@Rockydeplorable @cabsav456 There are too many voters who don’t really follow issues closely.

I always found this way of thinking puzzling. I mean, no matter how much money they spend it comes down to your vote, who do you want? Their pushing Byron Donald's right now for the state of Florida, do you think because he has tons of money and runs ads that I'm going to vote for him, hell no!! I'm going to vote for who I want. If money can buy your vote that's not shame on the GOP, that's shame on you.

The Thomas Massie primary is truly insane. We are looking at the most expensive U.S. House primary in history, with spending pushing toward $35 million. Massie's opponent, Ed Gallrein, has raised just $2 million on his own. The rest of the money, over $14 million, is coming from outside Super PACs who desperately want Massie gone. On top of that, Pete Hegseth is being deployed to Kentucky to campaign against him. Stephen Miller & Con Inc. have been on massive Twitter tirades attacking him. And there was a highly coordinated smear campaign of unfounded allegations launched this week by Con Inc. influencers. When the establishment is willing to spend $35M+ and go to these lengths to take one man down, it really makes you wonder why. Whether you like Massie or not, this election will determine whether or not we as voters actually have a voice anymore. If outside special-interest money can successfully buy a seat and sway an election like this, we have a serious, serious problem.

@KrisColvin It’s a parody account. He’s one of the good guys, but he fools a lot of people.

Is this guy just a troll?

🚨 🇺🇸UNACCEPTABLE: Orlín Hernandez Reyes was 2 years old. He was a US citizen. He was beaten to death in Florida last month. His mother Wendy is in Honduras. ICE deported her in January. She was a day laborer laying concrete. Her car got pulled over in Alabama. The local sheriff handed her to ICE under the federal 287(g) program. She begged to take Orlín with her. She says ICE refused. ICE says she was offered the option and abandoned him. Wendy says she asked repeatedly. The uncle she was forced to leave Orlín with had a documented history of beating his own children with cords and wires. He’s been charged with felony murder. The medical examiner found burns, multiple broken ribs, a transected pancreas, and evidence of repeated blows over a month. ICE Director Todd Lyons issued a press release calling Wendy a mother who “abandoned” her son to “a violent murderer.” A Florida activist told reporters she knew of six children left behind in a single week after their parents were deported.

The Republican supermajority in the AL legislature has demonstrated time and time again that they only care about absolute power. This deeply disturbing footage shot yesterday by State Sen. Merika Coleman proved it once and for all.

Republican leaders in Montgomery wasted $400,00 of taxpayer money on a special session to give themselves more power. They haven’t done anything to make our lives better. It’s why so many Alabamians want change and will be sending them a message: Change is coming! Vote May 19th.

Another bad week for democracy folks. But we have to keep hope alive Alabama. VOTE May 19th!

This is NOT what democracy looks like!

Yes folks, we are still having primary elections in Alabama on Tuesday, May 19th and I would appreciate your vote for Governor. Lots of noise out there but the election will go on. Your vote is your voice so make it heard. Vote May 19 and let’s change Alabama.

The primary elections are this coming Tuesday, May 19th. Forget the noise and confusion - this election is still happening and your vote is more important than ever. I am running for Governor to make a difference in the lives of all Alabamians and would appreciate your vote this Tuesday.

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.

We are 3 days away from the May 19th primary. Have you made your plan to vote? #dougforalabama

Great crowd at All Roads Lead to the South rally in Montgomery today.

@RepTerriSewell @DougJones @RepUnderwood @Rep_Stansbury @RepTimKennedy @RepCasten Because they do!! I would vote for you if I were in your district. I would vote for Shomari, a graduate of the H.S. where I served as librarian for 40 years, if I were in his district. You two are among the best representatives of Alabama.

We need to VOTE like our lives depend on it!!!

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

A throwback to late January when Edie came calling with tiny Enid, her fifth calf, just a few days old. Edie came to us in 1999, herself only a few months old, after falling into a well and being abandoned by her family at first light. There was a long stretch when we weren't sure if she had it in her to fight for life – grief-stricken, bruised, refusing her milk. She came through it slowly, with patience from her Keepers and the company of older orphans who refused to give up on her. She is 27 now, and a matriarch in Tsavo. A mother of five – Ella, Eden, Eco, Enzo, and now Enid, all living together in the wild. When you adopt or donate, this is what it builds toward. Not just rescue, but a life that goes on to make more life. Become a part of an orphan's story from the very start by adopting: sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/orphans
