Tuberville Hold Scrambles Marines’ Plans

· Leave a Comment

“The Marine Corps could be without a Senate-confirmed leader in less than a month, thanks to a Republican senator’s blockade of hundreds of senior military promotions,” Politico reports.

“In a highly unusual move, Commandant Gen. David Berger sent out invitations to a ‘relinquishment of office ceremony’ scheduled for July 10. Rather than passing the torch to a new commandant, Gen. Eric Smith, Biden’s nominee to replace Berger, will instead lead the Corps on a temporary basis.”

Same Election. Different Stories.

Election Day brings a flood of political news — and which sources you follow can shape the story you see.

That's why I appreciate what Ground News does. It shows how the same story is covered across the political spectrum — and highlights important stories that one side may be ignoring entirely.

And when the votes are counted and everyone starts debating what they mean, it's a useful way to get a broader view.
