My Democratic colleagues inexplicably blocked a vote on a related defense infrastructure amendment in the infrastructure bill that just passed the Senate. Now it’s time to stand and be counted. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Shelby @SenShelby

We're responsible for providing our Armed Forces what they need to protect us. My amdt helps accomplish that. We’re talking about supporting projects in Alabama, Arizona, Georgia, Virginia, Rhode Island, Connecticut, Maine, California, Hawaii, Maryland, Nevada, New Mexico & more. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Shelby @SenShelby

We need to modernize shipyards, test ranges, depots, & ammunition plants; install 5G technology at military bases; support our nuclear defense infrastructure; & so much more. These infrastructure projects are absolutely critical to our national security & impact millions of jobs. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Shelby @SenShelby

The Senate is now voting on my defense infrastructure amendment to Democrats’ so-called budget proposal. This amendment, which I introduced with @JimInhofe and @SenatorWicker, provides $50.2 billion to meet defense infrastructure needs across this nation. — PolitiTweet.org

If Senate Democrats continue to prioritize a reckless social spending spree and ignore the needs of our Armed Forces, the future of this country will be in jeopardy. https://t.co/mA91U8awg4 — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Shelby @SenShelby

Supporting trillions of taxpayer dollars for other infrastructure & social programs without investing in our national defense is shameful & inexcusable. We are responsible for providing our men & women in uniform what they need to protect us, and this amdt helps accomplish that. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Shelby @SenShelby

Democrats are all too willing to neglect our defense infrastructure needs while spending hand over fist on their liberal wish list. This so-called budget proposal is yet another example of that. https://t.co/e7YFnoRUU5 — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Shelby @SenShelby

I supported @SenToomey cryptocurrency amdt. I know of its importance to innovation & job creation, but I believe it pales in comparison to the security of our nation–which is why I called for a vote on my defense infrastructure amdt. It's unfortunate that Dems blocked both amdts. — PolitiTweet.org

For America to remain strong and prosperous, we must balance funding for the domestic and defense priorities of this nation. https://t.co/YjS0jPEBnY — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Shelby @SenShelby

There is a clear and dangerous pattern here. The recklessness of the Democrats’ domestic spending spree is matched only by their neglect for America’s military. It must stop. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Shelby @SenShelby

This comes on the heels of legislation they claim will combat Chinese aggression but also includes nothing for our military. And now the Democrats are turning to a $3.5 trillion budget that will finance their liberal wish list but drastically shortchange our military once again. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Shelby @SenShelby

It is shameful that this massive infrastructure legislation contains not one dime for our military’s vast infrastructure needs. Not only that, Senate Democrats blocked every attempt to fix this glaring omission. https://t.co/YjS0jPEBnY — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Shelby @SenShelby

Today @JimInhofe, @SenatorWicker, & I highlighted our concerns with the lack of resources for military infrastructure in the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. Our nation’s defense infrastructure needs were ignored in this massive infrastructure bill. https://t.co/UAmr1WCP67 — PolitiTweet.org

I would hope that this would not interfere with our work to grow the Port of Mobile and transform Mobile into one of the top multi-modal transit hubs in the United States. https://t.co/LqD784qnQV — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Shelby @SenShelby

STB’s recent decision calls for further consideration of new passenger rail service on the Gulf Coast. I continue to believe the forthcoming decision should be guided by data, including studies on the service’s impact on economic development & jobs in & around the Port of Mobile. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Shelby @SenShelby

Sending condolences to the family, friends, & colleagues of Snr. Officer George Gonzalez who lost his life in the line of duty on Tuesday. Officer Gonzalez served in the @PFPAOfficial for the past three years, and before that overseas in Iraq. His sacrifice will not be forgotten. — PolitiTweet.org

Today we celebrate 231 years of the @USCG! The men and women of the Coast Guard play a large role in defending and protecting Alabama's shores and beyond. I am grateful for their dedicated service and commitment to our safety. #SemperParatus #AlwaysReady — PolitiTweet.org

Today, my colleagues and I on the Appropriations Committee advanced three important bills that contain funding for #Alabama priorities, including resources for water infrastructure projects, farmers in rural communities, and assistance for our veterans. https://t.co/7lExGFyF0a — PolitiTweet.org

.@NSF has awarded @AuburnU $10M to lead the Southeastern region in a collaborative research project to increase the number of disabled students who complete STEM degrees and enter the respective workforce. This is a national initiative, and I am proud to see Auburn at the helm. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Carl Levin was an honest man who devoted most of his life to his home state of Michigan, where he was the longest-serving senator in history. A two-time chairman of the Armed Services Committee, he prioritized our national security. We send our condolences to his family. — PolitiTweet.org

I urge members of the House to quickly take up this important security supplemental legislation and send it to @POTUS’s desk without further delay. — PolitiTweet.org

It’s past time we provide urgently-needed funding to safeguard the Capitol, ensure @USNationalGuard readiness, and protect our allies in Afghanistan. I am pleased the Senate has advanced this bipartisan bill 98-0 to fund our immediate security needs. https://t.co/I3wdly7BJU — PolitiTweet.org

Madison native, Zach Harting, had a strong showing in the #TokyoOlympics 200m butterfly semifinals – only .06 seconds away from making the finals. A job well done representing #Alabama and #TeamUSA, Zach! — PolitiTweet.org
