GREAT food. BTDT.

We held a press conference to mark the start of the 2026 campaign season. (Just one year from now.) More than 20 Democrats will be on the ballot in Madison County, Alabama.

Here's some local news coverage.

November?!!!? How can it be November already? (Pssst! And the time change is tonight!)

Anyway, the 3rd Thursday this November is...November 20th. (You know you can program your phone's calendar for this, right?)

Put it on your calendar -- however you do it. It will be a busy month.

Ahem...

"WASHINGTON, D.C. — U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement is proud to announce that it has issued over 1,000 tentative job offers since July 4, marking a significant milestone in its ongoing recruitment efforts." (www.ice.gov/news/release...)

Alabama family awaits fate of husband, father detained by ICE: ‘Immeasurable harm to our family’ Family's story was shared last month at City Council meeting.

"She said her father, Joseph Brunty, a retired NASA engineer, reached out to Sen. Katie Britt and U.S. Rep. Dale Strong on their behalf. She said Strong’s office replied by email that the congressman supported President Donald Trump’s immigration policies."

Maybe Dale ought to support citizens.

Marjorie Taylor Greene open to healthcare deal with Democrats amid shutdown Republican says she is ‘disgusted’ by rising insurance premiums and may defy her party over expired tax credits

"“But I’m going to go against everyone on this issue because when the tax credits expire this year my own adult children’s insurance premiums for 2026 are going to DOUBLE, along with all the wonderful families and hard-working people in my district."

Guess who?

Didn't see that coming did you?

About 15% of the state’s population, more than 752,000 people, are enrolled in SNAP in Alabama.

Rep-elect Adelita Grijalva: I can't serve constituents until I am sworn in and actually have constituents

We're in court today to stop the unlawful detention of people who aren't citizens at Guantánamo Bay in Cuba.

The Trump administration thinks they can evade the law by sending people to an offshore prison, to scare people into giving up their rights. They're wrong.

Blaming school enrollment decline on gays while the State is giving people money NOT to go to school. #LogicFail

"Butler introduced a similar version of the bill in the 2025 legislative session last spring, but the bill failed to be passed by the Senate. This is his first time prefiling the bill."

Speaking of which...Speaker Johnson won't call the House into session. So what is Dale Strong -- our Congressman -- doing with all his spare (unscheduled) time?

Hosting town halls so we can talk to him? (I don't think so...)

Call him and ask.

BREAKING: A federal appeals court held the Trump administration could take control over 200 members of the Oregon National Guard, despite the governor's objections.

Peaceful protest, inflatable animal costumes, and bike rides are not a reason to send American troops into our communities.

Of the 2,974 frames I shot yesterday at the #NoKings protest in #Huntsville #Alabama, this is the one (there can only be one) I shared on my personal page.

I like the picture -- the elements, the framing, etc. -- but the truth of it really hit me. #Resist

(I call this the Instagram edit. All verticals.)

Four more from the #NoKings protest in #Huntsville #Alabama on October 18, 2025.

Kudos to @50501movement.bsky.social and @indivisible5al.bsky.social for all the hard work.

As much as we love BlueSky, it isn't a photo-friendly as Facebook. There are dozens more at www.facebook.com/MadisonCount..., if you care to look. #NoKings #Huntsville #Alabama

1) I love signs.
2) We spilled over at both ends of the road.
