Tommy Tuberville’s Republican colleagues had finally had it with him.
For months, the Alabama senator and former college football coach has blocked the confirmation of hundreds of senior military officers because he’s mad about a Pentagon policy that ensures soldiers have abortion access.
The group of anti-abortion Republicans had worked with him since February to try to find a solution. They’d flattered his ego. They’d mostly defended him in public as his game of chicken stretched nine months, punishing hundreds of senior service members who have...

Nine years ago in Blue Valley, a young boy named Rick (Cameron Gellman) is woken up in the middle of the night by his parents, Rex and Wendi, and told they have to leave and Rick’s uncle, Matt (Adam Aalderks), will be watching him for the foreseeable future. We aren’t told what the emergency is that is causing Rick’s parents to suddenly leave, but it’s severe enough that Rex sends a special package, including his private journal, to Pat Dugan.
Upon arrival, Wendi’s brother Matt isn’t happy that he has to take over as the parent to Rick but Wendi, tells him that he is there only choice and they need him. I guess the $50,000 that Rex and Wendi leaves Matt helps as well.
