Coach Tommy Tuberville, U.S. Senator from Alabama, made several statements on his social media account in mid-September 2025 addressing federal agencies and public figures.
On September 15, 2025, Tuberville criticized the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), writing, “For too long, the woke Bureau of Labor Statistics has LIED about economic data to help Democrats. Thankfully, President Trump has a plan to fix the broken BLS. E.J. Antoni will restore ACCOUNTABILITY and TRANSPARENCY to the agency. More in my latest op-ed:”
The following day, September 16, Tuberville commented on political unity by stating, “You can’t have ‘unity’ with evil.” He addressed this message to Jesse Kelly and The First TV.
Later that same day, Tuberville expressed support for FBI officials by posting, “Great work @FBIDirectorKash and @FBIDDBongino. Thank you for Making America Safe Again.”
Tuberville’s remarks come amid ongoing debates about the role of federal agencies in public life and their perceived political leanings. The Bureau of Labor Statistics is responsible for collecting and analyzing labor economics data in the United States. Accusations regarding its impartiality have surfaced periodically over recent years.
His endorsement of E.J. Antoni as a potential leader at BLS aligns with broader calls among some Republican lawmakers for changes in agency leadership under former President Donald Trump’s administration.
