Celebrating attacking opressed children with hoses and german shepards is pretty fricking abhorrent.
I would counter with don't send your fricking kids into the middle of the streets to protest.

Why is that? The kids were also being brutally oppressed. Their parents are more than likely working. They organized at a church (the 16th street Baptist if that means anything to your unedcuated brain cell), it's not like these kids were wild fricking terrorists.
Any perspective that includes Bull Connor being anything but morally repugnant for brutally attacking children protesting the segregation they suffered from is disgusting.

BINGO!
Ainsworth found out Tuberville was running and had no interest in competing with him. Although I'm firmly convinced Ainsworth would have been a good Governor, he was probably smart to invest all that energy running a probable losing race.

Because your right to redress the government doesn't give you the right to fricking stop everybody else from exercising theirs.

Lots of folks gunnin for that senate seat

Names I've heard, so far, are Steve Marshall and Twinkle Cavanaugh. I can't imagine Twinkle as senator, and she is a family friend.

Is governor better than senator?
Serious question.

Washington DC must be toxic as heck for a conservative to work in. Is this Tommy saying Get Me Out of Here?

hate to see him leave the Senate.
Same. What was his reasoning to go to ten state level from Senator? Rarely do people leave their Senate seat. So many perks.

Guessing he’s been told by someone to make way for someone else and go take a term-limited position instead. Ainsworth decided he had no interest in governor?
Tuberville originally wanted to be governor to replace Bentley but once Ivey moved in, Tubs saw the Senate seat as the easier path.
Being Governor is more of Tuberville’s style. He’s 1 of 1 instead of 1 of 100. He’s a big fish in a smaller pond with less of a spotlight. He can get attention whenever he wants it but as Ivey has proven, he can go a month or two without even seeing a camera and nobody will care.
Tuberville has a tremendous opportunity. He can leverage his popularity, reputation, and name ID to get things passed that any other governor might balk at. He can DOGE the state government and call out hayseed legislators that might be holding up his agenda. His profile allows him to do a lot of good things and unlike Ivey, Tuberville actually is a conservative. We could finally have a DeSantis like Governor.
But my fear is that Tubershell shows up. He doesn’t enough to get his picture in the paper, gets some basic things passed, and then retires in 9 years with nothing significant passed.

This might be a good place to leave this.

Sweet home Alabama all day every day as opposed to Washington DC.
Alabama is in a good spot right now, but the next couple years will be met with some heavy legislation and pretty dire budget situation. I hope he does well, but it is concerning that he has zero experience navigating the legislature and the system in general.
A generic DOGE-type approach to cut expenses would do more harm than good. There is certainly incompetence within some of the departments, but true improvement would require an intentionally nuanced approach.
