A loss such as this is truly devastating. It is clear that Weston had such a bright future ahead of him, and Louise and I are heartbroken for the Higginbotham family. We are keeping them in our prayers as they go through the difficult days ahead. al.com/news/birmingham/2026/…

With the help of the Supreme Court continuing to show their partisan colors, Alabama has officially re-joined the Old Confederacy. But make no mistake, we intend to build a better Alabama where everyone has a seat at the table.

With our primary win last week our campaign for governor moved into a new phase, but the vision remains the same: I am running for governor for every Alabamian with a team of talented and dedicated folks that will work every day to make your lives better.

We have a lot of momentum after last week’s primary victory. We can win again this fall folks, just like my friend Gov. Andy Beshear wins in Kentucky. Thanks Andy, for believing in what we are building in Alabama. Oh, and remember - we’ve won statewide in Alabama before!

A federal court took the first step today in restoring order and fairness to Alabama’s congressional maps. But this fight is not over by any stretch so we have have to continue to make our voices heard.

Even in these chaotic and uncertain times, I hope everyone takes a moment today, Memorial Day 2026, to reflect on why we set aside this one day: to honor the courage and commitment of those who made the ultimate sacrifice defending the freedoms and liberties that we all cherish. And in so doing let’s also rededicate ourselves to doing our part in efforts to form a more perfect union.

So maybe “Coach” doesn’t know what Memorial Day is and would rather give criminals who beat police and attacked the US Capitol a billion dollars of your hard earned money. Most might say this is unbelievable, but then again most should know where his loyalties really lie - and it is not with the people of Alabama.

NASCAR is an important piece of Southern pride and heritage and this loss cuts deep. Whether you are a @NASCAR fan or not this is a tragedy for his family, his fans and all of us in the South and around the country who saw his history making career. Godspeed Kyle Busch.

We are saddened and heartbroken to share the news of the passing of Kyle Busch, a two-time Cup champion and one of our sport's greatest and fiercest drivers. He was 41 years old. We extend our deepest condolences to the Busch family, Richard Childress Racing and the entire motorsports community.

Great way to spend the day after a big primary win with a visit by Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear. His leadership is inspiring and his endorsement of our campaign was appreciated. Thanks for stopping by Governor!

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!

Thank you, Alabama, for believing in this campaign and in what we can build together. This has never been about one person. It’s about creating an Alabama that works better for everyone. We’ve got work to do, but tonight we celebrate. Thank you for your trust. Let’s keep it going to November!

What they'll ultimately say about that sweltering Saturday in May depends on what happens next, writes columnist Roy S. Johnson.

Sixty one years ago brave foot soldiers crossed the Edmund Pettus Bridge in a peaceful demonstration to attain voting rights, only to be met by state troopers with billy clubs. After a great event with folks in Selma this morning we stopped by the bridge to remind folks that Alabama is still ground zero for voting rights. We hope you join us in Montgomery tomorrow for the All Roads Lead to the South rally at the State Capitol at 1pm and then make your voices heard by voting on Tuesday.
