Coach Tommy Tuberville, U.S. Senator from Alabama, posted a series of statements on July 21, 2025, addressing topics ranging from the Federal Reserve to law enforcement and disaster recovery.
In a tweet posted at 13:00 UTC, Tuberville stated, “Today’s a great day to fire Jerome Powell.” The message refers to Jerome Powell, who serves as Chair of the Federal Reserve.
Later that day at 14:17 UTC, Tuberville addressed violence against law enforcement officers. He wrote, “The left’s anti-police rhetoric has put our law enforcement officers in harm’s way, and led to an 800 PERCENT increase in attacks on ICE and CBP agents in recent weeks.
Violence against law enforcement officers will NOT BE TOLERATED under @POTUS and @Sec_Noem.
Sending prayers https://t.co/4sATjzaIDh” In this statement, Tuberville attributes a rise in attacks on Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agents to political rhetoric. He also references President of the United States (@POTUS) and Secretary Noem (@Sec_Noem), indicating support for their approach to law enforcement policy.
At 15:53 UTC the same day, Tuberville expressed support for companies from his home state aiding Texas during ongoing flood recovery efforts. He said, “Proud to have Alabama companies pitching in to help our friends in Texas.
Continued prayers to everyone recovering from the Texas flooding.

Tuberville’s remarks come amid heightened national debates over monetary policy leadership at the Federal Reserve as well as public safety concerns related to border security personnel. Additionally, his comments regarding disaster relief follow severe flooding events affecting parts of Texas earlier this summer.
