That's why @JimInhofe and I filed an amendment today to the Endless Frontier Act that would provide dollar-for-dollar parity between increases to defense and non-defense spending. More information: https://t.co/ESGwfDESX0 — PolitiTweet.org

The best deterrent to Chinese ambition & aggression is a strong & feared American military. Providing the funding increases our military needs to counter this growing threat must be our top priority. Instead POTUS wants to cut defense$ while increasing non-defense$ by nearly 20%. — PolitiTweet.org

In a Senate Appropriations hearing today, I questioned leaders from our National Guard and Reserve forces regarding the resources they need to remain a ready and lethal force. More info here: https://t.co/M7CAF7rOFw — PolitiTweet.org

Some good news: @NSF has awarded @TuskegeeUniv nearly $1M to fund and host hands-on training programs intended to boost interest in STEM and provide opportunities for minority high school students to gain technical experience and education in STEM-related fields. — PolitiTweet.org

Today, I re-introduced the SMART Act to establish a flat tax. Our nation’s current tax code is complex and costly. With my bill, Americans could expect an immediate tax cut for nearly all taxpayers and a reduction in size and scope of the IRS. https://t.co/AUirRsMaeG — PolitiTweet.org

These men and women made the ultimate sacrifice to protect us, putting our safety above their own. During #NationalPoliceWeek, we pay tribute to these brave heroes. We owe our fallen officers a great debt of gratitude and my sincerest condolences remain with their loved ones. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Shelby @SenShelby

Yesterday, I cosponsored a resolution that passed in the Senate honoring the observance of #NationalPoliceWeek, and commemorated the 306 law enforcement officers who lost their lives in the line of duty during 2020, four of whom were from Alabama. https://t.co/V7kMrbfAp0 — PolitiTweet.org

Today @SenTuberville and I introduced legislation to establish the Alabama Black Belt National Heritage Area. This designation for the Black Belt would highlight the region’s many assets, while helping generate tourism and economic activity. https://t.co/istEh6ffIC — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Shelby @SenShelby

Today I sent @SecMayorkas a letter about his denial on ‘catch and release,’ which contradicts @DHSgov data. I have asked him to clarify the discrepancy between his testimony at this morning’s Approps hearing & the information provided by his Department. https://t.co/pwkOomYLHl — PolitiTweet.org

FAA has awarded $12.28M in grant funding to improve airports – both large and small – throughout Alabama, paving the way for growth and increased investment in rural areas. This allows the 12 airports to continue serving communities & driving development. https://t.co/p98I6Qn1KA — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Shelby @SenShelby

Pleased @USDA_NIFA awarded @TuskegeeUniv a 1890 Center of Excellence grant to help address profitability, sustainability & prosperity challenges of small farmers, ranchers & forestland owners, with an emphasis on socially disadvantaged & underserved farmers in AL & the Southeast. — PolitiTweet.org

This morning, @SenCapito and I sent a letter to @USGAO to correct the Biden Administration’s false or misleading claims regarding its unlawful actions to freeze border wall funding and construction. Link to the full letter and more details: https://t.co/xzSG0VCo8Z — PolitiTweet.org

Domestic violent extremists threaten the rule of law. But so too does turning a blind eye to the flood of illegal immigration at our southern border. My full remarks from the Senate Appropriations hearing this morning: https://t.co/7rzBCNYSrK — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Shelby @SenShelby

The rule of law – the very foundation upon which America was built – is paramount to our future as Americans and the future of our democracy. Selective enforcement of our nation’s laws erodes that foundation. https://t.co/uv6xOgZuji — PolitiTweet.org

RT @RoyBlunt: We should be focused on making it easier to vote and harder to cheat. S.1 would make it easier to cheat and harder to detect. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Shelby @SenShelby

My 2nd amdt to S.1, the 'Democrat Politician Protection Act,' would strike Section 4111, which attempts to regulate a new category of speech. This section infringes on our First Amendment rights and would prohibit speech that is constitutionally protected. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Shelby @SenShelby

Today at the Rules Cmte markup of S.1, I offered an amendment to strike Section 1611, which would require mandatory early voting for all states – a liberal one-size-fits-all federal mandate. This would be costly for states and localities, & would have a minimal impact on turnout. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Shelby @SenShelby

Not only would S.1 tip the scales in favor of Democrats, but it would also force a one-size-fits-all election mandate on every state and locality. This is extremely concerning for all Americans. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Shelby @SenShelby

S.1 - Democrats' election bill - is a liberal attempt to have federal officials control all elections across the country. Its dangerous policies will make our elections less fair and less secure. — PolitiTweet.org

In honor of #TeacherAppreciationDay, I would like to extend my thanks to all hardworking educators. My wife, Annette, taught for many years, and I have witnessed firsthand the impact teachers have on our future generations. We are forever indebted to them. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Shelby @SenShelby

President Biden has nominated David Chipman to be Director of @ATFHQ. As a longtime gun control activist, he has advocated for policies that would be a direct assault on the 2nd Amendment. If confirmed, his appointment would threaten the constitutional rights of all gun owners. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Shelby @SenShelby

Tonight’s address from President Biden was focused on drastically changing the country, but instead of reaching across the aisle to find ways to work together, this Administration is prioritizing liberal policies and a partisan agenda. My full statement: https://t.co/lG2bI2QZJF — PolitiTweet.org

Ten years ago today, our state suffered tragic loss and destruction from the tornadoes that swept through the South. My wife, Annette, and I will never forget the lives lost and all those left grieving. A decade later, Alabama continues to showcase its resiliency. #27April10yr — PolitiTweet.org
