Pleased that @AthensState was awarded a $650K @NSF grant to increase STEM degree completion in undergraduate students. This will help with recruitment, retention, academic success, & graduation rates of academically-skilled transfer students in STEM fields.https://t.co/MozlpCOALR — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Shelby @SenShelby

I joined a bipartisan letter urging OMB to abandon its proposed change to how Metropolitan Statistical Areas are defined – which could have a detrimental impact on the amount of federal funding cities across AL receive. Proud to help ensure that this designation remains the same. https://t.co/KBJ2G5nFN3 — PolitiTweet.org

Pleased that today's Green Run hot fire test of the @NASA_SLS core stage was successful and informative - another important milestone in our return to the moon. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Shelby @SenShelby

Reintroduced legislation today to require the fed govt to balance a budget – something hardworking Americans do every day. I hope Congress adopts this common-sense amendment, improving our spending of taxpayer dollars & restoring confidence in our economy. https://t.co/FOjPIzi09X — PolitiTweet.org

Alabamians, as this severe weather persists, I urge you to remain vigilant & prepared. Please be sure to monitor the forecast & take the necessary precautions, such as establishing multiple ways to get weather updates, having an appropriate plan, & identifying your shelter. #alwx — PolitiTweet.org

As we state in the letter, “the President’s actions directly contributed to this unfortunate, yet entirely avoidable, scenario,” and are “a blatant violation of federal law and infringe on Congress’s constitutional power of the purse.” — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Shelby @SenShelby

I joined 39 of my @SenateGOP colleagues in sending a letter, led by @SenCapito, to @USGAO regarding @POTUS’s unlawful suspension of border wall funding and construction, and how those actions have directly contributed to the crisis at our southern border. https://t.co/jwsEN5HHXE — PolitiTweet.org

Pleased that HomTex, a #CullmanCounty textile manufacturer, received @US_FDA’s greenlight for its Level 1 Surgical masks. This secures the growing Alabama company's entry into the PPE market, which is also on track to open a plant in Selma, resulting in 300 new jobs. #MadeinAL — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Shelby @SenShelby

This week in the Senate, I cosponsored legislation to repeal the #DeathTax, which is an unfair tax that makes it more difficult for hardworking farms & small businesses to stay in the family. It's important that we ease the burden on these family businesses, not exacerbate it. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Shelby @SenShelby

I look forward to working with the Consortium, including the @UofSouthAlabama, @UofAlabama, @AuburnU, and @ALPublicHealth, to ensure that innovative solutions are identified & a more resilient sustainable wastewater infrastructure is constructed throughout the region. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Shelby @SenShelby

Pleased to announce that an AL Consortium has been granted a $4.85M Rural Water & Wastewater Treatment award by @USDA. This funding will help strengthen wastewater treatment to improve public health & economic development, specifically in the Black Belt. https://t.co/aGIK9N20VN — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Shelby @SenShelby

Pleased with the progress at the Port of Mobile. The deepening & widening of the Mobile Harbor will increase #Alabama’s global competitiveness, create jobs throughout the state, and serve as a catalyst for economic opportunities. @AlabamaPortAuth — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Shelby @SenShelby

I am disappointed that we were blocked at every turn from engaging and passing real COVID relief in a bipartisan, targeted manner, just like the Senate did five times last year. https://t.co/PCUwhz0CR8 — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Shelby @SenShelby

The bill does nothing to get kids back in classrooms and, instead, includes a massive cash bailout for some mismanaged states and local governments. This is unacceptable. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Shelby @SenShelby

Not only does it cost American taxpayers over a trillion dollars, but only 9% of the funding in the bill goes toward the immediate fight against COVID and 1% toward vaccines. Dems are forcing a liberal wish list of pet projects through Congress that's masked as a rescue package. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Shelby @SenShelby

Today I voted against the Dems' $1.9 trillion COVID bill for several reasons. This legislation includes a host of non-COVID-related left-wing policies and could further wreck the economy and ignite inflation. https://t.co/PCUwhz0CR8 — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Shelby @SenShelby

These @AlabamaFTBL athletes & coaches demonstrated tremendous fortitude, ending the season 13-0. The team went 11-0 in conference play, becoming the first team in college football history to win 11 @SEC games in a season, & averaged 48.5 points per game – the most in SEC history. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Shelby @SenShelby

The Senate has passed my resolution commending the @UofAlabama Crimson Tide on winning the 2021 @NCAA College Football Nat'l Championship – the 18th Nat'l Championship for @AlabamaFTBL, and 6th in the last 11 years. I’m proud to formally recognize this achievement. #RollTide https://t.co/xnYt50KVNq — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Shelby @SenShelby

Last year, the Senate worked together 5 times to pass bipartisan, targeted COVID relief to help combat the pandemic and get Americans' lives back to normal. This year, Democrats are pushing a partisan $1.9 trillion package filled with unrelated, self-serving liberal priorities. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Shelby @SenShelby

This COVID relief package is partisan & non-targeted. In fact, 90% of Dems’ COVID relief package is unrelated to COVID. Instead, Democrats want to expand Obamacare subsidies, push harmful economic policies, & fund blue state bailouts, Planned Parenthood, union pensions, & more. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Shelby @SenShelby

In Democrats’ massive $1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief package, very little is actually related to the pandemic. In fact, less than 9% of Democrats’ proposal would go to the core healthcare fight against COVID-19, and less than 1% deals with vaccinations. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Shelby @SenShelby

Last year, Congress appropriated $68 billion in COVID-related funds for K-12 schools. Of that, only $5 billion has been spent. Schools have the resources to reopen and science has shown that it's safe to do so with simple precautions that we can accomplish right now. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Shelby @SenShelby

FAA selected Huntsville Intl Airport to host a UAS Test Site to evaluate drone detection & mitigation systems. @FlyHSV, in partnership with @UAHuntsville, will work to foster new technologies that'll make airports safer for passengers & aircraft. Excellent decision & great news. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Shelby @SenShelby

Today I questioned Gary Gensler, POTUS's SEC nominee, about the importance of utilizing economic analysis when proposing and adopting rules within the SEC. Identifying the potential benefits and costs of a regulation is essential in determining if it is in the public interest. https://t.co/cP1rDXtxhs — PolitiTweet.org

A grant of nearly $745K has been awarded to Physicians Care of Clarke in #ClarkeCounty. This investment will increase their telehealth capacity through the installation of telemedicine carts and videoconferencing equipment at each clinic. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Shelby @SenShelby

$790K has been awarded to @CahabaMedical to fund teleconferencing equipment in central Alabama. This grant will enable the foundation to offer distance learning for its family medicine residency programs, which help graduates achieve licensure or board certification. #Centreville — PolitiTweet.org
