I led the AL delegation in a letter to the STB as it considers mandating passenger service on the Gulf Coast – which, without the necessary data & infrastructure improvements, threatens to significantly impact Mobile’s Port & related freight rail traffic. https://t.co/wDz7R7ACON — PolitiTweet.org

Cogongrass is a harmful invasive species that has been spreading across AL’s native vegetation. I'm pleased there is a program in place to assist landowners in mitigating the damaging effects cogongrass has inflicted on private land in Alabama. Read more: https://t.co/pO2UqEfIBJ — PolitiTweet.org

The Holocaust was one of the darkest times in history. We will never forget the 6 million Jewish victims who were senselessly murdered, and we must vow to ensure something like that never happens again. #NeverAgain #HolocaustRemembranceDay — PolitiTweet.org

In order to preserve the unbiased oversight of the banking industry, Congress must protect the independence of the @FDICgov. Proud to cosponsor a bill that would take meaningful action toward restoring public confidence in the FDIC & maintaining its impartial, nonpartisan nature. — PolitiTweet.org

Pleased to join my colleagues in urging the Biden Administration to reverse its unfair national liver distribution policy. As we note in our letter, the liver allocation decision was fundamentally flawed, and the body charged with carrying it out is systematically broken. — PolitiTweet.org

It’s always a pleasure to engage in a friendly wager with my fellow Republican colleague, @senrobportman -- especially when the Tide comes out on top. Cincinnati’s @GoBearcatsFB gave it a good run, but now it’s Graeter’s ice cream time. Thanks for being a great sport, Rob! https://t.co/F47KPONmzy — PolitiTweet.org

I want to thank former longtime @BankingGOP counsel & @SECGov Commissioner Elad Roisman for his yrs of service. Elad has served an important role in supporting & enhancing our nation’s financial system. I urge @POTUS to swiftly nominate a likeminded conservative to fill his seat. — PolitiTweet.org
