Elon Musk’s DOGE was a disaster. Now, Tuberville wants to bring that same approach to Alabama state government. That would mean cutting jobs, programs he doesn’t like, and threatening the retirement security of our teachers and state employees. Pay attention, folks.

Charging the Southern Poverty Law Center with a federal crime for paying informants to help dismantle hate groups is an outrageous weaponization of the Dept of Justice and the FBI. As someone who has been a prosecutor and has taken on the Klan I can tell you that use of paid informants is a common tactic used to dismantle drug cartels, the mob and extremist groups on both the right and the left. It is clear that all civil rights organizations are in the cross hairs of this Administration and that folks, puts everyone at risk.

What happens if no candidate for President gets the magic 270 Electoral College votes to get elected? Well if that happens then the House of Representatives, not voters or electors, elects your next President. That’s called a “contingent election.” Here’s how that works:

Tommy Tuberville is not from Alabama, doesn’t live in Alabama and clearly does not understand folks in Alabama. That is especially true of the people who make North Alabama home. Folks who have moved into North Alabama are building an amazing economy and quality of life for the whole region. But to hear Tommy, they are socialists and communists that need to be “educated.” These folks don’t need to be “educated,” they deserve our thanks and respect. And they deserve a governor who will give them both.

A sitting president doesn’t go to a safe state a month before an election. Alabama is in play, folks.

January 6, 2021 was a double gut punch for me. First, I get the call early that morning that I would not be the next AG of the United States. Then, I saw what you saw as the attack on the Capitol unfolded. We can never forget what we saw that day. We cannot allow anyone to rewrite the history of that day.” #January 6th

Canada is the biggest importer of Alabama goods and Trump’s trade war with Canada is gonna hurt Alabama workers. But Tommy Tuberville just takes a knee any time Trump speaks. What kind of “coach” takes a knee when your team is losing! That’s not Alabama leadership folks!

So maybe “Coach” doesn’t know what Memorial Day is and would rather give criminals who beat police and attacked the US Capitol a billion dollars of your hard earned money. Most might say this is unbelievable, but then again most should know where his loyalties really lie - and it is not with the people of Alabama.

Look who dropped by yesterday morning as we were moving into our Southside B’ham HQ. Stacey Abrams reminded us that we have to move so much more in this election. We have to move hearts and minds and importantly souls to the polls. Thank you Stacey for your great work and for your endorsement of our campaign to change Alabama.

Trump’s not coming to Mobile to campaign for Tommy. That’s just an afterthought. Pretty clear that his real reason is to campaign for another personal vanity project to have the new Mobile Bay Bridge that Tuberville voted against, named after him. At least Trump didn’t divert bridge funds for self promo TV ads.

In 1963 AL Gov. George Wallace proclaimed “Segregation today, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever.” Now, 61 years later the Alabama legislature is still heeding his call, this time with legislation to prohibit DEI programs and teaching “divisive concepts.” But these students don’t want any part of it and showed up at the Statehouse to turn Wallace’s words around. Turn up the volume to hear what a little #GoodTrouble sounds like.

I know folks are frustrated with Dems responses right now. Here’s my solution - get the hell out of DC and hold some hearings. I love town halls but we need to focus on people right now. Have folks come testify about how these cuts are affecting them. Make it real.
