The @usedgov announced the first wave of emergency grants made available under the CARES Act. $237 million is headed to 127 colleges and universities in Tennessee to help support students as we all fight to stop the spread of COVID-19. — PolitiTweet.org

Encouraging news: the Trump Administration says recipients of the hospital fund—from the CARES Act—will not be allowed to balance bill COVID-19 patients. The last piece of the puzzle is for Congress to end the practice of sending surprise medical bills to patients who seek care. — 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. — PolitiTweet.org

Today, Senate Democrats blocked additional funding to help small businesses keep paychecks coming to hundreds of thousands of workers across the country. This is no time for Senate Democrats to play political games. — PolitiTweet.org

When the United States “absolutely, positively” needs more supplies critical for COVID-19 relief efforts overnight, this is a job for Tennessee’s own @FedEx. Thank you to the women and men who live to deliver and who understand it’s not just a package, it’s our lives. 📦 — PolitiTweet.org

In the @NewYorker: “These…are precisely the conditions under which surprise medical billing happens most frequently. And, with so many people flooding hospitals, it seemed only a matter of time before billing horror stories began to appear.” https://t.co/YNCIGvgrbb — PolitiTweet.org

When this crisis is over, I’ll be glad to explain to them the facts about the TVA CEO’s pay, which is lower than other big utilities, and TVA’s rates, which are among the lowest in the country, and the number of federal taxpayer dollars going to TVA, which is zero. — PolitiTweet.org

To help families pay their electric bills and keep their power on during this crisis, TVA has made $1 billion in credit available to help 154 local electric utilities in seven states. White House staff is unfortunately spreading inaccurate information. — PolitiTweet.org

Lamar Alexander @SenAlexander

Attacking @TVAnews doesn’t do one thing to solve the pandemic and has no place in federal COVID-19 response legislation. TVA does not receive one dollar in federal taxpayer subsidies or federal appropriations. — PolitiTweet.org

Patients and consumer advocates agree we must end surprise medical billing. Three congressional committees have agreed on a fair solution. It’s time to act. #LowerHealthCareCosts https://t.co/AMDeqZlRfm https://t.co/uLGtqpTTnv — PolitiTweet.org

Sen @RoyBlunt & I just sent a letter to @SecAzar to confirm that the CARES Act, which President @realDonaldTrump signed into law, allows free tests for Americans who have had COVID-19 and are likely immune to the disease—better known as an antibodies test. https://t.co/GqGPW5meFC https://t.co/5Q0nGj7yB4 — PolitiTweet.org

.@HHSGov says TN will receive more than $25M to support 29 community health centers, which provide health care services for over 420,000 Tennesseans. This money is from the CARES Act, which is keeping paychecks coming, relieving financial burdens, and helping contain COVID-19. — PolitiTweet.org

The Volunteer Spirit on full display—when @BaptistOnline found 30K #N95 masks in storage but couldn’t use them because the elastic bands were old and rotten, a group of Memphis Volunteers came together and repaired the masks in one weekend! @memphisnews: https://t.co/ER5pAJCx7z — PolitiTweet.org

Good news—@TVAnews announced it will also be collaborating with @UTKnoxville to evaluate the development of advanced nuclear reactors, which must be part of our future if we want clean, cheap and reliable energy. https://t.co/d6hi163OAq — PolitiTweet.org

In the @wherald: “It is essential during this health-care crisis that patients have the peace of mind from knowing that if they are at an in-network hospital, they will not be hit with a surprise medical bill months after their visit.” https://t.co/jQisHeBVk9 — PolitiTweet.org

Let’s find the good and praise it — Kira and her Papa, Marvin, live across the street from each other in Nashville and haven’t been able to visit each other because of COVID-19.
