7. Former White House physician Kevin O’Connor invoked the Fifth Amendment and dodged questions during a House Oversight Committee interview investigating an alleged cover-up of former President Joe Biden’s mental and physical decline, leading to speculation about his actions.

6. Fairhope city council candidates were surveyed about addressing inappropriate materials in the public library’s juvenile sections; most candidates wisely declared that the obviously inappropriate books in the children’s section should have been moved. However, Andrea Faust Booth appears to timidly support the actions of the library staff that cost the Alabama Public Library Service funding in the first place.

5. Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall is advocating for a murder trial against a former Decatur police officer in the shooting death of Steve Perkins, emphasizing accountability. But the case hinges on whether former Decatur police officer Mac Marquette was in fear for his life being taken after Perkins pointed his gun at the officer before he was shot.

4. U.S. Rep. Gary Palmer (R-Hoover) predicted a growing GOP majority, citing public frustration with “stupid” Democratic policies and their radical ideas.

3. NASA is experiencing significant staff departures due to budget cuts and policy changes under the Trump administration, raising concerns about the agency’s future, with 279 expected to depart Marshall Space Flight Center in Alabama.

2. Governor-elect Coach U.S. Senator Tommy Tuberville (R-Auburn) encouraged ICE agents to “shoot back” IF attacked during immigration enforcement, emphasizing their right to self-defense; the usual suspects are upset because they can’t understand English.

1. As some on the left continue their hateful rhetoric and strange accusations (some on the right, too) about the Texas floods, Alabama U.S. Sen. Katie Britt (R-Montgomery) called for national unity following the Texas floods that killed over 100 people, and condemned Democrats for blaming Trump’s policies instead of focusing on recovery.
