TUNE IN at 11:30 AM ET – I’ll be joining @SenatorCollins and @SenAngusKing to announce a partnership between @ORNL and @UMaine to bring down the cost of using forest products for 3D printing. Watch live: https://t.co/uZREgMMzEz — PolitiTweet.org

This important step would not have happened without the leadership of @POTUS, Ambassador Branstad and President Xi, and it will save thousands of American lives. https://t.co/HZTaYxuatU — PolitiTweet.org

Today, the Chinese government designated fentanyl as a controlled substance. Fentanyl is a synthetic opioid that can be 100 times stronger than opioid prescription pills and is the source of the greatest increase in opioid overdoses in our country. — PolitiTweet.org

I’m about to chair a hearing in the Appropriations Subcommittee on Energy and Water Development to discuss why nuclear power must be a part of America’s future. You can watch live here: https://t.co/RfTvjzO1oo https://t.co/MeHe5hRn2x — PolitiTweet.org

The United States now has the greatest number of cases of measles in 25 years. #VaccinesSaveLives, that’s why I supported Sen. @MarshaBlackburn’s resolution that highlights the importance of vaccinations. https://t.co/GYhs2W2OBn — PolitiTweet.org

Now that the Senate has confirmed his nomination, I have no doubt Mr. Hartogensis will be successful in leading the agency that insures private-sector defined benefit pension plans. — PolitiTweet.org

Lamar Alexander @SenAlexander

While the PBGC faces significant financial challenges, including a multiemployer pension insurance program that will be insolvent in 2025, Senate Democrats held up Mr. Hartogensis’ confirmation for almost a year. — PolitiTweet.org

Lamar Alexander @SenAlexander

I voted for and the U.S. Senate confirmed Gordon Hartogensis to be Director of the @USPBGC. Mr. Hartogensis’ long background in financial planning and entrepreneurship make him well-qualified to lead the PBGC. https://t.co/E8rkNPMbMs — PolitiTweet.org

Fred started what was then called Federal Express in 1973—14 airplanes brought 186 packages to 25 cities in the U.S. the first night. Today, @FedEx has 678 aircrafts and over 150,000 trucks that move more than 15 million shipments each business day. — PolitiTweet.org

Lamar Alexander @SenAlexander

I am grateful for the work the @AtlanticCouncil does to promote stability and security around the world. That’s why I was glad to help present @FedEx’s Fred Smith the Atlantic Council’s Distinguished Leadership Award last night. https://t.co/On7JtLOPUz — PolitiTweet.org

Thank you for coming to meet with Sen. @MarshaBlackburn and me today. — PolitiTweet.org

Lamar Alexander @SenAlexander

That’s why I’m glad to support Sen. @lisamurkowski’s Nuclear Waste Administration Act (NWAA) of 2019, bipartisan legislation that would implement the Blue Ribbon Commission’s recommendations and resolve a decades old fight over what to do with our country’s nuclear waste. — PolitiTweet.org

Lamar Alexander @SenAlexander

If we want a future with nuclear power that produces clean, cheap, and reliable energy and creates good jobs that keep America competitive in a global economy, then we have to solve the nuclear waste stalemate. https://t.co/HMM31IaDZR — PolitiTweet.org

I was extremely disappointed our legislation didn't become law. If Democrats are willing to modify their position on the Hyde Amendment and renew their interest in Alexander-Murray, I would welcome the opportunity to discuss it. — PolitiTweet.org

Lamar Alexander @SenAlexander

...and voted for in 100 other places in the same appropriations bill in which we proposed to include Alexander-Murray. — PolitiTweet.org

Lamar Alexander @SenAlexander

The agreement fell apart at the last minute because Democrats refused to vote for the traditional Hyde Amendment restricting federal funding for elective abortions that Democrats had voted for in every appropriations bill since 1976... — PolitiTweet.org

Lamar Alexander @SenAlexander

At President Trump’s request, Leader McConnell and Speaker Ryan both supported Alexander-Murray. It was introduced in the Senate by 12 Republicans and 12 Democrats. At one point, Senator Schumer said it was such good policy that every Democrat would vote for it. — PolitiTweet.org

Lamar Alexander @SenAlexander

Senator Murray and I worked hard and well together for eight months with full support from President Trump to come up with an agreement that independent analysts said would reduce premiums by up to 40 percent over three years. — PolitiTweet.org

Lamar Alexander @SenAlexander

I was glad to hear that the Alexander-Murray legislation came up in the White House meeting today. It is probably the best known piece of good legislation in my 17 years in the Senate that has yet to become law. — PolitiTweet.org

Lamar Alexander @SenAlexander

Thanks for joining us at #TNTuesday. Enjoy your time in Washington! — PolitiTweet.org

Lamar Alexander @SenAlexander

If you’re in the Tri-Cities area, tune-in at 8:35 AM ET to @Supertalk929 for my live conversation with @ScottyIsOn about my proposed New Manhattan Project for Clean Energy to combat #climatechange. — PolitiTweet.org

Lamar Alexander @SenAlexander

This is a result of last year’s federal funding for housing and urban development programs by the Senate Appropriations Committee of which I am a member. — PolitiTweet.org

Lamar Alexander @SenAlexander

Good news – 80 Tennessee housing authorities received funding through the @HUDgov Capital Fund program to help develop, finance and modernize public housing developments in their area. — PolitiTweet.org

As we update #HEA, our goal needs to be to help students know that their degrees are going to be worth their time and money & to help taxpayers know that the federal government isn’t financing programs that do not provide students with a valuable education. #MakingCollegeWorthIt https://t.co/ld0dEzZmgn — PolitiTweet.org
