Hold onto your hats, ChumCity! Things got WILD in Montgomery on Tuesday! An agent from the Attorney General's office was just trying to serve a bond revocation warrant when BAM! They were allegedly threatened with FIREARMS. Naturally, things escalated quickly! The agent called for backup, and a whole heap of law enforcement agencies answered the call. We're talking Montgomery PD, ALEA - the whole shebang! Reportedly, a man and a woman were confronted. The Attorney General’s office says the dude decided to play Houdini, running into a house and then trying to escape out the back. But the cops were on him like white on rice! After what's being described as a "brief standoff" in a backyard on E. Second Street, complete with less-than-lethal munitions, he was finally cuffed. The man is facing charges for menacing and attempting to elude the long arm of the law, while the woman had outstanding warrants for... you guessed it, menacing! And the identities of these alleged wrongdoers? Still under wraps! We'll keep you posted as we dig up more dirt!Montgomery Mayhem: Guns Drawn on AG Agent!

Alabama fans, get ready! With the season just around the corner, we've got a fresh face under center for the first time in ages. Ty Simpson's been patiently waiting, and now it's his time to shine in what's a HUGE year for Kalen DeBoer. Simpson's been a part of the rollercoaster from Saban to DeBoer, and he recently tapped into some classic Saban wisdom to prepare for his debut. Before taking the field, Simpson sought guidance from none other than the GOAT himself on handling the pressure. Saban's advice? Keep it simple, stupid! Okay, maybe not those exact words, but the message was clear: "Play within myself," Simpson relayed. "Make sure you keep your team out of negative plays and negative drives. He always said that if you end the drive with a kick... then you’re in good shape." Sounds like Simpson's got the right mindset. It definitely doesn't hurt to have Saban in his corner, offering up gold nuggets of football wisdom before the biggest game of his life. Roll Tide!Tide's New QB Gets Sage Advice

Alabama Senator Katie Britt is riding high after spearheading a major overhaul of federal child care tax credits! These reforms, championed by Britt in President Trump's Working Family Tax Cuts, are being hailed as a game-changer for families across the country. Britt locked in long-term improvements to the Child and Dependent Care Tax Credit (CDCTC), the Dependent Care Assistance Program (DCAP), and the Employer-Provided Child Care Tax Credit (45F). Get this: it's the first time these programs have been updated in decades, despite soaring child care costs (up a whopping 263% since 2001 for some!). This update means nearly 4 million working families are about to see some sweet tax relief! Parents can now stash away up to $7,500 in pre-tax flexible spending accounts, that's a 50% jump from the 1986 cap. Plus, employers (even the little guys) get bigger incentives to offer child care, helping them attract and keep top talent. "I’m not setting down the mantle," Britt declared. "I’m going to continue to carry it...this is monumental." Major news outlets are buzzing about the significance of these reforms. Some are calling it one of the most important family policy wins in recent memory. Others are highlighting the unusual bipartisan support and praising Britt's leadership. This overhaul is the biggest permanent change to child care tax policy in over 20 years, built on bipartisan work led by Britt. Business leaders are thrilled, saying affordable child care is crucial for a strong workforce. Education advocates agree: access to quality child care sets kids up for success! A big win for Alabama and the nation!Katie Britt Scores Big Win for Working Families!

With Alabama's counties and municipalities booming, Stubbs is eager to leverage his new position to boost their success. He served six years on the Elmore County Commission before joining the House.

Looking Ahead
Okay, ChumCity citizens, let's talk politics! You know the drill: Democrats launch a billboard blitz with claims that raise eyebrows (and maybe a blood pressure or two). Then, BAM! The media pounces, grilling their targets about these very claims, giving the whole shebang a life of its own. Seriously, is anyone surprised? Even Nancy Pelosi herself has spilled the tea on this tactic. Yet, the media keeps playing its part, amplifying the... well, let's call them "interpretations" for now. Catch Dale Jackson, the brains behind Yellowhammer News and host of WVNN's morning show (5-9 a.m. weekdays), for some clear-headed analysis. He cuts through the noise!Dems, Billboards, and the Media Merry-Go-Round
