Looks like things are heating up in the Alabama Senate! State Senator Arthur Orr (R-Decatur) predicts a showdown for the final days of the 2025 legislative session. After Republicans invoked cloture – their legislative super-weapon – on six bills, Democrats are threatening a full-blown filibuster. Senator Rodger Smitherman (D-Birmingham) warned colleagues to brace for a never-ending filibuster. Orr confirmed this suspicion, stating they knew this day was coming, maybe even a bit earlier than anticipated. Orr suggests Republicans might have to use cloture on every single bill, motion, and procedural item moving forward. Translation? Lots of legislation could bite the dust, but the GOP plans to "gut it out" until the session ends. A bill concerning the Birmingham Water Works Board, sponsored by State Sens. Jabo Waggoner and Dan Roberts, appears to be a major point of contention. With time ticking, the House needs to pass the education trust fund budget, and the Senate needs to tackle the general fund budget. Plus, there's talk of revisiting those tax cut proposals passed by the House last month. Even the budget vote is expected to require cloture. Orr claims Democrats are opting for obstruction over debate. He emphasizes that the Republican supermajority will use its power to "sit them down" if necessary. Lt. Gov. Will Ainsworth seems ready for action, even joking about the damage done to his gavel while trying to maintain order during fiery exchanges.Alabama Senate: Gridlock Alert!

Looks like Alabama loves Senator Katie Britt! Morning Consult's latest poll shows she's rockin' a super impressive 30% net approval rating. A whopping 53% of folks approve of her performance, while only 23% disapprove. That makes her disapproval rating the THIRD lowest in the whole country! Plus, her net approval ranks 10th out of all 100 Senators. Not too shabby, right? Senator Tommy Tuberville is still pretty popular too, with 52% approval and 32% disapproval. Alabama clearly likes what its Senators are doing! And get this - recent FEC reports show Senator Britt's also a fundraising queen! By the end of Q1 2025, she had over $4.5 million in the bank. That's serious cheddar! Senator Tuberville, amidst rumors of a possible gubernatorial run, reported over $600,000. Something to keep in mind, those funds are for a federal campaign, not a run for Governor.Senator Britt's Star Still Rising in Alabama!
