Not sure why people continue to insist on thinking Alabama is solidly red. We’ve been trying to tell you for years. We’re literally the origin of the blue dot. Every county in the state shifted left this election.
Brett Jones, the first openly gay sheriff to be elected in Alabama, campaigned on transparency, jail reform and discontinuing the county’s contract with Flock, the controversial license plate reader system that has sparked widespread concern. wapo.st/4Ahz6YP

People fucking died. Families lost healthcare. Children are going hungry. We have concentration camps, and he tore down part of the White House. I WANT ACCOUNTABILITY. I DO NOT WANT STRONGLY WORDED LETTERS.

If you’re a new Democratic US Representative or Senator you have an immediate job:
Get your constituent services up and running. There are a ton of you in deep red territory and that’s the only way to survive 2028. You entrench yourself as deep into your community as possible

NEW:
The campaign of now Senator-elect Annie Andrews received a poll in early October showing her with a three-point lead over Darline Graham.
But the Democrat's campaign decided against publicly releasing the poll — or any subsequent internal poll — showing Andrews with a lead over Graham, wary of drawing too much attention from national Republicans and jeopardizing a peak at the right time.
By the time Republicans noticed, it was too late to turn Graham's campaign around.

I think everyone but especially people in their late teens and early 20s needs to hear that a death affects everyone around them. no matter how minuscule you feel your life is, even if you feel like no one likes you, your absence will reach people you didn’t know it could reach
