I really, really don't understand the opposition to sports wagering by the legislature. It's the most widespread form of illegal gaming in Alabama. It's all over the country, including in every neighboring state, and easy to do on phones now. It's like trying to ban Netflix.

It's National Small Business Week, and I paid a visit to Cloverdale Service Center, where I've been a loyal customer for decades! Businesses like these showcase the hard work of Alabamians, especially our small business owners. #alpolitics

It’s amazing why anyone would think the very industry who created the problem would want to solve the problem. #alpolitics

Prohibiting the sale of menthol cigarettes & flavored cigars would mark a historic turning point in the #TobaccoEndgame. @amheartadvocacy, 79 orgs & grassroots advocates nationwide are urging the administration to release these lifesaving rules w/o delay.

@clairecmc which bills should we advocate for the algorithm for social media and children? I certainly don’t want to advocate for one that the industry helps write.
English
@HeyDanaSweeney @RepEngland70 Did also hear everyone blame children 4 being addicted 2 nicotine & want kids punished? No one mentioned the industry and Retailers/adults selling it to kids. hB319 hurts kids not helps them. Hoping 4 some amendmts that holds those selling the products responsible.
