Thank you very much for this award, @charteralliance. It's been a great 30 years for the teachers, for the parents and for the students. Let's make it another great 30 years and see where we can take this country. https://t.co/pHJ8KFzyhX — PolitiTweet.org

Dr. Anthony Fauci, @NIAIDNews: “[COVID-19] is such an important problem. It transcends all of us individually, and we have to be working as a team. I enjoy very much working with your senators and governors, because it’s at the local level we’re going to make this thing work.” https://t.co/KyO3f8z2dE — PolitiTweet.org

And, I plan to continue working together with my colleagues in a similar bipartisan fashion this year to continue passing legislation to help make college more worth student’s time and money. #MakingCollegeWorthIt https://t.co/ovCLGexG2e — PolitiTweet.org

This interest rate drop is a result of Congress working together in 2013 with President Obama to tie student loan rates to actual federal government borrowing costs. — PolitiTweet.org

Lamar Alexander @SenAlexander

Undergraduate loans will be @ 2.75% for the 20-21 school year, down from 4.53% in 2019-2020 school year. Graduate student loans will be @ 4.3% (down from 6.08%) and for PLUS loans will be @ 5.3% (down from 7.08%). — PolitiTweet.org

Staying at home indefinitely is not the way to end this pandemic. There is not enough money available to help all those hurt by a closed economy. All roads back to work and back to school lead through testing, tracking, isolation, treatment, and vaccines. — PolitiTweet.org

Now, while this crisis has our full attention, I believe we should put into law this year whatever improvements we need to be well prepared for the next one. If there is to be finger pointing, I hope fingers will point in that direction. — PolitiTweet.org

My preacher once said: “I’m not worried about you on Sunday, it’s what you do during the rest of the week.” I’m afraid that during the rest of the week — between pandemics — we relax our focus on preparedness. We become preoccupied with other important things. — PolitiTweet.org
