Sad to learn of the passing of my friend & former colleague from Georgia, Sen. Johnny Isakson. Johnny’s integrity, support for our veterans, & determination to find solutions will forever be part of his legacy. Annette & I send our condolences to his wife, Dianne, & their family. — PolitiTweet.org

After months of delay by Senate Democrats, I am pleased we have finally passed a defense authorization bill. But the promises in this bill are meaningless without enactment of a defense appropriations bill for FY22. My full statement: https://t.co/vgQUoExumx — PolitiTweet.org

Happy 202nd birthday, #Alabama! #OTD in 1819, Alabama joined the union & became a state. Alabama has since been home to prospering businesses, prestigious schools, nationally-renowned health centers, & an affordable housing market. I'm privileged to represent this great state. — PolitiTweet.org

Whether it's protecting Americans here at home or overseas, the @NationalGuard has worked diligently to keep us safe for 385 years. Happy birthday to the nation's longest-standing military organization and the fighting force that is our National Guard. #Guard385 https://t.co/zI2zjDUPwr — PolitiTweet.org

I urge Republicans and Democrats to denounce this blatant attack on the independence and integrity of the @FDICgov. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Shelby @SenShelby

For 88 years, the @FDICgov has served a vital role in protecting our financial system. @ChopraCFPB’s unprecedented actions to circumvent Chairman McWilliams aim to politicize a historically bipartisan FDIC board and threaten the productive operation & impartiality of the agency. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Shelby @SenShelby

I agree with @SecDef, which is why I hope Dems in the House & Senate will reinstate the Shelby-Leahy process that resulted in the Pentagon getting its only on-time budget in the last decade. Time is wasting & our brave men & women in uniform shouldn’t be pawns in a partisan game. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Shelby @SenShelby

As I’ve said before, President Biden’s vaccine mandate violates our constitutional liberties and is federal overreach at its finest. Today I was proud to vote for @SenatorBraun's CRA to overturn that mandate. https://t.co/vlUGyiNZk2 — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Shelby @SenShelby

.@TheJusticeDept @OJPNIJ has awarded the @UofAlabama, in partnership with ADFS and @AlabamaDAA, $4 million for the development of a National Center on Forensics, one of the first of its kind in the United States. This is outstanding news. More info: https://t.co/GrO9OQ4mbK — PolitiTweet.org

I advocated early on that Saule Omarova withdraw her nomination, and I am very relieved to learn that she has done so. Her views are far too radical for someone nominated to serve as our nation’s top banking regulator. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Shelby @SenShelby

Today marks 80 years since our nation suffered a devastating attack on #PearlHarbor. More than 2,400 Americans made the ultimate sacrifice that fateful day in 1941. Let us never forget their courage, and may we forever honor the Greatest Generation. https://t.co/O1dd8YVidd — PolitiTweet.org

Congratulations to @ulalaunch on their most recent success, the 90th launch of the Atlas V Rocket! To date, ULA has launched 147 times, and they boast an impressive 100% mission success rate. This is excellent news and enhances our nation's warfighting capabilities. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Shelby @SenShelby

Today @SenTuberville and I, along with many of our House colleagues from Alabama, introduced a resolution to honor the 100th anniversary of @AlfaFarmers – a group who has led the charge as a clear and united voice for our state’s agriculture industry. https://t.co/4q6LtY810U — PolitiTweet.org

I am very saddened to learn of the passing of Bob Dole, who left an indelible impact on our nation. He was a close friend and mentor to me in the Senate. My full statement: https://t.co/Ip89Wb7pEH — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Shelby @SenShelby

Despite the crisis at our southern border, President Biden wants to provide illegal immigrants cash settlements at the cost of American taxpayers. I am proud to cosponsor legislation that would prevent the Administration from making such an egregious mistake. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Shelby @SenShelby

Congratulations to @UofAlabama’s Nicholas Hayes, who was recently recognized as a Rhodes Scholar – one of only 32 this year. This is a prestigious honor. I’m proud to see an Alabama student has risen to the occasion and am confident Mr. Hayes will excel at @UniofOxford in 2022. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Shelby @SenShelby

Happy #Thanksgiving! Today and every day I am thankful for our servicemen and women who work tirelessly to keep us safe. Our troops are the reason we, as a nation, can enjoy our freedoms and spend time with friends and family. https://t.co/1e8pH4ejKX — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Shelby @SenShelby

This $32M @USDA investment is excellent news for local meat & poultry processors. Proud to see that $1.14M of this is heading to facilities in Alabama. These grants will help smaller businesses compete in the marketplace and expand important food supply chain operations. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Shelby @SenShelby

As the longest serving member and former chairman of the Senate Banking Committee, I understand the importance of the role the Comptroller of the Currency serves in regulating and supervising national banks. Dr. Omarova is not qualified for this position. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Shelby @SenShelby

After reviewing Dr. Omarova’s record and hearing her testimony today, I have grave concerns about her views and ability to lead the OCC in an impartial manner. I will not support her nomination. @BankingGOP — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Shelby @SenShelby

This is excellent news for UAB and patient care in #Alabama. I look forward to seeing the positive impacts this cutting-edge facility will have on the day to day lives of Alabamians and the local economy. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Shelby @SenShelby

The crisis at our southern border continues. Meanwhile, Democrats want to pay $450,000 to illegal immigrants who were subjected to the zero-tolerance policy. By contrast, when a soldier is killed on active duty, their family receives $100,000. This is an insult to all Americans. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Shelby @SenShelby

Today I met with @federalreserve Chair Jay Powell. We discussed his potential renomination, monetary policy, supply chain issues, and inflation, which I believe is his biggest challenge. I’m deeply concerned that inflation is already with us and that the Fed has missed the boat. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Shelby @SenShelby

I am very pleased that @USDOT has awarded Alabama two RAISE grants, which total $18.5 million, for local infrastructure improvements. These are worthy projects that support increased safety and economic growth opportunity for communities in our state. https://t.co/8yjS1s0C1C — PolitiTweet.org

His devotion to our nation and his state merits praise. I thank Pat for his friendship and wish he and his wife, Marcelle, all the best. 2/2 https://t.co/tXvbpucRAI — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Shelby @SenShelby

Over the past 47 years, Chairman Leahy has had a remarkable career in the Senate. As chairman of the Appropriations, Judiciary, and Agriculture committees and president pro tempore of the Senate, Pat has served Vermont well and with honor. 1/2 https://t.co/tXvbpucRAI — PolitiTweet.org

Our veterans put their lives on the line to protect our freedoms, placing the needs of our nation above their own. We are forever indebted to all American soldiers who answered the call to serve. Their bravery and selfless sacrifice will not be forgotten. #VeteransDay https://t.co/wO2VgwDNCf — PolitiTweet.org
