From @DiverseIssues: @UNCF Celebrates as #FUTUREAct Awaits @realDonaldTrump’s Signature https://t.co/tq8ArUNjkk — PolitiTweet.org

Lamar Alexander @SenAlexander

The #FUTUREAct is now headed to @POTUS to be signed into law! The bill includes an amendment Senator @PattyMurray and I introduced to permanently fund #HBCUs and simplify the #FAFSA. — PolitiTweet.org

Lamar Alexander @SenAlexander

Looks like @BrianJReisinger learned a little something from his time in the Senate! #LowerHealthCareCosts — PolitiTweet.org

Lamar Alexander @SenAlexander

Thank you to @StudentSuccess and @educationweek for hosting the #ESSATurns4 panel yesterday. It was good to join Rep @BobbyScott and @repjohnkline to discuss our bipartisan work to fix No Child Left Behind. https://t.co/Lo5nSr4tnX https://t.co/JX6feiuJrl — PolitiTweet.org

Lamar Alexander @SenAlexander

Don’t throw them away yet! This is just the first step to help shorten the FAFSA. There are still many unnecessary and complicated questions. With my bipartisan #FAFSA Simplification Act, we can shorten the form to 18-30 questions. https://t.co/7CGHCwYhz0 — PolitiTweet.org

Lamar Alexander @SenAlexander

Thank you, @IvankaTrump, for your and the entire @realDonaldTrump Administration’s support of the #FUTUREAct. — PolitiTweet.org

Lamar Alexander @SenAlexander

Thank you also to @RepRichardNeal, Chairman @BobbyScott, Rep @VirginiaFoxx, @UNCF and @tmcf_hbcu for their leadership and support to pass the #FUTUREAct. — PolitiTweet.org

Lamar Alexander @SenAlexander

Great news @realDonaldTrump—the #FUTUREAct is headed to your desk to be signed into law. This wouldn’t have been possible without @BetsyDevosED, @PattyMurray, @SenatorTimScott, @SenDougJones, @SenatorBurr, Sen @ChrisCoons and others in the Senate. — PolitiTweet.org

Lamar Alexander @SenAlexander

I fully support the #FUTUREAct and see no reason the U.S. Senate can’t pass it and send it to @POTUS to deliver a Christmas present for the 20 million American families, including 8 million minority students, who fill out the #FAFSA every year. — PolitiTweet.org

Lamar Alexander @SenAlexander

The U.S. House of Representatives just passed the #FUTUREAct that includes an amendment Sen @PattyMurray and I introduced to permanently fund #HBCUs and simplify the #FAFSA. https://t.co/Zg0aCQ69nX — PolitiTweet.org

Lamar Alexander @SenAlexander

It is a great testament to @SenatorIsakson’s legislative skill and determination, and I thank him and @SenBobCasey for their work to get this update across the finish line. — PolitiTweet.org

Lamar Alexander @SenAlexander

I just voted for and the Senate passed the most important new law for over-the-counter drugs in 40 years. The bill passed out of the Senate health committee I chair and will update the rules that govern how all over-the-counter drugs are sold at pharmacies. https://t.co/iIyyBuLgdR — PolitiTweet.org

Lamar Alexander @SenAlexander

Updating NAFTA makes sense, and the agreement announced today will continue to raise family incomes and create even more good-paying jobs, which is good news for Tennessee auto workers and farmers. #USMCA https://t.co/xtTTKu3D6d https://t.co/FRrtqtwOhP — PolitiTweet.org

Lamar Alexander @SenAlexander

From the @washingtonpost: “Lawmakers have introduced or updated legislation that may, if it were brought to the floor, stand a chance of passing the Democratic-led House, the Republican-led Senate and be signed by @POTUS.” #LowerHealthCareCosts https://t.co/12YeRFp2AF — PolitiTweet.org

Lamar Alexander @SenAlexander

On this fourth anniversary of #ESSA becoming law, we should remember that the best decisions about increasing student achievement and fixing the lowest performing schools are usually made state by state, community by community. https://t.co/Lo5nSr4tnX — PolitiTweet.org

In @axios #vitals: “The bill, championed by Sen. Lamar Alexander and Rep @FrankPallone and @RepGregWalden, cracks down on industry behavior that is often profitable at patients' expense.” #LowerHealthCareCosts https://t.co/Y9zZQM27OQ — PolitiTweet.org

Lamar Alexander @SenAlexander

I would like to commend @SenBillCassidy, @SenatorHassan, @CongressmanRuiz and @RepLarryBucshon for their leadership and dedicated work in developing the solution that ends the harmful practice of surprise medical billing. — PolitiTweet.org

Lamar Alexander @SenAlexander

I do not think it is possible to write a bill that has broader agreement than this one does among Senate and House Democrats and Republicans on Americans’ number one financial concern: what they pay out of their own pockets for health care. — PolitiTweet.org

Lamar Alexander @SenAlexander

The #LowerHealthCareCosts Act will end surprise medical bills; fund Community Health Centers for five years; increase the purchasing age of tobacco to 21; and, lower prescription drug and other medical costs by requiring more transparency and competition. — PolitiTweet.org
