Tommy Tuberville announced Tuesday he's dropping most of his months-long holds on military officer nominations in the Senate, backing down from his vow to block them until the Pentagon changes an internal abortion policy.

The Alabama Republican plans to continue his holds on 12 four-star general nominees, he told reporters, but will release the rest effective immediately.

Translation: He knew he was about to lose all of them so he switched to those in the hopes he could still be a pain in the ass instead of just getting completely overruled.
