Alabama

“

Not one member on the other side of the aisle has had the respect for women to come in here and ask questions. … It's absolutely absurd!

“

[Joint letter from Sens. Warnock and Britt to Attorney General Todd Blanche:] While law enforcement agencies around the country appropriately use ALPR for legitimate public safety purposes including the investigation of violent crime and the location and recovery of missing and abducted persons, misuse of these systems undermines the public's confidence in the technology. [The senators asked for] information about the DOJ funding and oversight of such systems to prevent such misuse and ensure compliance with applicable federal statutes and regulations.

I'm grateful for his decades of service and his commitment to telling the full, honest story of our nation.

“

I’m tired of all the churn. I want to see some stability over there.

The Army secretary’s gone. The chief of staff’s gone. The person being nominated for the position is interim and we don’t know if he’s gonna be confirmed. Those are just not things that are ideal.

“

When you watch those interviews, if you have ever had anyone in your life that has experienced abuse, they were eerie. My heart is broken for his granddaughter and his daughter. Their safety is what's most important and we should stand with Bernie.

“

Right now, our work is getting the SAVE America Act passed, the Russia-Iran Sanctions bill passed, confirming President Trump’s nominees.

HUGE WIN for common sense

“

I am thrilled to see this ruling come out of the Supreme Court and will continue fighting to protect girls and women.

“

The Supreme Court's conservative majority is allowing the State of Alabama to use a congressional map that three Republican-appointed judges have repeatedly found was the product of intentional racial discrimination. And just three years ago, this same Supreme Court agreed that Alabama had discriminated against Black voters in drawing its maps. But, given the Supreme Court's recent highly politicized and unprecedented actions, we are certainly not surprised by this decision.

“

A federal court confirmed what we have said all along: Alabama's 2023 congressional map was intentionally designed to discriminate against Black voters and dilute our political power. While we know that this legal battle is far from over, today's ruling sends a clear message — Black voters in Alabama cannot and will not be silenced.

“

I would have a real problem with compensating people who were convicted of attacking Capitol Police officers.

“

We're not going to reward people that attack policemen and people of authority.

“

You might win this battle today, but you remember, for me, joy comes in the morning.

“

How will Black Alabama voters feel if they have already cast an absentee ballot in this election cycle that is happening as we speak, only to find out their vote has been nullified, especially when the state of Alabama is under court order not to do anything in regards to redistricting until 2030?

“

Alabama is ground zero for voting rights, and we are going to be ground zero to make sure we retain those voting rights. This special session is nothing more than a power grab designed to silence Black voters.

“

By calling the Legislature into a special session, I am ensuring Alabama is prepared should the courts act quickly enough to allow Alabama's previously drawn congressional and state Senate maps to be used during this election cycle.

“

We made great progress on increasing recruitment, improving efficiency, and modernizing the Army. Throughout his long career in service to America, Gen. George has demonstrated his commitment, courage, and leadership.

We saw what happened in the last government shutdown in regards to how it hurt real, hardworking Americans
