“We fully expected them to be up there in a sort of Trump drunk state of praise and worship of Donald Trump, which is exactly what happened,” Figures said at a gathering of the Alabama Democratic Conference Saturday morning in Mobile.
In a separate statement, he said that state Rep. Rhett Marques, his opponent, misrepresented his record. And he continued to try to tie Marques to the impact of high gas prices and tariffs in Alabama.
“Rhett Marques just showed everyone why he’s completely unqualified to represent us in Congress,” Figures said.

Earlier in the evening, U.S. Rep. Barry Moore, who is running for Senate, suggested the same thing. He thinks the bridge should be named “The Gateway to the Gulf of America Donald J. Trump Bridge.”
A groundbreaking ceremony occurred earlier that day. Trump said the project was made possible by $3 billion in funding from the Trump administration.
The I-10 bridge project will be developed in two separate phases. The first phase is expected to be complete by 2031. The second phase remains unfunded and without a construction timeline.

- Description
- A little known fact is that love bugs are actually flies. They are also known as "Honeymoon flies" and the "March fly."These harmless critters emerge and feed on nectar from flowers and participate in large mating flights which often occur in open areas.
In Alabama, some species may have two mating flights a year, while others have only one. Each mating event usually lasts just a week or two. The females lay over 100 eggs and the larvae feed on decaying plant material in the soil. The flies are attracted to heat and the vibration of engines, like on air conditioners and cars.
