I'm supporting @SenatorDurbin bill w/ @SenateDems that would once again allow privately issued student loans to be discharged in bankruptcy. — PolitiTweet.org

U.S. Senator Al Franken @SenFranken

But when that debt becomes too much to bear & private loan borrowers end up underwater, there’s no way to clean the slate. We need to help. — PolitiTweet.org

U.S. Senator Al Franken @SenFranken

And often, borrowers who have to take out private loans are stuck with much higher monthly payments and massive interest charges. — PolitiTweet.org

U.S. Senator Al Franken @SenFranken

Student loan debt is a real front-burner issue for Minnesotans, who graduate college with an average of over $30,000 in debt. — PolitiTweet.org

U.S. Senator Al Franken @SenFranken

My bipartisan bill with @amyklobuchar would memorialize sacrifice and service of Hmong veterans. More info here: https://t.co/0xJIZBgXeH — PolitiTweet.org

U.S. Senator Al Franken @SenFranken

So I believe we must remember Hmong veterans who fought alongside Americans during the Vietnam War—& continue to honor them after they pass. — PolitiTweet.org

U.S. Senator Al Franken @SenFranken

I've said this before, but it remains true: because of Hmong soldiers' heroism, there are many fewer names on the Vietnam Memorial. — PolitiTweet.org

Yes, @SenatorTomUdall. GOP health care bill does indeed fail Hubert Humphrey's moral test of government. https://t.co/YKRGJt6lij — PolitiTweet.org

And last week, we took big step forward when my Native Educator Support & Training Act—known as the NEST Act—passed out of @IndianCommittee. — PolitiTweet.org

U.S. Senator Al Franken @SenFranken

One major challenge I hear from tribes in Minnesota is that there aren’t enough teachers in their communities. I’m working to change that. — PolitiTweet.org

U.S. Senator Al Franken @SenFranken

Right now, educators and students in Indian Country often face significant challenges. — PolitiTweet.org

U.S. Senator Al Franken @SenFranken

In the clearest of terms, President Trump's budget would be a disaster for families in MN and across the country. https://t.co/HfFcPfGtsf — PolitiTweet.org
