These results from @NAEP_NCES are sobering. They remind us that the worst scores for American high school students often are not in science and math, but in United States history. https://t.co/nsK4VwQyuY — PolitiTweet.org

Lamar Alexander @SenAlexander

I’m glad the administration chose to delay compliance deadlines for the @ONC_HealthIT information blocking rule and the @CMSGov Interoperability rule so health care providers can focus on responding to the COVID-19 global pandemic. https://t.co/6Iwt2vuGlo — PolitiTweet.org

With money made available in the CARES Act, @HHSgov is sending an additional $3.2 million to the @TNDeptofHealth to help small, rural hospitals across Tennessee as we continue the fight against COVID-19. — PolitiTweet.org

Lamar Alexander @SenAlexander

One of the most important parts of the legislation the Senate passed yesterday was to accelerate @NIH & @BARDA’s competitive “shark tank” to pull out all the stops and create brand new technologies to produce tens of millions of COVID-19 diagnostic tests by August. @AftertheBell https://t.co/p1Wr61hKDd — PolitiTweet.org

I–along with @MarshaBlackburn, @DrPhilRoe, @RepChuck and @DesJarlaisTN04–urged President @realDonaldTrump to quickly approve @GovBillLee’s request for a major disaster declaration to help the East Tennessee counties impacted by the severe storms on April 12-13. https://t.co/bmxaBKXdyR — PolitiTweet.org

Today, the U.S. Senate pulled out all the stops to help increase COVID-19 diagnostic testing by including provisions from @RoyBlunt & me that will fund a competitive “shark tank” designed to create brand new technologies to produce tens of millions of diagnostic tests by August. — PolitiTweet.org

Lamar Alexander @SenAlexander

According to the @SBAgov, over 34,000 Tennessee small businesses have been approved for more than $6.5B from the Paycheck Protection Program, created by the CARES Act. The House should quickly pass this additional funding so President @realDonaldTrump can sign it into law. — PolitiTweet.org

Lamar Alexander @SenAlexander

More help is on the way for Tennesseans in the fight against COVID-19—the U.S. Senate just passed legislation to provide an additional $310 billion for the Paycheck Protection Program, $75 billion for hospitals, and $25 billion to strengthen testing. https://t.co/ssz5lg0vPw — PolitiTweet.org

Lamar Alexander @SenAlexander

We must invite breakthrough ideas to our “shark tank.” We must innovate. And we must use our best scientists at @NIH, @BARDA and across government to do this faster than ever before. Read my op-ed with @RoyBlunt in the @washingtonpost: — PolitiTweet.org

Lamar Alexander @SenAlexander

If there’s a bold idea out there that will work, we need to make sure the funding is available to get it approved and in the hands of health care providers quickly. Read my op-ed with @RoyBlunt in the @washingtonpost: — PolitiTweet.org

Once we can go back to work, back to school and out to eat, Americans are likely to flock to our national parks. That’s why it’s important we pass the Great American Outdoors Act to #RestoreOurParks and permanently #FundLWCF, so that our parks have the funding they need. — PolitiTweet.org

The @NIH announced the Accelerating COVID-19 Therapeutic Interventions and Vaccines partnership—bringing together key @HHSgov agencies and the leading minds from around the world to create vaccine and drug candidates, speed up clinical trials, and respond to the pandemic. — PolitiTweet.org

Never before in our history has our government shut down our economy in order to contain a disease. Now that the government has done that, it’s the government’s responsibility to help pay for it. This is no time for Senate Democrats to play political games. — PolitiTweet.org

On Thursday, April 16, the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) ran out of money. Senate Democrats continue to block additional funding to the PPP to help small businesses keep paychecks coming to hundreds of thousands of workers across the country. — PolitiTweet.org
