Trump’s not coming to Mobile for Tommy. That’s just an afterthought. Pretty clear that he’s in Mobile to campaign for another personal vanity project to have the new Mobile Bay Bridge that Tuberville voted against, named after him. At least Trump didn’t divert bridge funds for self promo TV ads.

What a thrill it was to be back with my old friend @jasonisbell @jasonisbell at our big rally in Mobile last week. Jason never lets an audience, or me, down with this music and his words. Thank you for always being there for us!

I couldn’t be in Brewton and miss the Battle of Highway 31! Thank you to both T.R.Miller and Hillcrest High School for letting us join in on the rivalry and to the band for getting me one step closer to doing the Dougie!

A sitting president doesn’t go to a safe state a month before an election. Alabama is in play, folks.

This week, we kicked off our On the Road to Change Tour across Alabama. Starting in Mobile, we made our way through Florala, Brewton, Thomasville, and Gainesville. And I’ll tell you, we are feeling the momentum.

What an honor it was to introduce the world premier of “Growing Up with Atticus” to kick off the centennial season of The Virginia Samford Theater, and to be able to visit with the amazing stars Cecilia Peck, daughter of the great Gregory Peck, and Birmingham’s own Mary Badham, aka “Scout.”

On more than one occasion in my life I have taken an oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States. For me that oath was so much more than holding an office, it was an acknowledgment of principles that have guided me both personally and

$6 diesel is crushing Alabama farmers, truckers and shrimpers. And when it costs more for them to do their jobs, we all pay more. Tommy Tuberville? He takes a knee.

First Baptist Church of Ensley has a rich history of faith, service, and leadership. The late Reverend Dr. Thomas Earl Gilmore, Sr. served there as pastor for more than three decades. A civil rights leader, he made history as Greene County’s first African American sheriff and became widely known as

What a great day in Tuscumbia on Labor Day. Food, fun, a parade and a Bama jersey autographed by Joe Namath! Organized labor has worked so hard and for so long for the workers in Alabama, it’s time that Alabama’s government did some work for them not always against them.

Change is happening in Shelby County. During the primary, Democratic turnout increased by 260%. Louise and I enjoyed spending yesterday afternoon with the Shelby County Democrats and so many of our strong Democratic candidates.

9/11 is a day of remembrance, but it is also a day of service. Today, we honor those who were killed, the first responders who ran toward danger, and the countless Americans who stepped up to help.

Thanks to everyone who came out for our town hall in Tuskegee and to Congressman Shomari Figures for joining us. For too long, communities across the Black Belt have been asked to do more with less.

I was honored yesterday to be the Grand Marshall in the Labor Day parade in Tuscumbia, one of the oldest Labor Day celebrations in the country. Organized labor is in my DNA folks and as Governor I will do everything I can to protect and promote the working men and women in Alabama.

Tuberville says “We’re gonna do data centers” and the concerns of people across Alabama is nothing more than “Bullcrap.” He can spin all he wants but he can’t walk that back.

Another example of why as Governor I will impose a one year moratorium so Alabama communities are protected and have a say. Montgomery and Tuberville want to fast track these things and Tuberville says our concerns are bull crap youtu.be/Wmy1OJK-ha8

Social Security is a promise. If you work hard, you can retire with dignity. For 91 years, our country has kept that promise. We must continue to.

Tuberville says Social Security is a “scam”. To use his response about the concerns communities have about data centers, “bullcrap”.

Hey folks, we’re gonna be doing another town hall tomorrow, Wednesday the 22nd in Dothan. Agriculture Commissioner Ron Sparks will join me at 5 pm at the Mural City Coffee Company so please come out and join us. It’s our way of being responsive to the people of Alabama.

Tommy Tuberville will open the floodgates to data centers and justify it with one of his bizarre conspiracy theories. Not me. We need to slow things down and put some guardrails up to protect our communities.

Like so many in this country and around the world, I was shocked and saddened by the death of my friend and former colleague Lindsey Graham. Lindsey was often a man of many contradictions but at his core he was a fierce patriot; not just a defender, but a promoter of democracy. We disagreed…

Thank you Colbert County! An amazing turnout for our town hall last night in Sheffield. Great crowd, great questions, great dialogue. And thanks to IBEW local 558 for hosting us. This is what momentum looks like. Next up: Dothan. Hope to see just as many folks in the Wiregrass as the Shoals.

In 1965, an Alabama State Trooper shot and killed Jimmie Lee Jackson during a protest in Marion, AL. He was unarmed and the protesters were peaceful. His death led to the Selma to Montgomery march for voting rights and ultimately the passage of the 1965 Voting Rights Act. 61 years later….

Thankfully the Supreme Court upheld birthright citizenship but it was closer than expected. Sadly Justice Kavanaugh’s concurrence may create more chaos and division.

Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there! My dad taught me so much in the 65 years that I was privileged to be his son and I have done my best to pass all of it along to my kids. That folks is the legacies our father’s leave us.

With the help of the Supreme Court continuing to show their partisan colors, Alabama has officially re-joined the Old Confederacy. But make no mistake, we intend to build a better Alabama where everyone has a seat at the table.

We have a lot of momentum after last week’s primary victory. We can win again this fall folks, just like my friend Gov. Andy Beshear wins in Kentucky. Thanks Andy, for believing in what we are building in Alabama. Oh, and remember - we’ve won statewide in Alabama before!

Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there, and especially my running mate Louise, the love of my life and the glue for our family. Y’all visit your momma today but if you can’t visit make sure and call her. As the great Bama coach Bear Bryant once famously said: I sure wish I could call mine.

Happy 100th birthday Harper Lee! Alabama storyteller Nelle Harper Lee was born on April 28, 1926 in Monroeville, Alabama. Like so many, I learned early from To Kill a Mockingbird that real courage means doing what's right, even when it's hard.  I often quote this line from Atticus Finch….

“Coach” Tuberville has just made the point that the charges against the SPLC are purely political and have nothing whatsoever to do with fraud or justice.

Tourism is such an important and growing part of Alabama’s economy and two of the best spots are in the Shoals: Ivy Green, birthplace of Helen Keller, and Muscle Shoals Sound Studios where some of the legends of rock n roll recorded. @louisenewjones and I had a great time visiting both last week.
