Mikhail Torrance was one of the best that Mobile has ever had to offer. A standout basketball player for the University of Alabama and an even better person. His legacy will live on through his family and the countless individuals he inspired and impacted. Mikhail, you made our city proud.

I am honored to have secured the Democratic nomination for Lt. Governor of Alabama.  Thank you to my family, friends, and supporters for helping make this possible. Winning in November will not be easy but Alabamians are ready for change. Everywhere I go, I hear from residents who want serious leaders. They are sick of politicians and powerful interest groups who would rather keep us divided than offer solutions. Together, we will build a broad coalition of Democrats, Republicans, and independents that are committed to improve affordability, keep hospitals open, strengthen public schools, and make communities safer. Let’s keep up the hard, but necessary work to move our state forward and create an Alabama for all!

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive. No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief. 1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

While you weren't looking, Trump rolled back Biden's ethics rules prohibiting executive branch employees from accepting major gifts from lobbyists. So much for "drain the swamp."

Trump now actively calling for our troops to not get paid for Christmas. Why? Because he's demanding a bill to grease his tax cut for his billionaire and corporate crowd. Let our soldiers have a skimpy Christmas so that the rich can get richer. That's what's happening.

It’s despicable that people in our nation’s capital are dining behind plywood-covered windows, fearing the violence Trump could incite. A chilling reminder of the hate and division he has sown. America deserves better. 📸: REUTERS/Nathan Howard

Here’s your reminder that Tim Sheehy would rob Montana women of their freedom, carve up and sell off our public lands, and shutter rural hospitals. We can’t trust him to defend our Montana way of life.
