7. A UAB Pulmonary and Critical Care Specialist, Dr. Derek Russell, explained that former Alabama quarterback Jalen Hurts’ blood clot began as a superficial clot in his calf that usually resolves on its own, but “He got really unlucky” as it extended into a deeper vein, traveled to his lungs, and forced him to take blood thinners that rule out contact sports because of bleeding risks, calling the progression “extremely rare” yet a warning that such clots “can keep going to where it connects to a deeper vein, and that’s where it gets more dangerous.”

6. Governor Kay Ivey’s Commission on Screen-Based Instruction is seeking input from parents, teachers, and school leaders on the use of screens in K-12 classrooms with University of Alabama professor Dr. Cailin Kerch saying “It’s not a question of how much screen time students are getting but rather what is the quality of that screen time.”

5. Alabama Republicans are trying to flip the redrawn 2nd Congressional District, once viewed as a safe seat for U.S. Rep. Shomari Figures (D-Mobile), with Republican nominee State Rep. Rhett Marques (R-Enterprise) warning “If we don’t win this seat, I can guarantee you we will not have the leadership in the House,” and U.S. Sen. Katie Britt (R-Montgomery) and Attorney General nominee Katherine Robertson are trying to push turnout in the GOP-favored district.

4. Democrats are pretend mad Wedgewood Polling admitted fabricating surveys that boosted far-left candidates, with one strategist calling them “absolute scumbags” and saying “They can try to claim that they have some moral high ground here, but they lied about their polling data, got caught, and are freaking out because they’ve committed fraud,” after Democrats have obviously benefited from the deception.

3. 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, called the the ALGOP’s “Meet Doug Jones” Facebook page “pathetic,” saying the party “don’t want to talk about substance or issues” but ALGOP Chairman Scott Stadthagen replied that supporting nominees “is the core mission of the Alabama Republican Party, and we make no apologies for it.”

2. Alabama State Sen. Sam Givhan (R-Huntsville) slapped down 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, for claiming an election-year conversion on the grocery tax, saying “We’ve already cut it in half” under Republicans, “couldn’t have happened without Republicans,” and that Jones “wasn’t there and lobbying the Legislature to do this two years ago or three years ago when we started doing this.”

1. Governor-elect National Championship-winning Coach U.S. Senator Tommy Tuberville (R-Auburn) and U.S. Rep. Barry Moore (R-Enterprise) blamed leftist policies and open borders for violent riots in France, with Tuberville posting “Europe is GONE. Americans need to WAKE UP. We must DEPORT illegals and stop the spread of Socialism, or WE’RE NEXT,” after President Donald Trump said the scenes of “burning steeples and raging fires in France” show “what the radical Democrats wanna do to America.”
