December 5: Republican Sen. Jeff Flake, who's been adamantly opposed to Republican Alabama Senate hopeful Roy Moore, posted a photo Tuesday of a check with his signature on it that was addressed to Moore's Democratic rival, Doug Jones.
Flake's Twitter account posted the image of the $100 check along with the caption, "Country over Party."

December 11: Former President Barack Obama is making an eleventh-hour bid for Democrat Doug Jones in the Alabama Senate race against Republican Roy Moore, CNN reports. "This one's serious," the former president says in a robocall to voters ahead of Tuesday's election. "You can't sit it out."
Obama's decision to get involved pits him directly against President Trump, who has also added his voice to the high-profile race in recent weeks. The Alabama election has divided the country as even many Republicans have rejected Moore as a candidate, due to a number of women who accused him of pursuing them while they were teenagers.

December 13: America is a young country. We measure our history in decades, sometimes minutes. Last night, history changed when Alabama elected a Democrat, senator Doug Jones, for the first time in 25 years.
Jones defeated Roy Moore in a heated election. Moore, who has been accused of sexual abuse and child molestation, has a long track record of saying offensive things–including that America was “great” during the era of slavery. Meanwhile, Alabama citizens whose ancestors were slaves and likely did not experience that era as “great,” still live in the shadow of civil war monuments.
