U.S. Senator Tommy Tuberville‘s holds on more than 300 military promotions is creating an “unsafe” situation and “undermining” U.S. military readiness, according to the Secretary of Defense, with one retired U.S. Air Force Colonel stepping up to call the Alabama Republican lawmaker a “traitor.”

Sen. Tuberville has been blocking every military promotion requiring Senate confirmation since February, an act that affects not only those officers but their families, and those who would be promoted to fill their role, along with their families. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin lamented on Monday that the U.S. now faces the “unprecedented” situation of not having Senate-confirmed leaders atop three military service branches: Army, Navy, and Marines.

The Alabama Senator claims his reason for blocking the promotions is a response to the Pentagon’s policy of reimbursing service members who need to travel out of state to obtain abortion services. That policy was put in place after the U.S. Supreme Court struck down Roe v. Wade, and some Republican-led states began enacting abortion bans.

Retired U.S. Air Force Colonel Moe Davis is an outspoken attorney and former administrative law judge known for resigning as the Chief Prosecutor at Guantanamo Bay over his opposition to waterboarded prisoners being charged – waterboarding is considered torture by Davis and many authorities, and is also considered illegal and a possible war crime.

On Monday Col. Davis declared, “Thanks to Tommy ‘Tantrum’ Tuberville, the Army, Navy & Marine Corps do not have confirmed leaders and hundreds of other senior military officers are in limbo. If you think the @GOP gives a rat’s ass about America’s military and nat’l security, you’re a special kind of stupid.”

He also nicknamed Sen. Tiberville “Traitor Tubbs.”

“Because of @SenTuberville, the Army, Navy & Marine Corps lack leaders, so who bankrolls Traitor Tubbs?” he asked. Davis answered his own question, listing companies including Boeing, Lockheed Martin, FedEx, John Deere, TMobile, CSX, and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, among others.

Davis slammed Lockheed Martin in particular.

.@LockheedMartin says they are “Ensuring Those We Serve Always Stay Ahead of Ready!” Really? @SenTuberville is “Ensuring Those Who Serve Are Leaderless and NOT Ready” and you helped bankroll him. https://t.co/r3ShmfahIF

“It’s a disgrace that defense contractors and those who love to be seen waving the flag and talking about how they support the troops bankroll the lone senator who is single-handedly kneecapping America’s military. They talk the talk, but they don’t walk the walk,” he wrote.

He widened his attack to include other top military contractors, and included an image of the wall of photos of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, now missing three top leaders.

And defense contractors like @LockheedMartin, @Boeing, @BAESystemsInc and @L3HarrisTech poured money into his coffers and helped put @SenTuberville in a position where he can do harm to America’s military! https://t.co/d0b2Ppbgpk

A document appearing to be a list of charges against Donald Trump was posted to the Fulton County court website Monday afternoon, and quickly removed, but not before Reuters was able to grab a copy, report on its contents, and republish it.

It is unclear why the document, which Reuters has posted here, was published and removed, but reporters at the courthouse say District Attorney Fani Willis’ office says there is not indictment yet.

The document is not definitive and may or may not be the actual list of charges the grand jury will bring. It is possible the grand jury will not indict Trump at all, or might indict on other charges.

But listed among the charges on the document are “Violation Of The Georgia RICO (Racketeer Influenced And Corrupt Organizations) Act,” which is listed as a “Serious Felony.” The remaining charges on the document are all listed as felonies, some of which include: “Solicitation of Violation of Oath by Public Officer,” “Conspiracy To Commit Impersonating a Public Officer,” “Conspiracy To Commit Forgery in the First Degree,” “Conspiracy To Commit False Statements and Writings,” “Conspiracy To Commit Filing False Documents,” “Conspiracy To Commit Forgery in the First Degree,” “Conspiracy To Commit False Statements and Writings,” among others.

One witness, who was expected to testify before the grand jury on Tuesday, announced on social media it appeared the timetable has been escalated.

“Change of plans. I’m going to court today. They’re moving faster than they thought,” wrote George Chidi.

Former U.S. Dept. of Defense Special Counsel Ryan Goodman responded, saying, “I wonder if the mistaken entry on the docket has expedited the Fulton County DA’s plans.”

Top Trump U.S. Rep. Matt Gaetz, who appeared to be jockeying to be named Trump’s Attorney General last week if the ex-president is re-elected, expressed outrage.

“This is OUTRAGEOUS government conduct and is a very legitimate basis to deem the entire Grand Jury process tainted & corrupted,” he baselessly claimed. “MOTION TO DISMISS!!!”

National security attorney Brad Moss says, “Someone messed up and posted a filing earlier, apparently. That person might very well find themselves without a job this evening.”

U.S. Rep. Jared Moskowitz (D-FL) is criticizing Republicans in the House and Senate over what he suggests is their “hypocrisy” after Attorney General Merrick Garland elevated David Weiss on Friday. Weiss is the Trump-appointed U.S. Attorney who was granted special counsel status to continue his investigation into Hunter Biden after Republicans specifically asked the Attorney General to do so.

“93 House Republicans last year called for Trump appointee David Weiss to be named special counsel. Now that he has been, they’re labeling their own recommendations as ‘weaponization,'” Moscowitz said on social media, while suggesting they are taking orders from Donald Trump: “The hypocrisy is endless, but they must’ve received new instructions beamed from Truth Social.”

Rep. Moskowitz on MSNBC also called out by name U.S. Senators Lindsey Graham, Ted Cruz, Chuck Grassley, Marsha Blackburn, and Marco Rubio, as part of the 30-plus senators who sent a letter asking specifically for Weiss to be granted special counsel status.

Moskowitz also slammed the “90-plus House Republicans” who he says “sent a letter saying they wanted David Weiss to be appointed special prosecutor, including, you know, most of the Freedom Caucus to ask for that.”

He accused Republicans of having “a little amnesia. That’s what happens today in politics. They think that the viewers don’t have any memory.”

And he exposed Republicans for trying to link Hunter Biden to President Joe Biden, adding, “there’s not a single shred of evidence that goes to Joe Biden.”

“If you listen to the Republican language, you can see it, that’s why they never say ‘Joe Biden’ in any of these committee hearings, or in fact, or any of the tweets that the committee’s put out. They say ‘the Biden family’ or they say ‘the Biden’s,’ you know, with an apostrophe ‘s’ you know, trying to link hunter to Joe.”
