7. U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minnesota) is finally under investigation by the Department of Justice over allegations of immigration and financial fraud, which appears rampant in Minnesota.

6. U.S. Senator Katie Britt (R-Montgomery) questioned the Department of Transportation on the long-awaited $1.2 billion Birmingham interstate project and the critical Gulf Coast bridge during a hearing where the head of the DOT said, “It’s a critical artery and very important, I know, to your state and to America.”

5. Alabama lieutenant governor candidates, former ALGOP Chairman John Wahl and Secretary of State Wes Allen, sparred over Trump loyalty heading into the June 16 runoff in what promises to be a very contentious race.

4. Governor-elect National Championship-winning Coach U.S. Senator Tommy Tuberville (R-Auburn) defended President Donald Trump against ridiculous insider stock trading accusations by stating, “I never look at my stocks. You give it to someone who knows what they’re doing,” which the immoral lying idiots at aldotcom turned into “I do the same thing.”

3. Governor-elect National Championship-winning Coach U.S. Senator Tommy Tuberville (R-Auburn) and U.S. Senator Katie Britt (R-Montgomery) both pushed back on President Donald Trump’s $1.776 dollar Department of Justice “anti-weaponization” fund as they supported efforts to protect Americans from federal overreach, but they do not believe people who were convicted of violent crimes against law enforcement should be eligible.

2. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said there has been some slight progress in talks to end the Iran conflict as negotiations continue amid ongoing tensions and President Donald Trump continues to threaten further action.

1. The Democratic National Committee released its 2024 autopsy, showing that Democrats lost touch with regular Americans, focused too much on hating Trump and social issues, with the DNC Chair Ken Martin apologizing for creating even bigger distrust by hiding the report, but massive complaints continue about how Jews are not being blamed enough.
