7. Country star Riley Green, an Alabama native, and Tennessee Volunteers legend Peyton Manning collaborated on a song titled “Alabama vs. Tennessee,” and it is an abomination before God and everyone involved should lose.

6. In another blow to the media and their Democrats’ voter suppression lie, Georgia voters set a midterm early-voting record with more than 180,000 ballots cast on the first day Tuesday, eclipsing the 2022 first-day total by more than 55,000, Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger said, “This record-breaking turnout proves that voters have confidence in the integrity of our elections.”

5. Ukraine resumed strikes on Russian oil refineries after a three-day “pause,” with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says, “The block (on attacking refineries) is out. We’re done,” after accusing the United States of betraying Kyiv by withdrawing critical support, restricting Starlink, and reducing intelligence sharing following President Donald Trump’s unilateral energy ceasefire announcement and diesel deal with Russia.

4. Federal agents seized the phone of U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) during a search of her Washington, D.C., home and issued roughly a dozen subpoenas, including to family members, as part of a Homeland Security’s probe into potential immigration-related crimes such as conspiracy and making false statements in paperwork, and while Democrats are whining about targeting, some in the media are highlighting how serious this actually is.

3. The Lowndes County Commission voted 3-2 to approve a project development agreement and a 20-year, 50 percent tax abatement for Project Red Clay, an Nvidia-backed data center on more than 1,000 acres in Burkville,  the developer projected $149 million annually in state and local taxes, 225 permanent jobs, and $70 million yearly for Lowndes County schools.

2. Alabama’s governor’s race is a rematch between Governor-elect National Championship-winning Coach U.S. Senator Tommy Tuberville (R-Auburn) and Doug Jones, the cowardly caretaker former junior senator in an ill-fitting suit, who looks like he just woke up and stole his shoes from a homeless person, who will never be governor, attorney general, or U.S. Senator again, loves crushing ice cream sandwiches, and is definitely maybe a furry, with analysts saying the contest is closer than 2020 and will hinge on Republican turnout, while Tuberville has raised over $15 million and signaled an ALDOT shakeup if elected, saying, “We need to build more roads instead of just putting pavement down” and that the state has “about 2,000 bridges that have been condemned.”

1. Political consultant Dalton Dismukes argued that some Alabama polling may paint a rosier picture for Democrats than actual voters will deliver because of non-response bias, where high-propensity voters who lean Democratic are more likely to answer surveys, noting that “the people who take surveys and the people who vote are not always the same mix, and the gap between those two groups can move the numbers a few points either way,” while acknowledging real demographic shifts in areas in parts of the state.
