Alabama News Roundup - Hot Off the Press!

Trump's Tariff Tweak: Before his big 100-day speech, President Trump rolled out an executive order in Michigan, easing tariffs on imported car parts and vehicles. The calculation? It factors in all tariffs paid. Meanwhile, the media's spinning a "dangerous dictator" narrative, and folks are buyin' it!

Tuberville's Alabama Roots: Tax records show Senator Tommy Tuberville's got a homestead exemption on an Alabama pad. Those whispers about him living in Florida? Sounds like bunk, but expect 'em to keep comin'.

Ainsworth's 2026 Vision: Lt. Gov. Will Ainsworth ran a Facebook poll, testing the waters for a 2026 run—governor or Senate? Governor's looking good, but with the Senate door maybe opening, things could get interesting!

Greene County Races Forward: The Alabama House Economic Development and Tourism Committee gave the thumbs-up to historical horse racing in Greene County, after initially saying "neigh."

ICE Raids Baldwin County: Immigration and Customs Enforcement snagged a cool 1,000 undocumented workers at Baldwin County construction sites as enforcement ramps up.

Truckers Talk Safety: Alabama truckers are cheering on a Trump-era order requiring English proficiency tests for commercial drivers, citing major safety concerns. Makes sense, right?

Wahl's Poverty Plan: ALGOP Chairman John Wahl is championing legislation pushing the "success sequence": graduate, get a job, then kids (after marriage). Sounds like common sense, but you know how that goes...

Dale Jackson is a thought leader for Yellowhammer News and hosts a talk show from 5-9 a.m. weekdays on WVNN.

Life is too short to spend another beautiful day fighting a war with yourself

It has been my philosophy of life that difficulties vanish when faced boldly.

You can’t start reading the second chapter of your life if you’re too busy re-reading the last one.

When I’m good, I’m best; when I’m bad, I’m worst.

Never regret the mistakes you make. They’re proof that you’re trying.

My friend list is small because quality matters over quantity.

Not always available try your luck.
