Gary Palmer, a member of the U.S. Congress representing Alabama’s 6th district since 2015, shared his views on current political issues through a series of tweets. The Republican congressman addressed topics ranging from potential government shutdowns to energy policies and local weather warnings.

On March 13, 2025, Palmer commented on the possibility of a government shutdown. He attributed any such occurrence to Senate Democrats prioritizing party politics over national interests. In his tweet, he stated: "If a shutdown happens, it’s because Senate Democrats are putting party politics above what is best for the American people."

Later that day, Palmer addressed recent actions by the Biden-Harris Administration concerning energy policy. He criticized their approach over the past four years as detrimental to American energy and inflation rates. However, he acknowledged efforts by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) aimed at reducing living costs: "The @EPA's actions yesterday took a huge step towards reducing cost of living for American families."

In another tweet posted on March 13, 2025, Palmer warned his constituents in Alabama about impending severe weather conditions expected over the following days. He advised caution and vigilance: "There’s a chance of severe weather tomorrow and Saturday in Alabama."
