Alabama finally has someone ready to fight for the Alabama instead of letting Tuberville, a non-resident drifter, run his mouth from Florida.
Doug is stepping in with actual roots, actual plans, and an actual stake in the future of the state.

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.

The government is shut down because Trump and the Republicans are hellbent on taking health care away from you.
And they won’t even come to the table to talk to us about it.

Honestly so puzzled at how the Dems think *delaying* insurance cuts to after the midterms is good politics for them.
This is not the safe course, it's a reckless gamble that the party will magically rebound from record unfavorable polling numbers by quietly helping Republicans fund their agenda and avoid a major electoral problem until just after the midterms.

The problem: Mortgages signed by the Paxtons contained inaccurate statements declaring that each of those three houses was their primary residence, enabling the now-estranged couple to improperly lock in low interest rates, according to an Associated Press review of public records.
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, a Senate hopeful, claimed 3 homes as his primary residence
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and his wife, Angela, are longtime owners of a $1.5 million home in a Dallas suburb. In 2015, they snapped up a second house in Austin.

Warren: "Powell himself said he would've lowered interest rates in February but for the fact of Trump's tariff chaos. So that means that if you have credit cards, car loans, you've been paying more for 6 months now because of one human being -- Donald Trump, and the chaos he causes."

In Tommy Tuberville's home state of Alabama, 23% of all personal income comes from transfer payments from the federal government.
Alabama is the tenth most dependent on federal funding, getting $1.80 in spending back for every $1 its citizens pay in taxes.
