Austin confronts GOP senator for blocking military nominations over abortion policy
abcnews.go.com/Politics/austin-confronts-gop-senator-blocking-military-nominations-abortion/story
Quick Glance: Tuberville's hold on military nominees over Biden administration abortion policy is "reckless," according to Schumer.
- "Right now, 160 military promotions – these are not political -- are on hold because the senior senator from Alabama is holding them up because he can't get his way on blocking 160,000 women within the military from receiving healthcare," Schumer said on the Senate floor on Monday.
- "The senator from Alabama's hold on hundreds of routine military promotions is reckless, damages the readiness of our military and puts American security in jeopardy," the Senate majority leader said.
- If every elected official blocked military nominations because they disagreed with the policies, "our military would simply grind to a halt." Schumer said.

Quick Glance: Pentagon to provide funding and assistance to troops seeking abortions
- The military will also strengthen privacy safeguards for anyone seeking medical attention.
- The new military policy establishes criteria that prevent local commanders from influencing whether service members receive care or face a culture in which they or their dependents do not come forward for fear of penalties.
- The new guidelines also require each military base to publicly display what reproductive health care support is available for service members and their dependents, extend the time frame for reporting a pregnancy to commanders to 20 weeks, and provide additional safeguards for defense health care providers who provide abortion services.

Quick Glance: Summer Lee Secures Key Victory in Pennsylvania Primary
- Pennsylvania congresswoman Summer Lee successfully navigated a primary challenge on Tuesday, securing progressives one of their most crucial wins of this election cycle while preparing for an influx of pro-Israel funding targeting candidates supportive of a ceasefire.
- During the primaries, Lee emerged victorious against local council member Bhavini Patel, who had raised concerns about the stance of the progressive “Squad” member on the Gaza ceasefire.
- The resonance of this argument was evident among many of Lee’s supporters and local Democratic figures. The Allegheny County Democratic party formally endorsed Lee in February, marking their support for her for the first time after having backed her opponent in the 2022 primaries.
- Despite the pro-Israel lobby staying out of the picture, a Super Pac intervened in Lee’s primary to bolster Patel’s campaign. The Moderate Pac, with a mission to back centrist Democrats and significant funding from Republican megadonor Jeffrey Yass, allocated over $600,000 to support Patel.
