7. House Democrats responded contemptuously Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene plan House members see the push to force a vote to remove Speaker Mike Johnson as a futile attempt to disrupt Congress. They hope Greene's decisive defeat will quash further attempts by hard-line right-wingers to destabilize the House. Greene's motion is expected to be overwhelmingly opposed by Democrats, with House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries leading the push to introduce it.

6. With the Laken Riley bill now officially dead, State Assemblyman Ernie Yarbrough expressed disappointment that time constraints would prevent HB376 from reaching a final vote this legislative session. The bill aimed to increase penalties for violent crimes against pregnant women in the wake of the tragic kidnapping and murder of college student Laken Riley by an illegal immigrant.

Five. The Biden administration revision Because the Title IX regulations are meant to “protect” LGBTQ+ students and provide greater protections for sexual assault victims on campus, they have sparked controversy and lawsuits from several states, including Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall, who argues that the new regulations exceed federal authority. In response, Marshall and Alabama State Board of Education Superintendent Eric McKee have recommended that Alabama public schools postpone implementation of the regulations until further guidance is provided and they officially go into effect on August 1.

Four. Governor Kay Ivey support The gambling and lottery bill easily passed the House but faltered in the Senate when the proposed constitutional amendment failed to meet the 60% threshold required for passage. Ivey reiterated her stance that it's time for Alabama voters to have their say on the matter. “Lawmakers have had their say, and now it's time for the voters of Alabama to vote. Let's get this done.”

3. Two of the three Republican state senators who voted for the previous gambling bill but against the latest compromise were Repeated They said they would not change their vote on gaming this session, with Sen. Greg Albritton (R-Atmore) being the lone swing vote. With Sens. Chris Elliott (R-Fairhope) and Lance Bell (R-Pell City) absent, it appears Albritton is also firmly in favor of “no,” saying the bill would put the Poarch Band of Creek Indians in an “economically unsustainable position.”

2. Campus Battle rage On some campuses give Absurdly requestBrown University has reached a deal with students protesting the Gaza war, allowing them to remove their encampments from campus in exchange for the university considering divestment from Israel. It's a major concession by a top American university at a time when student protests have spread across the country, leading to hundreds of arrests and campus unrest, and it will only encourage more nonsense.

1. Alabama finally gets on campus protest Students calling themselves Trends Against Genocide held a protest at the University of Alabama over Israel's response to the attempted genocide. The relatively boring protest, which also included counter protesters and at one point had both sides chanting “fuck Biden,” peacefully dispersed before their list of boring demands could be considered.
