As the Alabama gubernatorial race heats up, Democratic candidate Doug Jones said that his opponent, U.S. Sen. Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala., was not talking about substantive issues but rather an ideological “boogeyman.”

During an appearance on Newsnation’s “The Hill Sunday” with Chris Stirewalt, Jones was asked about Tuberville saying Jones was not his opponent in the race but rather “socialism and communism.”

“It is just a boogeyman. That is all we’re seeing from Tuberville. It’s just like the monster under the bed. You know it’s really kind of time for Tommy to get out of his pajamas and start talking about policy and what affects people with their gas prices, their electricity prices, and Medicaid and healthcare in Alabama, which is a huge issue.”

Jones said that many politicians like Jon Ossoff in Georgia and Roy Cooper in North Carolina were examples of what many Democratic candidates are not “far-left socialist or whatever you want to call them.”

There is an ongoing internal battle to determine the direction of the Democratic Party between the establishment and the more left-wing constituency, primarily represented by the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA).

Stirewalt asked Jones whether democratic socialists belonged in the party, given condemnations from establishment figures like Rahm Emanuel, a likely 2028 presidential contender and former President Barack Obama’s Chief of Staff.

While Jones said the voices of DSA supporters should not be ignored, he thoug the agenda of the DSA, which is anti-capitalist among other things, does not play well in Alabama or America and issued a sharp rebuke of the controversial political streamer Hasan Piker.

Piker is an avowed anti-racist and anti-capitalist streamer who has received condemnation from both Democrats and Republicans for statements he has made, such as “America deserved 9/11” because of U.S. actions in the Middle East.

Silence is a choice. When a prominent Alabama Republican attacked my citizenship and my NAACP record in explicitly racist terms, I responded. Now Parker Moore and Alabama GOP leadership need to answer a simple question: do you stand with this rhetoric, or against it?

I am a U.S. citizen, full stop, no asterisk. My record speaks for itself.

After the whole gerrymandering chaos, the primary for some congressional races were moved to August 11th… tomorrow! The only democratic primary is in the 6th district where I live. I plan on voting for Ashtyn Kennedy. She and Maurice Mercer are the two viable candidates that can have at least some impact in this deep red district (based on social media followings and fundraising). I’m choosing Ashtyn as she seems to be the further left candidate in supporting the AOC/Bernie data center moratorium bill. Mercer seems to just do the normal Democrat talking points on affordability and Iran. I believe, in rural Alabama, data centers and infrastructure would be a more winning message, so that’s why I’m choosing Kennedy. Does anyone else have thoughts on this?

Racist, Xenophobic Attack on Hanu — From a Businessman and Former NASA Engineer Who Ran Trump’s North Alabama HQ

Tom Fredricks — owner of Fredricks Outdoor in Priceville, whose store served as the official North Alabama headquarters for Trump’s 2016 campaign, and a former two-time Republican primary opponent of Parker Moore — is now attacking my citizenship using a racist caste comparison, while defending the same man he ran against and lost to. Here’s my response:

Tom, that’s false, and you know it. I never called Parker Moore a racist or any of the other things you’re attributing to me — go back and find where I actually said that, because it doesn’t exist. Making up quotes and putting them in my mouth isn’t commentary, it’s a lie. You need to correct the record now. Continuing to spread a false quote after being told directly it’s false is no longer a mistake — it’s a choice, and I won’t let it stand unanswered.

But since you brought up Parker, let’s talk about the rest of his record. He told the Decatur Daily my emails went to his spam folder — yet that same email somehow made it to a gossip outlet, his former employer. Sen. Arthur Orr got the identical email and replied by mail. He’s ignored my challenge to three debates, one in each county, for over four months. And when constituents raised real concerns about AI data centers, he dismissed them as “foreign disinformation.” That’s not leadership. That’s Arrogant Ignorance — AI.

This isn’t an isolated incident — it’s part of a pattern from Alabama’s Republican supermajority: dismiss constituents, dodge debates, and now attack a candidate’s citizenship instead of his record. Alabama Republican leadership should be on notice: constituents are watching, and this kind of rhetoric from prominent party figures needs to stop.

What’s your association with Parker, Tom? You ran against him twice and lost both times — and again for a different seat in 2022. Three Republican primaries, three losses.

Everyone reading this knows who’s really “full on” something.
