Tommy Tuberville says he goes back to Auburn for ball games three or four times a year — then remembers he “lives” there.

If U.S. Senators Katie Britt and Tommy Tuberville didn't understand it, how were voters supposed to?

Britt is not alone in her confusion. Now Tuberville says he has doubts which election is the real one. If US Senators don’t know which one counts, how are voters supposed to? www.al.com/news/2026/05...

NAACP puts out a call to Sam “Bam” Cunningham SEC states that redraw district maps. Don't laugh. If you don't live in the South, you don't know what this means. If successful, it hits these states where it hurts, where NIL was already undercutting SEC football dominance.

Sen. Katie Britt is telling Alabama Republicans to vote today in a primary her party and state government have fought (thus far successfully) to render meaningless. Very much trying to make sense of this one.

These were your tax dollars. Now they’re a $1.8 billion slush fund to go with the Billion Dollar Ballroom.

Chief Justice Roberts says the court isn't political. This week, six justices "read" 107 pages of legal briefing in 38 minutes and let Alabama gerrymander its congressional map mid-election. The stopwatch says otherwise.

Are we supposed to believe SCOTUS read 107 pages — 26,000 words — conferred, voted and wrote a dissent in half an hour? The fix was already in. www.al.com/news/2026/05...

Want to show your friends how far the GOP has backslid on voting rights? Come find me on TikTok and I’ll show you how to do it with just one picture. www.tiktok.com/t/ZTkcCs5Xy/

What do IVF and voting rights have in common? Let me explain Alabama-style Somebody Stop Me Politics. My column 👉 www.al.com/opinion/2026...

Alabama House speaker said he hopes SCOTUS “will overturn Amendment 14,” the one that made Black people citizens and guaranteed equal protection under law. It wasn’t just a slip. Today’s newsletter. 👉 link.al.com/public/45636...

Only one of two things is possible: Either the acting AG lied or he didn’t know what he was talking about and made stuff up.

Alabama officials are done pretending. 11 hours. That’s all it took from when SCOTUS gutted the Voting Rights Act until Alabama officials began doing what should have been expected.

America’s top prosecutor (promotion pending) said the Southern Poverty Law Center never shared intelligence it gathered from informants with law enforcement. Then the SPLC brought the receipts.  These folks would be so much more dangerous if they weren’t so bad at this.

Let's dispense with the he-said/she-said silliness and talk about what's really going on here. This is a dumb case brought by dumb people, and it promises the same result we've seen in so many others like it. www.al.com/news/2026/04...

Southern Poverty Law Center says it is under a federal investigation by DOJ for using paid informants to infiltrate hate groups in the US. www.splcenter.org/beacon-hope-...

I grew up Southern Baptist in rural Alabama. What I was 16, I read the Bible. And then I started to wonder whether anybody else had. Alabama just mandated the Ten Commandments in public schools. Then the president broke the first one on Truth Social. You don’t have to be part of that.

Someone went full David Koresh last night, huh?

America will tolerate a lot of things, but not a loser.

How far we’ve backslid in just two clips. “Islam is peace” — George W. Bush, six days after 9/11. “Do we want to wait until we have to fight them in the streets or do we want to kick them out now?” — Tommy Tuberville, 2026.

RALLY ‘ROUND THE BALLROOM! “From LBJ’s vast White House carpet project ‒ ‘Shag the People’s House’ ‒ during Vietnam to Bush’s Iraq-War-era construction of the Cheney Hot Tub Pavilion, Americans have never failed to support a president’s wartime build-o-rama.” www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

As I listen to Tommy Tuberville, I hear state Rep. Chris England on the Alabama House floor four years ago: “You want life in Alabama to be so difficult, so people that don’t look like you or think like you or act like you go somewhere else.” www.al.com/news/2026/03...

Tommy Tuberville seems upset that people are calling him a racist. Why would anyone think that? Let us count the ways.

Reminder: Who the SAVE Act is for (and who it isn’t).

Folks, we need to talk about Steve Marshall. Alabama’s AG keeps trying to execute people who didn’t kill anybody. And now he’s running for the US Senate.

Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey has commuted the death sentence of Charles Lee Burton to life in prison. Good on her.

Why do arms dealers advertise? In Washington, this stuff is so common nobody seems to notice. But to those of us from the rest of America? It’s kinda weird. And telling.

Is this the sign of a man who will let go of power? The president and his allies are acting as though that’s something they’ll never let happen.

Remember when Trump yanked funds from Mississippi after learning that the state's welfare chief had directed millions in Temporary Assistance for Needy Families funds to sports celebrities, including not only Brett Favre, but the Million Dollar man and his two pro-wrestler sons? Wait. He didn't.

Alabama is waving this Globe & Mail story like an Olympic gold medal today. But is it true? The answer: A big YES with a lot of buts. Some thoughts …

Republicans says they believe in voter ID, but when one of their own got caught in the snare, what happened? Donald Trump endorsed him. I give you the curious case of John Wahl.

A comedian set up a fake ICE tip line as a prank to expose the most cruel among us, and then it caught a kindergarten teacher. www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

I’m from the same era - born during his second governorship and remember his third. But yeah, no one ever voted for him. Then again, sometimes you find things like a campaign thimble in your grandmother’s sewing box after she passes.

Alabama’s past is America’s future. Ever met anyone who brags they voted for George Wallace?

When did police start dressing like Fortnite characters? And what is camouflage good for in a city? Dress is a form of speech and we need to pay attention to the message we’re being sent.

Tommy Tuberville, 2023: “The constant malignment of Americans exercising a constitutional right has to end.” Tuberville, 2026: “Why would you take a gun? I don’t understand that.” www.al.com/news/2026/01...

Stanley Milgram’s cruel experiment explains the ICE-y obedience to authority breaking America. 65 percent of us will consent to horrible things — a demographic grossly over-represented in Congress.

If you want fine wine, go to France. If you want to do great journalism, go to Alabama. Congratulations to The Alabama Solution!

Power is a drug and should be regulated like all other controlled substances, only more so. www.al.com/news/2026/01...

I’m not sure how to fix the economy, but political prosecutions of Federal Reserve Board members is a hell of a way to break it.

You can’t filibuster reality, but Tommy Tuberville will try. www.al.com/news/2026/01...

Where does Tommy Tuberville live? Florida or Alabama? If he wants to run for Alabama governor, he needs to put this issue to bed. Release your state tax returns and show us, Senator — if you can.

Paul Finebaum on his political skeletons, Nick Saban, Black Lives Matter and what it’s like getting Laura “Loomered.”

Paul Finebaum received a text message asking whether he would like to trade one life for another. Would he consider running for the U.S. Senate? “As long as I live, I cannot explain the next thing I did,” he says. My column: Paul Finebaum's road not taken www.al.com/news/2025/12...

Tommy Tuberville says things George Wallace wouldn’t have. There’s no code language to decipher. He puts the hate on a plate.

First Amendment Alert! From the Crimson White: The University of Alabama has shuttered two student publications aimed at women and students of color and cited AG Pam Bondi’s anti-DEI memo as its reason. thecrimsonwhite.com/125358/news/...

How do you win elections in Alabama? It helps to be a football star.
