I’d rather see Doug back in the senate, but Alabama would be smart to put Doug back in either office
So I’ve made it official folks: I’ve filed the paperwork to run for Governor of Alabama. It’s time to remind this state of who we are and what we can accomplish together.

This is outrageous. Nursing is a trusted, valued profession and we have a shortage. Making it harder and more expensive to become a nurse is bananas. www.kktv.com/2025/11/21/n...
Nursing is no longer considered a ‘professional degree’ by Trump administration under new bill
Nursing has been excluded as a “professional degree” by the Trump administration as the Department of Education prepares to make massive cuts to providing student loans.

Lessons and hope from history. 👇
Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.
Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

Too often, governments operate on inertia, with public servants expected to ask “how have we always done things?” rather than being given the chance to ask “what’s the best way to get things done?” Here's my commitment to making government work for all Coloradans.

@kylec.bsky.social thoughts?
Important to understand this. There's a reasonable chance that your Dem Senator who voted against it and is acting mad now was in on the play. It's the same reason why they scheduled the surrender for AFTER the election this week. They didn't want people pissed at Dems right before an election.
The caucus meeting was just to orchestrate who would fall on the sword but not be up for a vote in 2026.

It doesn't actually matter if Chuck Schumer votes for this or not.
If he can't keep his caucus unified to protect healthcare for over 10 million Americans, he should resign as leader.
