Right on!

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.
#DougForAlabama
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.

HEADS UP FELLOW NURSES
I was a front line nurse during Covid.

Wearing trash bags, wet masks, NO adequate PPE to protect me.

I worked a 60 day stretch over the holidays because staff were sick or had died.

I pronounced more people dead than I can count.

Donald Trump didn't give a damn if we lived or died.

Now THIS?

So Trump is preparing to need overwhelming support for his desire to maintain power at the end of his term and that is why he is making nice to Mamdani? Since your guess is as good or better than mine, please go for it. What’s your take?

Breaking: The House voted unanimously, 426-0, to strip a provision in the funding bill that allowed senators to sue the government for $500K if their phone data was searched without their knowledge.

The provision was designed for GOP senators to sue over the Jack Smith investigation.

Alright, alright. I did not expect this at all. Happy to have been wrong about this not passing the House.

After listening to Trump’s claim that pollsters have told him he would beat a Washington-Lincoln ticket, the Speaker suggested Trump couldn’t even beat Nixon at this point.

Mike Johnson claims the Epstein files can’t be released unredacted because they contain intelligence-agency material that falls under national security.

✅ Reality check: Jeffrey Epstein was a civilian, with no government contracts, nothing he did should ever be considered classified.

Who is working on the Democrat Plan? Who is participating in a shadow cabinet? The past 10 months happened because MAGA had a plan. Our response has to be more than walking back their horrific Project 2025. Our response must be a new vision that provides opportunities, protections, hope. IMHO

I wonder if these grotesque, cheap looking signs posted around the White House are glorified memory care Post-It notes splattered around the grounds to help a demented old man know where he is?

I'm seeing people wonder why ICE is going after Charlotte.

ICE has been at war with Charlotte's sheriff ever since he won in 2018.

We'd covered this at Bolts back in the day; this quote is from that sheriff:
“When the 8 African American sheriffs took over the largest counties in North Carolina, it became a threat to the good ol’ boy system,” says the sheriff of Charlotte. These new sheriffs broke ties with ICE.

But GOP lawmakers cracked down this week, overbidding the governor’s veto to adopt this law:
North Carolina GOP Is Cracking Down on the Black Sheriffs Who Stood Up to ICE
Boosted by new supermajorities, Republicans are closing in on legislation to mandate more collaboration with ICE and preempt local policies hard-won by immigrants’ rights advocates.
