We have made significant progress toward a CR that is as clean as possible. But, if the Democrats insist on including permitting reform, I will oppose it. Passing a clean CR will allow us to focus on completing the FY23 appropriations process before the end of this year. — PolitiTweet.org

FAA has awarded a total of $3.69 million in grant funding for four airports in Alabama. These various improvements to safety and overall functionality will help enhance opportunities for growth and economic development. Great news! @FAANews https://t.co/sED5oJly3W — PolitiTweet.org

I am pleased to hear that Alex Drueke and Andy Huynh, the two men from Alabama who were captured in Ukraine, are expected to soon return home. Relieved that they are safe and look forward to them being back on U.S. soil. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Shelby @SenShelby

Glad to hear of the Administration's intent to nominate Travis Hill as a Member and Vice Chair of the Board of Directors at @FDICgov. Travis served as Senior Counsel on the Senate Banking Committee during my tenure as Chairman. He is highly qualified to serve in this position. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Shelby @SenShelby

Pleased to see @RaytheonTech & @LockheedMartin awarded $311 million to build 2,100 Javelin missiles in #Troy, Alabama. Nearly 1,800 of these missiles will replace the US draw down inventory from the Ukraine war, & the remainder will support foreign allies. https://t.co/UboaDxN8Bt — PolitiTweet.org

Thank you, Huntsville! — PolitiTweet.org

RT @paul_gattis: 42 seconds. That's how long Huntsville stood and applauded @SenShelby Monday. And that was before his speech. And then… — PolitiTweet.org

It was a high honor to break ground on the U.S. Courthouse for the Northern District of Alabama this morning. The 123,000 square foot, state-of-the-art facility will be a landmark in #Huntsville and have a profound impact for generations to come. Thank you to everyone involved. https://t.co/sHnnRPpTSM — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Shelby @SenShelby

The Huntsville area is one of Alabama’s crown jewels, and I've worked diligently to secure the right conditions and resources for its success. Over the next few months, I'll continue to advocate for Huntsville and build upon its momentum. Thank you, again, @HuntsvilleALCOC! https://t.co/aejAJYQGra — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Shelby @SenShelby

Thank you, @HuntsvilleALCOC, for hosting me this morning as I delivered my final Washington update to this group of North Alabamians. It's been my honor to serve the people of North AL in the Senate for 36 years. I'm grateful for your generous support and consistent partnership. https://t.co/tWKNMG73zI — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Shelby @SenShelby

Enjoyed meeting with Dr. Francis Collins this afternoon about his work at the National Human Genome Research Institute. A longtime friend & brilliant scientist, Dr. Collins’ impact on biomedical research & the health of our nation is immeasurable. I always appreciate our visits. https://t.co/Qvqra1G0Wu — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Shelby @SenShelby

Today I met with Sen. @Adolfo_Urso, President of COPASIR, the Italian parliament’s intelligence oversight committee. We discussed the importance of NATO and our response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. I appreciate his steadfast commitment to freedom at home and abroad. https://t.co/dYfUi1XmW4 — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Shelby @SenShelby

Today’s CPI report contradicts what Democrats want Americans to believe. Inflation is not under control and the economy is not back on track. Grocery prices are up 13.5% from last year, gas prices are still too high, electricity costs more, and Dems are still spending recklessly. — PolitiTweet.org

Queen Elizabeth II was a loyal and steadfast public servant who led with class, wisdom, and strength. Her 70-year reign will long be remembered as one of stability. May she rest in peace. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Shelby @SenShelby

Proud that FAA is continuing to invest in local and regional airports throughout our state. This $17.8M in grant funding stands to benefit several communities in Alabama, and I look forward to witnessing the growth and success of each of them. @FAANews https://t.co/GwyuulV4Z4 — PolitiTweet.org

Good news for Alabama drivers: @USDOTFHWA has awarded ALDOT $5M for a project that aims to reduce congestion in traffic before it begins. Advanced technologies & decision support tools will be used on a portion of I-65 & other roads near Cullman to improve management & operation. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Shelby @SenShelby

Particularly pleased that Huntsville has been awarded the funds to construct multiple pedestrian bridges that will soon provide greater access to businesses & vital services located downtown. This project has been in the works for some time, & I look forward to the final product. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Shelby @SenShelby

Proud to announce that AL is receiving more than $27M in @USDOT RAISE grants for local infrastructure improvement projects. All three of these investments will support improved quality of life, safety, & experience in each of their respective communities. https://t.co/BzelRQOsgW — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Shelby @SenShelby

The policies created in this legislation are not what Americans want, nor are they what Americans need. I am disappointed that my Senate Democratic colleagues supported this legislation knowing it fails the American people. https://t.co/bty5Msij5n — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Shelby @SenShelby

This makes no sense. Right now, Congress should be focused on reducing costs and growing economic investment, not spending $80 billion to double the size and scope of the IRS and hundreds of billions of dollars to combat climate change. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Shelby @SenShelby

The so-called "Inflation Reduction Act" will result in increased costs for hardworking Americans, further crushing families’ finances. Dems will spend hundred of billions to raise taxes & swell the cost of living while Americans endure record-high inflation & a declining economy. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Shelby @SenShelby

This will increase domestic energy production, support thousands of jobs, & alleviate the effects of record-high inflation. I urge my fellow Senators to stand w/ our coal miners by voting Yes on my amendment. We cannot continue to block the mining of our essential energy sources. https://t.co/57z2yzSnaS — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Shelby @SenShelby

In an effort to unleash our own energy sources and lower infrastructure costs, my amendment to the Dems' tax & spend bill would require the Secretary of @Interior to complete pending Lease by Application processes for both metallurgical and thermal coal. https://t.co/0M17jymBoI — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Shelby @SenShelby

Senate Democrats are preparing to pass legislation that will double the size of the IRS. Their plan is to squeeze out more of your hard-earned dollars in order to fund their far left agenda. The "Inflation Reduction Act" will only leave Americans with less money in their pockets. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Shelby @SenShelby

Proud to join @SenDanSullivan in the fight to overturn the Biden Administration's NEPA regulations. We should be doing everything we can to prevent costly infrastructure project delays across our states. If this rule stands, hard-working Americans will feel the repercussions. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Shelby @SenShelby

Today we celebrate 232 years of the U.S. Coast Guard! The courage and discipline the men and women of the Coast Guard display is second to none, and their selfless service is greatly appreciated. Thank you, @USCG, for protecting our nation's waterways and remaining #AlwaysReady. https://t.co/XBYKqGgvxO — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Shelby @SenShelby

Well done, @ulalaunch! This successful launch is promising news for the future of missile detection. As the world continues to grow more dangerous, companies like ULA are stepping up to help strengthen the security of our nation. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Shelby @SenShelby

Pleased to support the accession of Finland and Sweden to NATO. Longstanding friends of the U.S., these countries are robust and modernized. Their entrance will only strengthen the alliance’s interoperability, defense capability, and collective security. — PolitiTweet.org
