Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Arkansas, on Thursday suggested reviewing all general and flag officer promotions -- from O7 and up -- to assess nominees' opinions on critical race theory. It is unclear how much ability Cotton would have to follow through on his suggestion.

However, senators can place holds on promotion nominations, as Sen. Tammy Duckworth, D-Illinois, did en masse last summer.

April 1, 2014: Senate Majority PAC — a political action committee run by the former employees of Democratic Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, Al Gore, John Kerry, and the Clintons — has released a new ad that slams Rep. Tom Cotton. These are claims that have already been debunked by the fact checkers at The Washington Post — and they’ve now been debunked again. On “ending Medicare’s guarantee,” fact-checker Glenn Kessler writes this morning: "As we have noted before, Senate Majority PAC seems stuck in a time warp on this talking point, referring back to an older version of the House Republican plan to transform the health-care system for the elderly by offering beneficiaries help in buying private insurance, known as “premium support.” The plan, authored by Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.), was substantially changed in 2012 to include an option for seniors to keep the traditional fee-for-service Medicare plan if they preferred. So the “guarantee” is now there." In other words, this most recent ad is making claims based on an old version of the Ryan Plan that existed before Tom Cotton was even in Congress — a version of the Ryan Plan that was amended before Cotton ever stepped foot in the halls of the Capitol.
