| 1641183485388832769 | "Every time she’s been asked, Ivey has thrown up her hands and asked where’s the matching money [for Medicaid expansion], like we’re asking her to turn water into wine. Now it’s clear that wasn’t merely an excuse," @WarOnDumb writes. "It was a lie, too." https://t.co/SMxnDmi9p1 | 41 |
| 1638733168198164480 | Some great reads about Alabama's addiction to mass incarceration & its intersection with cruelty & corruption. @WarOnDumb writes about the mega-prison scam that smells a lot like a stinky sewer scandal of the past that landed some officials in prison. 1/2 https://t.co/YXP0iMnjoV | 41 |
| 1639619502542315523 | You heard it from @aldotcom first. Gov. Kay Ivey's office has proposed using $25 million in education funding for Montgomery's struggling water park project. By @WarOnDumb https://t.co/WrSqZRtmFZ | 31 |
| 1640353005571547142 | "Rather than shoot straight, Kay Ivey tried to take us for a ride," columnist @WarOnDumb writes. "Now she’s going to get an educational opportunity, instead." https://t.co/iNQ2bjYebZ | 11 |
| 1640338219165265921 | @WarOnDumb @audiomagnate If your state has a $2B education surplus you’re clearly not paying your educators and staff properly. | 10 |
| 1638684514418561025 | "We’re looking at a year-to-year increase of 54% while overall inflation has been a little less than 7%," @WarOnDumb writes on Alabama prison building costs. "Even with higher jumps in some sectors, inflation alone doesn’t explain what’s happened here." https://t.co/23YysrcwYH | 10 |
| 1639987418261602308 | @WarOnDumb When asked to defend her decision, Gov. Kay Ivey looked wistfully past the reporters and smiled, “Because I learned more about life in one summer, working at that rafting park, than I did in my four years at Wilcox Central High School“ | 9 |
| 1640686763491438596 | @WarOnDumb Gives that school-to-prison pipeline in a whole new context. | 9 |
| 1640730492541566979 | "How the state would build a second prison after spending $1 billion on the first was a head-scratcher," columnist @WarOnDumb writes. "There would only be $300 million left from last year’s allocation. Now we know where some of that might come from." https://t.co/vdTkuT9VGG | 9 |
