The news out of Indiana today about the accident that took the lives of Congresswoman Walorski and her staffers, Emma Thomson and Zachary Potts, is unexpected and tragic. My deepest condolences are with the family and friends of the victims and the people of Indiana. — PolitiTweet.org

This morning I caught up with @SecAFOfficial Frank Kendall in my Washington, D.C., office. I enjoyed talking with him about the @USAirForce’s latest funding priorities and the ways we can best support our military. https://t.co/qilXjtcBCp — PolitiTweet.org

Senate Democrats are under the impression that now, while we're in the middle of a recession, is the time to raise taxes. Doing so will only further burden Americans already dealing with historic inflation and a declining economy. They can't tax & spend their way out of this one. — PolitiTweet.org

Throughout my career, I've remained a strong advocate for our veterans. However, the PACT Act would reclassify nearly $400 billion in VA funding, allowing Dems to instead spend that on their liberal wish list. I want to support the PACT Act, but this budget gimmick must be fixed. — PolitiTweet.org

The killing of al Qaeda terrorist Ayman al-Zawahiri is welcome news and long overdue. His presence in Kabul is concerning, but not unexpected after our chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan. 1/2 — PolitiTweet.org

I am deeply concerned by the NMFS’s recent proposed rule regarding red snapper calibration. This state-management initiative is no small undertaking, and our Gulf States have gone above & beyond to ensure the best, most sustainable outcome, which is why I signed onto this letter. — PolitiTweet.org

Our economy shrank for a second straight quarter. Couple that with 40-year high inflation levels, and what are we left with? A recession. President Biden doesn't want to admit it, but you can't argue with the facts. — PolitiTweet.org

Congratulations to Joe Ritch of #Huntsville, Alabama, on being nominated by the President to serve on the Tennessee Valley Authority's Board of Directors. Joe previously served in this capacity and was once Chairman of the TVA Board. His experience would serve TVA well. @TVAnews — PolitiTweet.org

Today I voted against the CHIPS Act because I will not support legislation that uses hard-earned taxpayer dollars to provide corporate welfare to massive, profitable companies. These companies can afford to expand on their own. They do not need subsidizing. — PolitiTweet.org

Alabama is home to some of the best schools in the nation.

My @BankingGOP colleagues and I finally heard back from Chairman Gensler on the @SECGov's proposed climate disclosure rule. Unfortunately, the response we received was wholly inadequate. Gensler's inability to answer straightforward questions regarding this rule is unacceptable. — PolitiTweet.org

As the world becomes increasingly dangerous, we need to invest in our military’s capabilities, not shortchange them. For that reason, I will not support this resolution. 2/2 https://t.co/4m9rEgw9bb — PolitiTweet.org

I’ve long been a champion of balancing the federal budget, but not at the expense of our national defense. Senator Braun’s proposal, while well-intentioned, essentially follows the Biden Administration’s plans to cut defense spending over the next decade. 1/2 — PolitiTweet.org

Inflation hit 9.1% today – another record high. This is devastating news for millions of hard-working Americans. The Biden Administration remains remiss in getting inflation under control. Passing another massive tax-and-spend bill would be a mistake we cannot afford. — PolitiTweet.org

I do not plan to support the gun bill currently being considered by the Senate. I firmly believe that this legislation raises serious constitutional concerns and opens the door to the erosion of the Second Amendment to our Constitution. My full statement: https://t.co/IjFTcPg4N1 — PolitiTweet.org
