11 of my Senate colleagues & I sent a letter to @CMSGov @BrooksLaSureCMS to encourage CMS to appeal a recent District Court ruling & continue the Low Wage Index Hospital Policy. If not, the flawed AWI methodology could eventually cause hospitals to close. https://t.co/XSj5ZyU43W — PolitiTweet.org

The @SECGov's proposed climate disclosure rule is inappropriate and unnecessary. I joined my @BankingGOP colleagues in warning Chairman Gensler about the significant cost and burden that this rule would have on consumers, workers, and businesses. https://t.co/oB564buabW — PolitiTweet.org

With the news of the tragic loss of life last night in Vestavia, my prayers are with the family and friends of the victims and the entire Vestavia Hills community. Grateful to all of the first responders involved. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Shelby @SenShelby

Proud to see @ChildrensAL was named the top pediatric hospital in the Southeast by @USNews. The Birmingham-based pediatric acute care hospital provides exceptional inpatient and outpatient care. It's great to see this hospital get the recognition it deserves. Congratulations! — PolitiTweet.org

Happy birthday, @USArmy! Grateful for the hardworking men and women in the Army who help defend our nation today and every day. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Shelby @SenShelby

I remain gravely concerned that inflation continues to run rampant, with reports showing yet another 40-year high. With record rent, food, and gasoline prices, American families and workers are hurting. @POTUS and the @FederalReserve must take responsibility for their inaction. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Shelby @SenShelby

Pleased that @NFWFnews and @NOAA have awarded #DauphinIsland $3M to help restore Aloe Bay's shoreline habitat and increase its resiliency. This project aims to mitigate damage from future storms and restore native marsh and oyster habitat. Great news for AL's coast. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Shelby @SenShelby

Today I reviewed the FY23 request for the @USNationalGuard and Reserves during a defense appropriations hearing. From responding to COVID, hurricanes, and wildfires to safeguarding our border, these men and women have served our country with distinction. https://t.co/fy9Ge6Tl2D https://t.co/kAcpZUWP0q — PolitiTweet.org

78 years ago, the #GreatestGeneration made history by storming the beaches of Normandy, beginning the liberation of Europe from German control. Those heroes stood strong and fought for what was right. On #DDay, we remember their bravery and honor their legacy. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Shelby @SenShelby

Pleased that the @USGAO Space Command report reiterates what the IG report said last month. The @USAirForce followed strict criteria when they evaluated and selected Huntsville. I agree that Huntsville was the right pick for the job. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Shelby @SenShelby

In honor of the men & women in uniform who have fallen for our freedom, each year we remember and pay tribute to their selfless sacrifice. We can never repay them, but we should always take the time to recognize their bravery and commitment to this great nation. #MemorialDay2022 https://t.co/V9HOvNJr6q — PolitiTweet.org

.@USDOT awarded the Alabama and Tennessee River Railway $5M for a series of improvements between Birmingham and Guntersville. This project will be instrumental in providing safe, efficient transportation of goods and services along the railway system and alleviating car traffic. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Shelby @SenShelby

Today I reviewed the @USNavy and @USMC FY23 budget request during a defense appropriations subcommittee hearing. The Navy and Marine Corps play a critical role in the defense of our nation. I thank Admiral Gilday and General Berger for their kind words. https://t.co/fAqdEzVkX4 https://t.co/fsEAPYtm4c — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Shelby @SenShelby

Pleased to have helped @TeamRWB kick off the #OldGloryRelay to @TWG2022 in Birmingham. This is an incredible opportunity to honor our veterans and show the world all that Alabama has to offer. Best of luck to the relay participants and The World Games’ athletes competing in July! — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Shelby @SenShelby

The news of the violent loss of 15 innocent lives in Uvalde, Texas, is devastating and unimaginable. My thoughts and prayers are with the families of the victims, the children, the school, and the local law enforcement and officials. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Shelby @SenShelby

