7. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) has used her cunning plan She tried to remove House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-Louisiana) from office, citing a variety of “transgressions” including his aid to Ukraine and working with Democrats on budget issues. Despite her efforts, Democrats and Republicans (as well as former President Donald Trump) have Trump) rejected Green's motion and voted overwhelmingly in favor of keeping Johnson in his position.

6. The anti-religion Freedom From Religion Foundation It is called We are calling on the Birmingham Police Department to stop forcing officers to pray for a safe shift, as we believe this heinous practice is an unconstitutional religious ritual funded by the department. This sad group also claims that the department regularly hosts religious activities during mandatory officer roll calls, including prayer, Bible readings, and prayer rallies led by the pastor of a local Baptist church, and they are demanding that all of this stop immediately.

Five. Alabama lawmakers passed it Democrats see this as “anti-union,” and they're clearly right. The bill is being pushed amid ongoing unionization efforts, particularly at the Mercedes-Benz plant in Vance, to protect the state's reputation as a destination for foreign automakers. The bill would reaffirm Alabama's “right to work” status by eliminating economic incentives for companies that choose to recognize unions or don't hold union elections by secret ballot.

Four. Pro-Hamas protesters Gaza If the violent unrest on campus continues as lawmakers hope, the sentence will be a minimum of six months community service. Like the protesters calling for a ceasefire and an end to the war in Gaza, the lawmakers who proposed this punishment haven't checked with Hamas to see if they want an overweight, blue-haired, septum-pierced, non-binary “they/them” with a giant nose ring and ugly tattoos to inhabit their ever-shrinking territory. So this doesn't seem like a very serious measure.

3. The Alabama Legislature passed a bill to cap property tax increases in the state at 7%, after some property taxes have risen by 40%. Lt. Governor Will Ainsworth said in response to the bill's passage, “With the passage of the tax cap, unexpected double-digit property tax increases are no longer a threat to homeowners and business owners.”

2. Internal conflict that's all gambling It's ridiculous, but as Alabama's 2024 legislative session nears the finish line, gambling bills are still completely stalled, with some Alabama lawmakers hoping to make the Alabama Farmers Federation pay for not supporting the bill by holding up a bill they care about. The Alabama Agricultural Center bill, which would offer tax and regulatory incentives (think Disney of Florida) to a project to create a rodeo, livestock show and agricultural event venue in Jefferson County, was held up by state Reps. Sam Jones (D-Mobile) and Andy Witt (R-Harvest) in this fight, but ultimately moved out of committee.

1. Hamas must be happy about US President Joe Biden declare The United States has publicly vowed to stop providing and selling them money for their war in Gaza if Israel continues to pursue them to their hiding places and try to kill them. Even some Democrats, like Rep. Ritchie Torres (D-NY), have said: To tell The move “makes a mockery of our credibility as an ally,” he said, adding, “I think it's pandering to the far left,” as Democrats impeached then-President Donald Trump for confusing politics with national security.
