We fought a good fight and the people of Alabama have spoken. So many people have helped me in this campaign and over the years, they love this state and I love them. I could not have done it without the loving support of my family – my wife Mary, my daughters Mary Abigail and Ruth, and my son Sam, and all of my ten grandchildren. I am eternally grateful for your sacrifices and support.

President Trump's jobs-based immigration order EXPIRES tomorrow. He should extend and expand that order, as I've already called for. Corporate elites want to keep FLOODING America with more foreign, white-collar workers, but WE HAVE NO JOBS. This is madness! President Trump should REJECT the radical open-borders ideas of Tommy Tuberville & Silicon Valley and FURTHER RESTRICT employment-based immigration while so many Americans are out of work. I called for this in APRIL, and it is time to move NOW. jeffsessions.com/press-releases…

As Attorney General, I led the Department of Justice in advocating @realDonaldTrump’s and my view that, when the 1964 Civil Rights Act was passed, sex meant one’s biological sex and did not include gender identity. I'm pleased that Attorney General Barr has continued this fight. We argued that if Congress wanted to pass a more expansive definition of sex it was free to do so.

Few would contend this new definition of sex was intended by the Congress that passed the 1964 Act.

.@DougJones vote to remove from all military facilities and installations the names of every soldier who fought for the Confederacy betrays the character and decency of every soldier who fought for the South in that bloody and monumental war... ... whose courage & duty reached the highest levels, on both sides. Naming U.S. bases for those who fought for the South was seen as an act of respect and reconciliation towards those who were called to duty by the States.

Sgt. Stephen Williams served faithfully in law enforcement for 23 years, most recently in the Moody Police Department. He received the Officer of the Year Award and was described as someone “a lot of the guys looked up to.” al.com/news/2020/06/p… He was a good police officer who loved his community. Most importantly, Sgt. Williams was a father of three – and our prayers are with his family during this difficult time. We honor his legacy today across Alabama.

Several months ago, I charged that the @WHO failed in its fundamental duty to warn the world of the deadly and spreading Wuhan Virus. jeffsessions.com/press-releases… That has been further confirmed by leaked documents from the WHO. @WHO officials were well aware of and very concerned about China’s lack of transparency concerning the virus. The danger was apparent. apnews.com/3c061794970661…

If @TTuberville is too scared to debate on @FoxNews, he certainly won’t be able to debate on the US Senate floor. Anyone who can’t debate can’t represent Alabama in the US Senate. thehill.com/homenews/media… Alabama wants fierce fighters to go to Washington, people who have the courage to debate and fight. @TTuberville should man up & face his fears. I promise to use small one syllable words in a debate.

The surge of destruction and violence we witnessed last night in the great city of Birmingham must not be allowed to continue. All over the country we have seen the results of “politically correct” and completely ineffective leadership. What began as peaceful protests has been seized & distorted by Antifa, far-left radicals, & criminal thugs who are intent only on destruction and anarchy.

.@TTuberville, have you ever spoken out for the American people on these issues? Do you recognize that massive immigration—legal and illegal—floods the labor market, reducing salaries and job opportunities for Alabama workers? Do you understand the importance of our military installations, our shipyards, & our farmers? Do you understand the struggles of Alabamians to simply get by in a world where unfair trade closes our factories & hollows out our rural communities?

Today—the day after Memorial Day—@TTuberville went on the radio and said that Communist China has “got a better military” than America. #alsen

On the day after Memorial Day, @TTuberville is exalting the Chinese Communist Party’s military over our own.

Mr. Tuberville should immediately apologize.

His views further prove that he’s not fit to be a United States Senator. #alsen

The US has consistently been the single largest contributor to the @WHO. Over the past 2 years, the US has given nearly $900 MILLION to the WHO– over 20% of its budget.

As you are no doubt aware, the @WHO statement on January 14, 2020 has garnered special attention & criticism. In that statement, the @WHO said, “Preliminary investigations conducted by the Chinese authorities have found no clear evidence of human-to-human transmission of the novel #coronavirus (2019-nCoV) identified in Wuhan, China.”

.@realDonaldTrump is absolutely right! China cannot get away with this.

But China appeaser @TTuberville says "we can't worry about China right now," and that "we [America] can’t control our own destiny. Everything’s controlled by China but that’ll take care of itself.” #alsen .@TTuberville wants to give the Chinese Communist Party a free pass. He's too lazy to understand the China threat or do anything about their coverup of the Wuhan Virus, should he be elected to the Senate. #alsen

Today, I issued a letter to @WHO @DrTedros demanding answers to 13 key questions about the handling of the coronavirus pandemic & WHO’s suspicious relationship with China. I ask that @WHO stand down & allow independent experts conduct the investigation. bit.ly/2zi5DVT The world must wake-up to the truth about China and demand accountability of the duped @WHO. The Chinese Communist Party is an outlaw regime, not a responsible one.

Today, I am setting the record straight on recusal.

Read my open letter to the people of Alabama:

facebook.com/jeffsessionsal… I was the first to endorse President Trump, even when many thought I was nuts to do so. I helped Trump win and traveled the country with him, embedded in his campaign. I am one of the architects of his agenda, and I was pushing his agenda even before he ran for office. #alsen

I have enormous appreciation for President Trump and all that he has done for our country. I will be voting for him this fall, and working hard to pass his agenda when I return to the Senate next year. The specific law for the Department of Justice required that I recuse myself from the Russian collusion investigation. To not recuse myself from that investigation, of which I was a target as a senior campaign official and a witness, would have been breaking the law.

Today, the Supreme Court heard arguments on the Obamacare contraceptive mandate. As Attorney General, I worked to roll back the Obama Administration's position and provide protection for religious organizations like the Little Sisters of the Poor. nytimes.com/2017/10/06/us/… The nuns arguing for an exemption from Obamacare's contraception mandate are selfless servants who are just asking to be able to live their sincere religious beliefs. We MUST protect religious freedom in the United States!

Amazingly @TTuberville said yesterday "We can’t worry about China right now." China's where the virus is from, and their deliberate lies hid the danger & resulted in a pandemic that never should've happened! We must take on China NOW and WIN, not run scared like Tommy Tuberville! There are over 1 million infected with the Wuhan Virus, and more than 1,300 in Alabama already. This is SERIOUS. But amazingly, Tommy Tuberville said yesterday that "this is just a virus." What planet is he on?! Tuberville is clueless. No wonder he's scared to debate me!

The Southern Poverty Law Center (@splcenter) this week is continuing its radical and hateful attacks on mainstream conservative organizations, designating several as “hate groups.” (1/x.) Unbelievably, the SPLC includes the long-established and well-respected Family Research Council (@FRCdc) in its report…

.@SenSchumer’s threats against the Supreme Court are appalling. He cannot bully the Court into imposing his radical abortion agenda on Alabama. This case impacts our own pro-life laws. Alabamians value unborn life and our Constitution. We will not be intimidated. I will always fight for life & our Alabama values. Censure @SenSchumer NOW!

It is not surprising that @DougJones Jones joined 43 other senators today to vote against legislation prohibiting abortion after 20 weeks, causing the bill to fail. #alsen Just last week, Jones laughed off today’s vote regarding late-term abortions when asked by a constituent about his position and called the question "stupid." This is shameful and must not be tolerated.

President @realDonaldTrump is bypassing the liberal media and assembling a new majority of Americans, and the blame-America-first Democrats in Washington are terrified. I traveled all over the country with @realDonaldTrump — I’ve seen it first-hand. Independent voters, and even many Democrats, realize that President Trump is right.
