I’m very concerned about Turkey increasingly siding with Russia over @NATO, including purchasing a Russian air defense missile system. As I’ve said, it's time for the Administration to place sanctions on Turkey. It’s an important step to protect NATO and our national security. https://t.co/B8LzDIDE4A — PolitiTweet.org

Today we honor and remember the victims who lost their lives on 9/11. On that day 18 years ago, our lives & our country were forever changed. We will never forget those who died nor will we forget the brave first responders who risked their lives that day. #NeverForget https://t.co/9EKTacMHhk — PolitiTweet.org

Cancelling student loan debt doesn’t solve the problem. It doesn’t fix the problem of colleges & universities that are more focused on providing safe spaces to avoid tough issues than whether their students are prepared for a career in our economy. https://t.co/KXiOCA1D3x — PolitiTweet.org

I spoke to UN Secretary General @antonioguterres tonight about the @UN’s relief efforts in the Bahamas. We all have a responsibility to support our friends in the Bahamas. — PolitiTweet.org

Thank you @RepRossSpano for introducing the House companion to my bill, the Protecting Patients from Surprise Medical Bills Act. Glad to have you join me in the fight to help American families & make hospitals more transparent in their medical billing. https://t.co/lSS2ivfNmO — PolitiTweet.org

This is disgusting. I spoke to the @leesheriff today and let him know I appreciated all his efforts to stop this violent behavior and hold the individual accountable. Animal abuse can never and will never be tolerated. https://t.co/IQDBiqjXEW — PolitiTweet.org

Rick Scott @SenRickScott

Great meeting with @FSUPresThrasher today! @floridastate should be very proud of its accomplishments. I look forward to continue working with President Thrasher as we fight to improve our higher education system for all Florida students. https://t.co/xTCyfqbiSg — PolitiTweet.org

Rick Scott @SenRickScott

I applaud @DHSgov for responding to my request & clarifying visa requirements for Bahamians fleeing to the US after #Dorian's destruction. We should all support our friends from the Bahamas and make sure there is no confusion. Read more here ⬇️: https://t.co/gmeCfqkdZ4 — PolitiTweet.org

My friend @AndrewPollackFL wrote a great Op-Ed in @usatoday on the importance of keeping schools safe. After he lost his daughter at Parkland, Andy has dedicated his life to protecting kids. He’s been a great friend and ally. #fixit — PolitiTweet.org

Rick Scott @SenRickScott

Our higher education system doesn’t serve the student, and we need to change that. I fear that if we stay on this path, it will be harder and harder for some of our brightest minds to get the education and the opportunity they deserve. — PolitiTweet.org

Rick Scott @SenRickScott

Finally, we must remove onerous Obama-era regulations that hinder private lenders from giving loans. If a private bank wants to lend to our students, they can. And U.S. taxpayers shouldn’t be on the hook for every student loan in our country. — PolitiTweet.org

Rick Scott @SenRickScott

Fourth, Pell Grants should be eligible for use at technical colleges. Our great technical schools prepare students for work in high-demand fields, and students should be allowed to use Pell Grants to pursue the education that will put them on the path to success. — PolitiTweet.org

Rick Scott @SenRickScott

Third, if a college or university raises tuition or fees, they will be automatically cut off from ALL federal funding, including federally-guaranteed loan programs. That’s right, ALL FEDERAL FUNDING WILL BE CUT OFF IF TUITION OR FEES ARE INCREASED. — PolitiTweet.org

Rick Scott @SenRickScott

Second, we need to apply the same rules to Not-for-profit institutions as we do to for-profit institutions. All institutions should be held to the same standards when it comes to preparing students for jobs, and ultimately be held accountable for their performance. — PolitiTweet.org

Rick Scott @SenRickScott

Here’s what I’m proposing: First, if a student defaults on their federal loan, the institution where they took classes should be responsible for a portion of that default. — PolitiTweet.org

Rick Scott @SenRickScott

Now, I’m looking at what we can do on the federal level to drive down costs for students and their families and incentivize colleges and universities to actually prepare students for a job. — PolitiTweet.org

Rick Scott @SenRickScott

The results speak for themselves. For 3 years in a row, @usnews has rated Florida’s higher education system as the best in the nation. And we have the 2nd lowest state university tuition in the nation. Our students are getting a world-class education at a price they can afford. — PolitiTweet.org

Rick Scott @SenRickScott

These are simple concepts – it’s about creating incentives to make sure all of our higher education institutions were doing their most important job: preparing students for the opportunity to get a great job, build a career and become self-sufficient. — PolitiTweet.org

Rick Scott @SenRickScott

As Governor of Florida, I had two main goals: to keep college affordable for students and to realign the incentives in the higher education system to promote career readiness and skills training. My whole focus was to make sure students were able to get a job when they graduated. — PolitiTweet.org

Rick Scott @SenRickScott

Second, students who do go to a four-year college or university are becoming burdened with mountains of debt. Debt that is frankly unsustainable for people to pay off. — PolitiTweet.org

Rick Scott @SenRickScott

First, a college education is becoming out of reach for more and more students. More and more students are losing out on their opportunity to live the American Dream. — PolitiTweet.org
