This game was so good for my blood pressure, and then so bad for my blood pressure. I wouldn’t be surprised to see this matchup again this season, but I’ll enjoy this one for now. #RollTide, y’all.

We were so truly fortunate to get out. I cannot overstate the severity of devastation in western NC. Please don’t forget about them.

This is a moving story by Hype R. Vigilance on the human toll of Alabama’s failure to expand Medicaid to cover adults with low incomes. Do yourself a favor and read it. #CoverAlabama #alpolitics

Our request to Congress is clear: Oppose more tax cuts for the wealthy and support stronger tax credits for working families and their children. Read our full news release for more information. alarise.org/news-releases/…

“Our lawmakers should reject harmful service cuts for working people and tax giveaways to wealthy households,” Arise’s Robyn Hyden said. “And they should focus instead on building an economy that works for everyone.” Read our full statement for more. alarise.org/news-releases/…

It would be wrong to cut health coverage and food assistance for people who are struggling to make ends meet. And it would be even more wrong to do that to subsidize tax breaks for the wealthiest people in the country.

Whenever someone puts me on TV, there’s a good chance I’ll be urging Alabama to #untaxgroceries. Sure enough, it happened again last night. Thank you to News 19 for the opportunity. #alpolitics whnt.com/news/huntsvill…

“Everybody has to eat, it’s not optional,” Arise's Chris Sanders tells News 19. “And it’s wrong to tax people on groceries, a basic necessity of life. We all would benefit from this further reduction.” #alpolitics whnt.com/news/huntsvill…

“It’s wrong to hurt people who are struggling just to help people who are already far ahead. That’s exactly what the Senate is debating,” Arise’s Robyn Hyden said. Our news release explains how SNAP and Medicaid cuts would harm Alabamians. #alpolitics alarise.org/news-releases/…

This is the core of the budget bill that Congress is rushing to pass by an artificial July 4 deadline. It would take away food assistance and health care from people who are struggling to make ends meet, for the sake of financing tax breaks for wealthy households.
