Summary
Senate leaders on Wednesday announced plans to fill three vacancies on the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Gen. Charles Q. Brown was confirmed as the new Joint Chiefs chairman Wednesday, while the next chief of the Army and commandant of the Marine Corps will be confirmed Thursday.

The deal comes as Sen. Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala, has blocked hundreds of military promotions in protest of the Pentagon's policy of covering travel costs for servicemembers seeking out-of-state abortions. His protest has left three military service branches without confirmed chiefs. The branches' acting leaders cannot issue long-term planning guidance.

The Democratic-controlled Senate can vote to approve the promotion of each candidate individually, but the process is time-intensive. Tuberville has argued that if Democrats truly worry the vacancies create a national security risk, they can hold individual confirmation votes. Tuberville will maintain his hold on the other 300 nominees, and Senate Democrats appear unlikely to individually approve the rest of the promotions.

Should tech platforms demonetize influencers credibly accused of sexual assault?

Context: YouTube demonetizes Russell Brand's channel.

HIGHLIGHTED COMMENTS

“ No - Depriving someone of their livelihood over accusations is insanely cruel and outright un-American. There is a reason for the presumption of innocence because it protects people against false accusations. Employers and tech platforms targeting people over accusations actually incentivizes making false accusations because it tells would-be accusers that you don’t need to have evidence or any actual knowledge of a crime to destroy someone’s life and by destroying their income you actually help disable them from defending themselves in court.”

“ Yes - YouTube demonetizes podcasters who cuss too much or share "extreme" political views as it doesn't represent YouTube...”

“ Unsure - Credibly. That is highly opinionized. Accusations are an easy way to destroy someone...”
