It’s hard to think of a piece of legislation that would have more of a lasting impact on minority students and their families than this bill. Thank you, @SenatorTimScott, for your leadership to provide permanent funding for #HBCUs and to simplify the #FAFSA. — PolitiTweet.org
Tim Scott @SenatorTimScott
Our HBCUs & the students they serve are the future of our nation. The FUTURE Act will provide much-needed long-term… https://t.co/tMHG7…

.@PoliticsK12: A bipartisan group of senators has agreed on a pitch to simplify the process of applying for federal student aid for higher education. #FAFSA https://t.co/6dJucp2kGE — PolitiTweet.org
Lamar Alexander @SenAlexander
In @usnews: “The bipartisan proposal would make permanent $255 million in annual funding for HBCUs, simplifies the application for federal student aid, known as the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, or #FAFSA…” https://t.co/aRfvH5QImZ — PolitiTweet.org

That’s the best way to celebrate the memory of Mister Rogers – to find the good in one another, just as he did, and to help children find the good in themselves. — PolitiTweet.org

My late friend Alex Haley, the author of Roots, used to say, “Find the Good and Praise It.” — PolitiTweet.org

Mister Rogers also shared with all of us a love for learning, the joy of making new friends and trying new experiences. He taught us the power of imagination, the awe of a new book, and the soothing help that a song can provide. — PolitiTweet.org
Lamar Alexander @SenAlexander
Mister Rogers taught us about kindness and love, but his lessons were never trite and they were not in isolation from the world or reality. He talked to our children about assassination with a hand puppet after Robert Kennedy was killed. He talked about racism and about divorce. — PolitiTweet.org
Lamar Alexander @SenAlexander
So today, I want to take a moment to recognize Mister Rogers, who is being celebrated with the release of a new movie starring @TomHanks, and a new album recorded largely in Nashville that features new renditions of the songs we loved hearing Mister Rogers sing. — PolitiTweet.org

As a society, in the media and online, we generally choose to amplify the one side of the screen—the angry and the noisy side. But this month, is a good time to amplify the other. — PolitiTweet.org
Lamar Alexander @SenAlexander
I often talk about what happens in Washington as a split-screen television – all the anger and the tweets and the upset on one side of the screen, and all the quiet successes and getting along and bills passing and helpful meetings happening on the other side of the screen. — PolitiTweet.org
Lamar Alexander @SenAlexander
.@SenatorIsakson set an example for why we senators are here. He knows that it is hard to get here, hard to stay here, and that while we are here, we might as well try to accomplish something good for the country. That is Johnny Isakson’s legacy. https://t.co/RbE9jFEBmu — PolitiTweet.org

Second, it takes a big first step in simplifying the #FAFSA for 20 million American families, including 8 million minority students, and eliminating the bureaucratic nightmare created by requiring students to give the federal government the same information twice. — PolitiTweet.org
Lamar Alexander @SenAlexander
It’s hard to think of a piece of legislation that would have more of a lasting impact on minority students and their families than this bill. First, it provides permanent funding for #HBCUs and other Minority Serving Institutions attended by over 2 million minority students. — PolitiTweet.org
Lamar Alexander @SenAlexander
Along with Sen @PattyMurray, @SenatorTimScott, @SenDougJones, @SenatorBurr and Sen @ChrisCoons, I’m proposing a bipartisan amendment to the House-passed #FUTUREAct to permanently fund #HBCUs and simplify the #FAFSA. https://t.co/SYHPTSKYC8 — PolitiTweet.org

But, without some help from the federal government, communities will not be able to tackle some of our nation’s most pressing issues— fixing an aging infrastructure, ending the opioid crisis, and helping students get the skills they need to succeed. — PolitiTweet.org

Very often, my goal is simply to keep Washington’s sticky fingers out of our lives. — PolitiTweet.org

The Restore the Partnership Act would create the Commission on Intergovernmental Relations of the United States to help multiple levels of government work together to solve big problems. — PolitiTweet.org
Lamar Alexander @SenAlexander
That’s why @SenatorSinema and I are introducing the Restore the Partnership Act, bipartisan legislation that will bring federal, state, tribal, and local governments together to improve the lives of every-day Americans. — PolitiTweet.org

The best thing Washington, D.C., can do for states is to stop imposing unfunded federal mandates that soak up state tax dollars and take away state legislatures’ and governors’ power to make decisions on behalf of the people who elected them. — PolitiTweet.org

I hope the committee will approve his nomination today, so the full Senate can consider Dr. Hahn to lead the @US_FDA before the end of the year. — PolitiTweet.org
Lamar Alexander @SenAlexander
“…We hope that Dr. Hahn will be able to bring his clinical expertise, leadership experience, and commitment to public service and science to the FDA as soon as possible.” — PolitiTweet.org
Lamar Alexander @SenAlexander
In addition, the last five @US_FDA Commissioners, who served under Presidents Trump, Obama, and Bush wrote: “We believe Dr. Hahn has the experience and commitment to public health and public service needed to provide this leadership…” — PolitiTweet.org
Lamar Alexander @SenAlexander
The committee has received thirteen letters of support for Dr. Hahn representing nearly 80 organizations on behalf of doctors, researchers, patients, and from his colleagues. — PolitiTweet.org
Lamar Alexander @SenAlexander
And, he has considerable experience in federal health agencies, having worked at the National Institutes of Health and in the U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Corps. — PolitiTweet.org
Lamar Alexander @SenAlexander
Dr. Hahn has been a successful leader in large health care systems and currently is the Chief Medical Officer at @MDAndersonNews. — PolitiTweet.org
Lamar Alexander @SenAlexander
Dr. Hahn is well prepared to lead the @US_FDA at this critical time. He is a practicing oncologist who knows firsthand the importance of bringing new, life-saving drugs and devices quickly through the regulatory process. — PolitiTweet.org
Lamar Alexander @SenAlexander
…address the opioid crisis and ensure pain patients can receive the medications they need, and protect our nation’s food supply. — PolitiTweet.org
Lamar Alexander @SenAlexander
Now it’s time for him to be confirmed because there is a lot the @US_FDA needs to do – review and approve new life-saving drugs and devices, regulate tobacco and e-cigarettes… — PolitiTweet.org
Lamar Alexander @SenAlexander
Dr. Hahn has extensive medical and research experience and is a proven leader in large health systems – all around, he is exactly the type of nominee we want to lead an agency as important as the @US_FDA. — PolitiTweet.org
