Every life is precious. Except you wouldn't say that about the prisoners of our state who commit suicide and are murdered at alarming rates.

Every life is precious. And you'll go to any length to save those precious lives. Except restrictions on guns. Except expanding Medicaid. Except criminal justice reform. Except funding honest Sex Ed in schools. Except funding contraception.

Every life is precious. Except you wouldn't say that about children with epilepsy who need access to cannabis to meet their medical needs.

Every life is precious. Except you wouldn't say that about LGBTQ youth who are bullied into suicide, and the trans folks who are murdered for who they are, but not considered a hate crime.

I'm running to be the next Chair of the Alabama Democratic Party. Because we got big fights to fight and we're going to need a leader who plays to win. Donate to help me make it happen:
GOP domination in Alabama has brought this state to its knees. Health care, education, public safety, incarceration, tax policy, veterans care. It's ALL a mess. To get different outcomes, we need new leaders with new ideas. Alabama, we can do better.

Trump believes patriotism is defined by waving flags and calling our veterans and firefighters heroes. But I say real patriotism is giving those heroes good wages, GREAT healthcare, and a bright economic future.

Alabama is the sixth poorest state in the nation. We rank as the 49th best state to work in. Workers here have fewer rights & protections than workers in other states. If our state leaders won't fix it, then the workers have to do it themselves.

Have you ever wondered why Black and White Democrats in Alabama so rarely work together? It's not an accident. The map was drawn to prevent it.

My official statement on the guilty verdict:
1. Trump had every advantage a defendant could ask for and he was still found guilty.
2. The GOP of 30 years ago would never put a convicted fraudster at the top of their ticket. The Republican Party as you've always know it is dead.
If you don't qualify for Medicaid, why should you care about Medicaid expansion? Because Alabama hospitals NEED Medicaid expansion in order to keep their doors open. It's a significant funding source for them, and without it, they will keep on closing.
No one should go without safe and sanitary sewage treatment... Especially not in America, one of the richest countries in the world. It's time for public servants to get serious about serving the public and FIX IT.

Beautiful eulogy from Meghan McCain: "The America of John McCain is generous and welcoming and bold. she's resourceful, confident, secure. She meets her responsibilities. she speaks quietly because she's strong. America does not boast because she has no need to." Amen.
We already knew that Russians are hacking US elections and targeting Democratic candidates. What's really newsworthy here is how hard some people fight to deny it!
Alabama was having trouble finding companies willing to sell them drugs for the purpose of lethal injection, so now they plan to gas people to death. I sued for transparency on the old protocol and was denied. Shall I try again?
Will the gun policies that I support stop every shooting? No. Will they stop some? Yes. And they are worth pursuing, even if slightly inconvenient for gun owners because... Every. Life. Is. Sacred.

Some have asked, so let me be clear. Although my faith has molded my core values, I am also deeply committed to religious freedom. I will not impose my beliefs on anyone else. The Bible is critically important to me, but it should never be used as a weapon against others.
A safety inspector posing as an intruder accessed a school cafeteria in Uvalde, Texas, through an improperly locked door. The failed safety inspection comes 7 months after a gunman entered Robb Elementary School and killed 19 students and two teachers.
I'm horrified to hear about the tragedy in Dadeville. When an argument breaks out and passions flare, the presence or absence of guns is the difference between a night that ends with black eyes and a night that ends with body bags.

In the past 30 years alone, the state has underfunded Alabama A&M University by more than half a billion dollars, federal officials said in a series of letters issued to governors on Monday.
Trump manufactured this crisis in hopes of forcing Democrats to build a wall. He is USING CHILDREN AS HOSTAGES to get his demands met. Any elected official who can't see through that tactic isn't worthy of their position.
