7. On3 placed Auburn as the most overrated team in the College Football Playoff era based on the gap between preseason AP rankings and final season results since 2014, finishing just ahead of LSU, while Alabama placed 11th due to repeated No. 1 starts that fell short of national titles, with the analysis noting that “comparisons from the start of the season to the end of the season clearly show the Tigers have fallen short over the years.”
6. The National Republican Senatorial Committee issued a private memo warning top AI companies that data centers have become “politically radioactive,” cautioning that if U.S. Sen. Jon Husted (R-Ohio) loses his race after Democrats made the issue a centerpiece of their campaign, “politicians across the country will take notice — and they will not go near the next one,” and urging companies to better explain “who benefits, who pays, and why a community should want one.”
5. Covington County Sheriff Blake Turman defended Flock cameras, imploring people to understand that it is “Technology used lawfully and for a legitimate public-safety purpose” that can save “lives” and that the tools can help find a missing child, locate a stolen vehicle or solve a serious crime, while emphasizing “Technology is a tool… The key isn’t simply whether we have the technology. The key is how we use it” and remaining open to reconsidering their use if public concerns outweigh the benefits.
4. Tuesday’s Florida primaries were a mixed bag for Democrats with Democrat Socialist of America Florida State Rep. Angie Nixon winning the U.S. Senate nomination over impeachment hero Alex Vindman and will face U.S. Sen. Ashley Moody (R-Fla.), prompting Scott Jennings to expose her as “anti-American” for joining the Democrat Socialist Party while U.S. Rep. Byron Donalds (R-Fla.) won the Republican gubernatorial primary to face Democrat David Jolly (a former Republican congressman and MSNBC regular).
3. Former U.S. Senator 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 and who will never be governor, attorney general, or U.S. Senator again, once again evaded a simple question, this time, on the socialist surge in the Democratic Party during a NewsNation appearance, insisting “A lot of this is also a little bit media driven” and dismissing the rise of far-left candidates as “just a boogeyman.”
2. U.S. Senate candidate and U.S. Rep. Barry Moore (R-Enterprise) proposed naming the new $3.2 billion I-10 Mobile River Bridge the “Gateway to the Gulf of America, the Donald J. Trump Bridge,” saying “President Trump has always had a special connection to Alabama… I’d be proud to see that connection live on through this bridge for generations to come” and that the project “reflects Alabama’s growth and our role in America’s future.”
1. Governor-elect National Championship-winning Coach U.S. Senator Tommy Tuberville (R-Auburn) vowed not to privatize Alabama’s Retirement Systems of Alabama, declaring “RSA works. Social Security is headed for trouble” and firing back at Doug Jones by stating “The scam is Washington — decades of taking your money, spending it, making promises they know they can’t keep,” while emphasizing he paid into Social Security and that beneficiaries “ought to get every dime you’re promised.”
