Thank you to @AmerenMissouri for the tour of the Osage Energy Center at Bagnell Dam on the Lake of the Ozarks!

Ninety-five years ago, this was one of the largest construction projects in the country. Today, it continues to generate enough electricity to power approximately 42,000 homes.

Reliable energy doesn't build or maintain itself. Missourians are grateful to the hardworking Ameren employees who keep this critical infrastructure operating safely and reliably.

Google and Disney need to get a deal done and end this blackout.

People should have the right to watch the programming they paid for — including football.

Get it done!

Overall, the Senate has produced a strong, pro-growth bill.

That said, taxing energy production is never good policy, whether oil & gas or, in this case, renewables.

Electricity demand is set to see enormous growth & this tax will increase prices. It should be removed.

I was proud to unite 100+ stakeholders from Central & Southern IL at an important workforce summit focused on building skills and creating career opportunities in growing industries.

Helping workers without college degrees earn higher wages through apprenticeship programs is key.

Thank you @ChuckGrassley and @SenAmyKlobuchar for raising this issue. My 2023 tweet didn’t do much good… cc: @cspan @YouTubeTV

With so much happening in Congress today, it feels like a good time to renew my semi-regular plea for @cspan to be added to @YouTubeTV. Please and thank you!

[Congressman Wesley Bell @RepWesleyBellMO]

Our most underserved communities have suffered some of the worst damage in the region.

This moment demands strength, urgency, and focus. I’m in ongoing discussions with my local, state, federal officials, and fellow lawmakers about the road ahead.

In the face of so much suffering, the only path forward is together

[Chris Hickling @chriswhickling]

@jimmy_peacock @CGAGroup @Eric_Schmitt Good luck Jimmy - we have enjoyed working with you!

[Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin]

The decision of whether to run for re-election has not been easy. I truly love the job of being a United States Senator.

But in my heart, I know it’s time to pass the torch.

So, I am announcing today that I will not be seeking re-election at the end of my term.

[Congressman Wesley Bell @RepWesleyBellMO]

Huge thanks to the power crews and first responders out here working nonstop to get the St. Louis region back on its feet 🙏🏽

[Rep. Jason Smith @RepJasonSmith]

Greatly appreciated the opportunity to lead a roundtable alongside @RepAnnWagner @RepLaHood with Missouri businesses to discuss the looming $7 trillion Biden-Harris tax hike.

What they told me is what I hear everywhere: workers and small businesses are struggling to keep up with high prices and an uncertain economy.

Building on the Trump tax cuts will help all small businesses succeed and families thrive again.

Why arent the moderators asking about the six-month-versus-two-month CR debate?

I found the perfect soap for @RepEricBurlison @EricBurlison. If you don’t know, he hosts a podcast called Fresh Freedom.

@Tiffuhkneexoxo Your support of the @IAmOxfordComma shows that you are kind, smart, and all around wonderful.

As we celebrate #NationalDownSyndromeDay, I’m proud to be working with @RepMolinaroNY19 on the bipartisan Down Syndrome Diagnosis Act to help families navigate a new diagnosis and ensure their child receives high quality care.

THREAD: A lot of chatter on here about tonight’s #DesignatedSurvivor. As White House Cabinet Secretary from 2009-13, I helped select who sat out 7 Obama speeches (#SOTU, joint addresses, inaugurations). Here are some of the factors that went into the decision:

I was honored to meet with @SpecialOlympics CEO Mary Davis today! Thank you for empowering kids with disabilities, like my nephew Noah!

I couldn't be more proud to be pushing for more than $65 million to fund @SpecialOlympics health & education programs.
