Blue collar, blue voting independent. Trump sucks! Now Connecticut, back when... Alabama... born in Birmingham, raised in Hayden, but Montevallo is my chosen home. I left for the Great North where I will stay, because I like snow... etc.

Woman forcefully detained in Keys was driving ‘illegal’ boyfriend’s car, feds say The woman in medical scrubs, who was a U.S. citizen, was yanked from her car and wrestled to the ground by federal immigration agents in a Key Largo traffic stop Wednesday before she was released.

"As masked agents dragged the woman from her car, wrestled her to the ground and forced handcuffs on her, she yelled, 'I’m a US citizen. Please help me! This is unfair. Why are you doing this to me?'

She was wearing scrubs and appeared to be on her way to work."

I can't imagine seeing the police in Alabama care enough to actually investigate.

State Police seek owner after dog found dumped on roadside in Litchfield A dog was rescued after being abandoned in Litchfield on Saturday morning.

I visited the South recently for Thanksgiving and again noticed all the animals roaming loose. It's a shame of my home region. The attitudes are so different there than here. That's another thing I don't miss.

Officials criticize Biden vetting, but Afghan shooting suspect was granted asylum under Trump The Trump administration on Thursday blamed Biden-era vetting failures for the admission of an Afghan immigrant suspected of shooting two National Guard members in Washington, D.C., but the alleged gu...

Not that it actually matters because it's a shitty argument, but...

I consider myself an independent. But I sympathize mostly with democrats. But man can they self sabotage. Especially those swearing off the entire party based on 8 cavers.

It appears that Donald Trump’s angry social media posts have once again landed him in hot water in the courts: The judge said the president and his allies had openly admitted they were withholding funding for SNAP benefits for “political reasons.” trib.al/okypylv

This fella has it right about the cowardice and despicable actions of ICE agents. The backlash will come in the future and it will be well earned.

Trump gave Amazon a $16 billion tax break to accelerate its investments this year.

Now, Amazon will replace 600,000 workers with robots as Jeff Bezos accelerates his plan to automate warehouses.

No. Corporate tax breaks do not trickle down to workers. Never have. Never will.

House Republicans step on thin ice as they ignore the Constitution All candidates and parties agree Adelita Grijalva won fair and square. There were no election contests. There were no other disputes.

An Alabama Republican criticizes his party and Speaker Johnson in particular for not swearing in Adelita Grijalva.
