Pam Bondi just sent a letter to Minnesota officials saying ICE will leave if the state turns over its voter database to Trump.
Guess what? This has never been about safety or immigration. It’s a pretext for Trump to take over elections in swing states.

“If an 18-year-old Marine did that in the middle of a war zone, he would be court-martialed, because it is murder,” four-time Marine infantry veteran of Iraq Rep. Seth Moulton says of today’s Minneapolis killing by a Border Patrol agent.

And that $1b prison in Elmore County? The one that began at $300m? That was a no-bid contract.
My column from Monday. This class of Alabama legislators will be finished this year. And what’s their legacy? Four years marked mostly by cruelty, paranoia and missed opportunities.
The legacy of a departing Alabama Legislature | Alabama Reflector
There have been a handful of positive laws passed by the Legislature since 2023. There have been many more cruel and destructive ones.

So, just to clarify: If a woman receives a 3 carat emerald cut diamond engagement ring, and weeDonnie decides he wants it, and she figures what’s the downside and gives it to him, is weeDonnie now the legitimate fiancée of the giver of the ring? Or does the giver have any voice here?

My column this week. The Alabama lieutenant governor's race often features big promises for an office that is effectively powerless. But as we head into the 2026 elections, it's not the only place in state government where governing and campaigning are disconnected.
Alabama's disconnect between campaigning and governing is back | Alabama Reflector
