It fuels local businesses and shapes a way of life that has existed for generations.

Nobody spends that kind of money expecting nothing in return. National crypto PACs have become some of the biggest political spenders in America because they understand that today’s elections determine tomorrow’s regulations.

What should concern Alabamians is not just where the money is coming from, but what has happened in other states when the crypto industry has gained political influence,” columnist Laura Clark writes.

In a June 8 opinion, a three-judge panel of the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that death row inmate Jeffery Lee had shown Alabama’s nitrogen hypoxia protocol presents a “substantial risk of serious harm” under the Eighth Amendment’s prohibition against cruel and unusual punishment.