Recent aggressive actions by Mexico's President & Mexican officials threaten centuries-long economic cooperation & diplomatic ties between the US & Mexico. Their mistreatment of American companies operating in Mexico, such as Vulcan Materials, is wrong. President Biden must act. https://t.co/gY4StLFXK1 — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Shelby @SenShelby

Alabama, today is an important day in our state – primary election day! I urge you to head to the polls to exercise your right to vote. This election is up to the people of #Alabama. Don’t forget to cast your ballot today. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Shelby @SenShelby

I joined 19 of my @SenateGOP colleagues in urging the Secretary of @CommerceGov to stop delaying permits for existing oil and gas leases. These delays are costly and unnecessary. We should be doing everything we can to lower gas prices and ramp up our energy independence. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Shelby @SenShelby

I enjoyed meeting with @North_Alabama President @Ken_Kitts and others from the University yesterday afternoon. It was great to hear about UNA’s growing enrollment and the many ways they ready their students to be an integral part of Alabama's workforce. Go Lions! https://t.co/Ds26qvWPzX — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Shelby @SenShelby

Very proud to see #Huntsville, Alabama, has been rated the nation's best place to live by @USNews. The #RocketCity boasts a strong job market coupled with competitive salaries, affordable housing, excellent schools, and major opportunities for success. Living there can't be beat. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Shelby @SenShelby

Major news from @USDA: Later this month, ag producers who suffered significant crop losses due to natural disasters in 2020 & 2021 will begin receiving pre-filled applications to register for emergency relief. Simply sign the forms and submit them to a local FSA county office. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Shelby @SenShelby

Sat down this week with @ULALaunch CEO @ToryBruno to talk about the important manufacturing and assembly work done in their #Decatur factory. Alabama serves a major role in the space and rocket industry. I'm proud to know that our workforce is the best for the job. #MadeinAlabama https://t.co/80sDceioVS — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Shelby @SenShelby

This week, I met with @AirbusInTheUS CEO Jeff Knittel. We discussed their growing presence in #Alabama & their decision to add a third final assembly line at its #Mobile factory. This expansion project will create 1,000 new jobs. It's great to see companies thrive in AL. https://t.co/lqMYNDGbhv — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Shelby @SenShelby

It’s a shame that the Ukraine military and humanitarian relief has been held up in the U.S. Senate. Ukrainians are fighting for their lives and their freedom against the Russians. We need to help them now. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Shelby @SenShelby

Today, I voted no on the reconfirmation of Jay Powell to be Chairman of the @FederalReserve. American families are facing rampant inflation and historically high prices. Powell and the rest of the Fed have failed the American people. We should not reward failure. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Shelby @SenShelby

I'll be supporting the Ukraine Supplemental, and it should receive broad bipartisan support. We succeeded in eliminating the unrelated funding & controversial legislative provisions – and secured funds to ensure that our own munitions stocks remain intact. https://t.co/mbdpuzw4iT — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Shelby @SenShelby

I'm pleased that @USDOT recognizes the importance of investing in Alabama's rapidly growing aviation industry. I look forward to seeing how this $12.5 million helps many of our airports better serve their communities and contribute to local economies. https://t.co/p6qaM9O4Fh — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Shelby @SenShelby

Some excellent news for Alabama: @Novelis is planning to build a $2.5 Billion high-tech aluminum mill in #BaldwinCounty, which is expected to bring 1,000 jobs to the area. This considerable investment will be immensely beneficial for the region's economy and its residents. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Shelby @SenShelby

This is good news and reaffirms what I have already known to be true: that the Air Force selected Huntsville based on merit and that Huntsville is the best place for Space Command to call home. https://t.co/Wbwepjz0Cp — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Shelby @SenShelby

Last Friday, the @federalreserve reported inflation hitting another 40-year-high. This is the fourth quarter under the current administration that economic growth has underperformed expectations. It’s clear that President Biden’s policies have derailed our economy. — PolitiTweet.org
