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: Israeli Strike Damages Iranian Air Defense System Without Detection, Officials Say
- An Israeli airstrike on Iran on Friday damaged an air defense system, according to Western and Iranian officials, and appeared calculated to deliver a message that Israel could bypass Iran’s defensive systems undetected and paralyze them.
- The strike damaged a defensive battery near Natanz, a city in central Iran that is critical to the country’s nuclear weapons program, according to the officials.
- The relatively limited scope of Israel’s strike and the muted response from Iranian officials, however, seem to have eased tensions.
- It was confirmed that Israel had deployed aerial drones and at least one missile fired from a warplane, as stated by three Western and two Iranian officials.

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.
