disagrees with DoD health care policy, they should settle it through normal legislative or administrative channels. It is highly inappropriate and unpatriotic to wage a political battle by using military service members as pawns.”
Very well said. You know that you have screwed up royally when so many military spouses are calling you out by name — and even took the time to hand-deliver their petition to you.
Please retweet and ❤️ to thank the military spouses for setting Trumper Senator Tommy Tuberville straight — and consider joining the growing exodus to Tribel, a “woke” new Twitter competitor that banned Trump for life and is exploding in popularity because Elon Musk banned Tribel’s Twitter account — but he forgot to ban this link to download the new Tribel app: https://t.co/HnJzSKj4Hp
What a week for Councilmember @kenyanmcduffie and DC:
✅ Bars open as USWNT kicks off its journey for a 5th championship: https://t.co/M28uKaMaw1
✅ Demolition starts on Dave Thomas Circle: https://t.co/ZwGq3hEdt5
✅ Commanders’ new ownership approved: https://t.co/2FNGNi53T7
I joined neighbors and city leaders this morning to kick off demolition at the “Dave Thomas Circle” Wendy’s. I am looking forward to the long-overdue transformation of the dangerous and dysfunctional Florida Ave & New York Ave NE interchange.
We want to make sure that petty arguments don't turn into funerals, and we need legislation that will drive down crime in DC.
That is why I support @CMBrookePinto's emergency crime bills ➡️ https://t.co/l7aMZsrqRG

.@Jamie_Raskin continues to be a champion for Maryland and for democracy. I deeply appreciate the work he has done and continues to do on behalf of this state and our country.
Happy Fourth of July! Let’s use today to reflect on the many freedoms we enjoy, while also recognizing the vital work we must do to ensure those freedoms are shared as widely & as fully as our country has promised since its founding.
"President Biden is smeared 24 hours a day, seven days a week by his MAGA foes as senile, unfit, incompetent and corrupt. It has taken an enormous toll, and as a general proposition, has been allowed to pass without rebuttal or pushback."
The time is now for Team Biden to forcefully and effectively respond to these attacks: https://t.co/vPUyXQBivH
Today I'm starting a two-week tour of 21 DCPS schools and rec centers in every DC Ward alongside @DCDGS, @dcpublicschools, @DCDPR, @DCSBOE, Councilmembers, and ANCs.
We will be working to identify systemic changes needed to improve the way DC maintains and repairs its buildings.
We know how important it is to keep our children and youth engaged throughout the summer months.
That's why @DCDPR offers programs all summer long. Register your child for free weekly Hip Hop Dance Classes:

Yesterday, I attended a gathering on civic engagement & policy, where I spoke about Juneteenth, civil rights, & the importance of statehood.
Thank you, @SenatorHick and @SenatorBennet for having me, & for listening to a local’s perspective on why DC residents deserve statehood.
Donald Trump’s former WH chief of staff, John Kelly, on his former boss:
“He’s scared shitless,”
This is the way he compensates for that. He gives people the appearance he doesn’t care by doing this. For the first time in his life, it looks like he’s being held accountable. Up until this point in his life, it’s like, I’m not going to pay you, take me to court. He’s never been held accountable before.”
Thank you @TheTRIGGERProj for inviting me to join the End Gun Violence Citywide Festival & present a resolution I intro'd to declare June Gun Violence Awareness Month.
Our city must continue to invest in & support orgs doing vital work to make our city safer. #endgunviolence
.@SRuhle on President Biden's address on the #DebtCeiling deal: "I would say the most important thing that he said was not every side got what they wanted, but America got what it needed." #TheReidOut
It’s not their flag or his - it’s our flag. We're making it clear that it doesn’t belong to Trump or the MAGA movement. That’s why we’re starting our #TakeBackTheFlag campaign. Join us and tell us what the flag means to YOU at 💻 [email protected]
