Aerosmith made more money from Guitar Hero than from any of their albums.

Been on number 8. Would not recommend. Fortunately we caught a tailwind and it was ‘only’ 12.5 hours.

When law enforcement officers report for duty, they never know what the day may bring. They may help someone involved in a traffic accident, apprehend a dangerous criminal or perform lifesaving procedures during a medical emergency. As ALEA honors eight officers for their actions across Alabama, their stories illustrate how quickly a routine shift can become a fight to save a life.

Even if you're familiar with the nationalization of politics and @dhopkins1776's brilliant book, the the uniformity of the senate shift in '26 is striking

@davidhughes_phd I had a friend in MN who went to vote and they told her she had already voted. She had to go down to the election office and sort it out. Someone with her same name voted under her name by mistake. No big deal but if she didn’t have time to sort it out she would have not voted.

[Sam T Adams @SamTAdams1]

@davidhughes_phd So that’s a no. Legislative incumbents losing left and right in Madison County.

[Sam T Adams @SamTAdams1]

@davidhughes_phd I'm watching the Madison County local races. The early boxes have the Dems ahead in just about every race. Interested to see if the later boxes follow the same trend or skew R.

@davidhughes_phd Never had a problem with the old scantron machines in MGM.

[Todd Stacy @toddcstacy]

Just looked for an update and, according to @AdImpact_Pol, more than $14.4 million has been spent just on TV in AL-2 this cycle. That doesn't include mail, radio, staff, polling, etc.

Will likely be a $20M+ race in the end, which is NUTS for Alabama.

With Election Day coming next week, be careful not to confuse percent with percentage point. A change from 10% to 13% is a rise of 3 percentage points. This is not equal to a 3% change; rather, it’s a 30% increase.

[Rep. Barry Moore @RepBarryMoore]

Team Moore was honored to join @ALEAprotects in celebrating the graduation of ALEA’s 2026B class.

Congratulations to these graduates as they begin their service to the people of Alabama. Grateful for their commitment to our communities and we wish them the best as they answer the call to serve!

@RosieLangello I’ve heard the Cairo, GA Syrupmakers’ marching band play at the Mule Day festival.

The United States of America has collapsed. Rival grocery store chains have taken over. Who are you pledging your allegiance to?

Paul was happy in prison. Eve was unhappy in paradise. Happiness is about perspective....not possessions✝️✝️
