Pleased with @DOTMARAD's decision to invest in two Alabama Gulf Coast shipyards, Steiner Shipbuilding and Master Boat Builders. The two grants, nearly $1M in total, will help increase performance capacity and create growth opportunities at both shipyards. — PolitiTweet.org

Today, I joined all 11 of my @BankingGOP colleagues in expressing concern with reports that the Biden Administration is pressuring banks to make energy-related lending commitments. Such actions could distort capital allocation, raise energy costs, and slow economic growth. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Shelby @SenShelby

Disappointed that Dems are trying to pass another package under false pretenses. Less than 6% of this $2.3T “infrastructure plan” will go toward America's roads & bridges. The rest is full of unrelated policies & tax hikes that will cost jobs, cut wages, & slash economic growth. — PolitiTweet.org

Mark your calendars – @Outdoor_Alabama just announced the dates for 2021's #RedSnapper season. Beginning May 28, private vessel anglers can enjoy four-day weekends open for fishing in state and federal waters. Wishing everyone a safe and successful season. https://t.co/OICPg9FdJ9 — PolitiTweet.org

Today, the Ingenuity #MarsHelicopter, named by Vaneeza Rupani of Northport, #Alabama, made history by becoming the first aircraft to make a powered, controlled flight on another planet. This monumental feat is excellent news for the future of space exploration. — PolitiTweet.org

Talk is cheap, but defending our country is not. We can't afford to fail in our constitutional responsibility to provide for the common defense. — PolitiTweet.org

Today I joined @LeaderMcConnell, Senator @JimInhofe, Senator Rubio, and Senator Graham in highlighting the dangers of President Biden’s FY22 defense budget request. Our joint statement: https://t.co/4plcidHcLs — PolitiTweet.org

Very sad to learn that one of the Capitol Police officers has succumb to his injuries. Praying for the officer’s family and loved ones, and for the entire Capitol Police family. — PolitiTweet.org

My wife, Annette, and I are praying for the Capitol Police officers who were injured today. Thank you to the all of the officers and National Guardsmen who are working to keep the Capitol complex safe. Very grateful for your protection today and every day. — PolitiTweet.org

Happy birthday, @SenatorLeahy. Grateful for our longstanding friendship and willingness to work together on the Senate Appropriations Committee. Looking forward to another productive year. — PolitiTweet.org

Pleased that 20 airports throughout Alabama will benefit from more than $11.2M in @FAAnews grants. These @USDOT funds will help airports receive the upgrades and enhancements needed to continue serving local communities and driving economic development. https://t.co/amCDQCO8Qc — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Shelby @SenShelby

Today I sent a letter to @Amtrak, @CSX, @nscorp, & Surface Transportation Board stating that a data-driven process is essential prior to starting new passenger rail in Mobile. A comprehensive study would alleviate concerns re how the new service could impact growth in the area. https://t.co/aV886rim9I — PolitiTweet.org

Further, S.1 would allow the use of taxpayer dollars for political campaigns. I vehemently oppose this bill and urge every one of my colleagues in Congress to do the same. This legislation would have dangerous implications on the future of our democracy. 3/3 — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Shelby @SenShelby

Not only would S.1 give unelected, ultraliberal Washington bureaucrats the ability to control how Alabama conducts its elections, but it would open doors to fraud and have a devastating impact on our freedom of speech. 2/3 — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Shelby @SenShelby

S.1 is a blatant power grab in an effort to force a federalized election system on the entire country. 1/3 — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Shelby @SenShelby

In 2016, I worked to have Congress fund this $10 million, state-of-the-art study & I'm very pleased with its results. The Gulf's "Great Red Snapper Count" revealed 110 million red snapper, approximately three times more than previously estimated. This is fantastic news. — PolitiTweet.org

Pleased that @ARCgov granted @AthensAL $750K for the installation of new sewer infrastructure to the Huntsville-Browns Ferry Rd Interchange on I-65.

Today is #NationalAgDay! In Alabama, agriculture has a significant impact on our economy and I am grateful for the families & farms that make it possible. The industry boasts an economic output of $92.8B, thanks to the nearly 600,000 dedicated men & women. https://t.co/4LQHkWGXup — PolitiTweet.org
