Five days after the LA election, Spencer Pratt falls to third place and a woman who hardly anyone voted for in person, Nithya Raman, totally dominated in mail voting to come in second. No one with a functional brain believes these results.

More than 1 million people packed Madrid’s streets to see Pope Leo XIV celebrate Mass on Corpus Domini, honoring Spain’s centuries-old tradition of religious devotion. The historic event featured a massive procession over elaborate flower-petal carpets, one of the country’s most iconic expressions of faith.

Thank you to Sheriff Ron Abernathy for your endorsement.

Sheriff Abernathy is a respected leader in Tuscaloosa County, and I am proud to have his support.

As a law enforcement officer myself, I am grateful to have another law enforcement leader standing with us.

We have a job to do before June 16th. Spread the word, show up, and let’s get to work.

@TheDaleJackson @bonds_phily Moore has literally used the descriptive words veteran and soldier as one of the main cores of his campaign and in every messaging and advertising piece.

[Kenny Dean, Jr. @KennyDeanJr]

@TheDaleJackson Come on Dale. The desperation has been coming from the Moore campaign. This story has nothing to do with Hudson. It’s a legitimate question that was brought up by the media & should be an easy answer for Moore. It seems like you should focus on Moore with this issue & not Hudson.

Andre Agassi had a beautiful message for Maja Chwalińska after her run at Roland Garros:

"If you don't know why you deserve it, let me help you understand that.. Keep making yourself better because you're a gift to the sport." 🥹

For those who may not know, a DD-214 is the official federal document service members receive when they leave active duty.

It is commonly used to verify military service for veterans, employment, and other official purposes.

Several of y’all have asked me to share mine, and I’m doing that because listening to voters matters.

I encourage Barry Moore to do the same before our debate on Monday night, so we can put this issue behind us and focus on the real issues facing the people of Alabama.

Y’all have a blessed Saturday.

[Jared Hudson @JaredHudson_AL]

I’m an outsider. I’m not a career politician.

I’m a former NAVY Seal, law enforcement officer, small business owner, CEO of a nonprofit that hunts down predators and I know what fighting for what’s right looks like.

Alabama is tired of career politicians forgetting about the people who elected them the second they get to Washington.

Vote on June 16 and don’t forget to tune into our debate on Monday night!

JUST IN: Senate candidate from Alabama Jared Hudson calls on his opponent Barry Moore to release his DD-214 following allegations that the congressman exaggerated his military service.

“I’ve put mine out there. I’m sure Barry’s going to put his out there and he should before we debate on Monday night.”

A DD-214 is a document that is commonly used to verify someone's military service.

Politico calls Hudson a rising “underdog” in the Alabama Senate race.

Earlier this week, the Gateway Pundit reported that Moore may have exaggerated his military service.

The outlet reported that in a letter condemning Tim Walz for exaggerating his service, Moore was listed as a retired US Army National Guard Staff Sergeant.

Moore's campaign website says he enlisted in the Alabama National Guard while at Auburn and joined Auburn's ROTC program, but does not list his rank.

Out of 16.4 million Americans who served in WWII, only about 40,000 are still alive.

They’re dying at a rate of ~100 per day.

These are the heroes who saved the world from tyranny.

Find one. Thank one. Listen to their stories.

While you still can.

90% of the soldiers on the first boats to hit the beach didn't live to see the end of the day. Look at those faces. Some of them never made it to 18.

Never forget that they paid the ultimate price for our freedom. We live our lives the way we do because of them.

HONORING OUR HEROES: Today marks the 82nd anniversary of the D-Day landings — a pivotal moment in World War II, when tens of thousands of Allied soldiers stormed the French coastline to liberate an imprisoned Europe.

“Thousands of brave Americans advanced into chaos to save civilization,” said U.S. Ambassador to NATO Matthew Whitaker in a message honoring those brave Americans. “We stand forever grateful for these heroes.”

A 24-year-old Polish tennis player arrived in Paris last week ranked 114th in the world, with no sponsors, no guaranteed income, and no certainty she could even pay for her hotel room.

She had to win three qualifying matches just to enter the French Open main draw. Prize money is only paid at the end of the tournament, so a Polish sports drink brand quietly stepped in and covered her hotel bill.

Her name is Maja Chwalinska. And today, she plays in the French Open final.

Before this tournament, she had won exactly one Grand Slam main draw match in her entire career. She had battled depression so severe that in 2021 she couldn't get out of bed. She underwent knee surgery in 2022. She spent years grinding through small tournaments across Europe just to stay afloat.

Then she arrived in Paris, won three qualifiers, and kept winning. Zheng Qinwen. Elise Mertens. Maria Sakkari. Diana Shnaider. Nine straight matches. One set dropped.

She is now the first qualifier in French Open history to reach the final. The last time a qualifier reached a Grand Slam final, it was Emma Raducanu at the 2021 US Open. Raducanu won.

By simply making the final, Chwalinska has earned more prize money than her entire career combined. The runner-up cheque alone is $1.6 million. If she wins today, she takes home $3.25 million.
One week ago she couldn't pay for her hotel room.

Kobe Bryant reveals exactly why so many athletes go broke a few years after retirement

"Once you retire you don't have that source of income coming in. Even if you save over a 15-year career, if your spending habits remain the same, eventually that well is going to run dry"

"For us athletes the retirement age is 32, 34, if you're lucky 37 like myself. What comes next?"

"The question needs to be, what is my passion. Not where I can create the most value or generate the most revenue, but what is my next passion"

"When you find that next passion, then everything else will make sense"

"But that's the hardest part for us"

"We have to constantly learn. Our mantra is value growth, because to grow you have to constantly learn, constantly move, constantly improve"
