For the first time in over 100 years, the Marine Corps won’t have a Senate-confirmed leader.
Why?
Because Senator Tommy Tuberville is blocking the nominee (along with hundreds of others) because of a Defense Department policy allowing women in the military access to abortion.

Drews, a member of the Leech Lake Band, developed Native Teaching Aids to teach the Ojibwe language, culture, history and imagery through games ranging from puzzles to board games.
Drews’ work helps to preserve and revitalize the Ojibwe language for future generations.
Tony Drews’ great-grandmother was forced into a boarding school where she was forbidden from speaking Ojibwe, her Indigenous language.
His father was beaten when he spoke Ojibwe in school.
Today, Drews creates games to keep the Ojibwe language alive.

The Red River Women's Clinic is a testament to our resiliency in the Midwest.
Republicans will keep trying to restrict our access to reproductive care, but we're still standing.
Minnesotans take care of one another – and that includes making sure women get the care they need.
Since reopening, they’ve seen a large rise in patient load. Minnesota is one of the few abortion havens in the Midwest, forcing women to travel hundreds of miles to get the care they need…
…and that’s just for those who can afford gas, childcare, time off, and a hotel.
For 25 years, Red River Women’s Clinic not only served as North Dakota's only abortion provider – but also many residents’ primary source of reproductive health care.
When Roe was overturned, they were forced to move across the river to Minnesota, where abortion remains legal.
Republicans do everything they can to avoid saying the quiet part out loud: they want a national abortion ban.
Minnesota is a safe haven for abortion in the Midwest – I visited a clinic on the border to hear what providers are seeing.
Here’s what I learned…
Solidarity ✊
Usually though, you can find me out in the community listening to and learning from Minnesotans – because I believe those closest to the issues have the best ideas.
If you’re a fan of uplifting working families (and occasionally calling out my colleagues), give me a follow!
Now, I represent the great state of Minnesota in the United States Senate.
You can find me sporting my trusty pair of Converse, hiking and birdwatching up on the North Shore of Lake Superior, or scoping out the best donut shop.
Ope, I guess I should introduce myself!
My name is Tina Smith and I believe politics is about one thing: improving people’s lives.
I started out as an organizer in Minnesota while raising our two kids, then as an executive for Planned Parenthood (I’m the only sitting Senator to have worked there)
