Barry Moore’s congressional office. The protest kicked off what Indivisible Mobile is calling “50 Days of Shame,” part of a nationwide campaign meant to shame federal lawmakers against supporting President Donald Trump’s agenda.

Mobile County Sheriff Paul Burch is steering clear of endorsing anyone for Prichard mayor this summer, but he’s crystal clear on one thing – he is not supporting two-term incumbent Jimmie Gardner.

I'm glad Gulf Shores has @Allegiant to get their airport running, but the past 3 times I've flown this airline, it's been delays and pilots who are unable to fly and an airline that apparently doesn't pre-plan for these things. Horrible experiences of late. Thumbs way down.
