The Coast Guard is Coming to Birmingham — Timeout with Tuberville

From the office of Senator Tommy Tuberville

Coach Tuberville here…

I’m thrilled that President Trump has selected Birmingham-Southern as the new land-based training facility for the United States Coast Guard.

This move will save the American taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars. Alabama and the Coast Guard are a natural partnership. Alabama is already home to every branch of the military and we have the infrastructure, resources, and personnel ready to make sure our United States Coast Guard continues to be elite.

Tuberville, Scott Introduce Bill to Stop SNAP Fraud and Abuse

Senator Tuberville joined U.S. Senator Rick Scott (R-FL) in introducing the SNAP Data Transparency and Oversight Act. This legislation will ensure the U.S. Department of Agriculture has timely access, upon request from the Secretary of Agriculture to state-administered Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) data to combat waste, fraud, and abuse within the system. This follows reports of states like California refusing to comply with federal oversight and enforcement. The bill requires state agencies to provide recipient-level data and case file information upon request as a condition of participation in SNAP to strengthen program integrity and prevent fraud by reinforcing federal oversight authority.

“I appreciate President Trump and Secretary Rollins’ efforts to cut out waste, fraud, and abuse from the SNAP system. It’s important that we ensure these taxpayer-funded benefits are going to those who truly need them. I’m proud to join my good friend Senator Rick Scott in this legislation to create more transparency and accountability when it comes to SNAP enforcement,” said Sen. Tuberville.
