Happily exhausted after our Culture and Belonging committee at Alabama Media Group sponsored Druid City Pride. Kids (and children at heart) loved our temporary tattoos, and several readers told us how much they appreciate our journalism. Blessings to committee members Hannah, Alaina and Diane!

NEW: In late 2024, FBI investigators had enough evidence to launch a sweeping bribery probe that could ensnare top lawmakers, including Sen. Susan Collins. Then Trump was reelected and eviscerated the FBI and DOJ teams handling public corruption probes.
