December 31, 2025 – MONTGOMERY – 2025 is about to fade into memory. 2025 had a lot of familiar faces making news. The Alabama Gazette reminisces on the biggest stories it covered during the year.

When Senator Tommy Tuberville talks about national defense, he often frames it through a simple lens: America's security is only as strong as the innovation behind it.

We got to experience a warm Christmas this year but looks like it will be a big change to a frigid New Year's! Of course, New Year's celebrations bring fireworks, and fireworks and pets just don't mix. So please keep your pets secure (and warm) inside your home on New Year's Eve and perhaps even the evening/night of the 1st. Far too many pets end up lost from their fear of fireworks and not all make it home safe. Whether inside or not, also make sure your pet has a collar and its rabies tag at...
