The world is better and safer because of Richard Lugar’s life of public service. Always a gentleman and always principled, he was a model of what we should hope for in our elected officials. — PolitiTweet.org

And, that’s why I’ve also proposed a New Manhattan Project for Clean Energy with Ten Grand Challenges for the next five years to combat #climatechange. Learn more here: https://t.co/nFva2sC8gR — PolitiTweet.org

That's because of the federal rules that have limited emissions on big trucks, cars and smokestacks. — PolitiTweet.org

But, we are making progress in Tennessee. If you're in Knoxville or Maryville and you look towards the Smokies today, you can see about two or three times further than you could 15 years ago. — PolitiTweet.org

The federal government should not act as a national school board for colleges, telling states and accreditors and boards of directors at institutions how to manage the 6,000 colleges and universities. #MakingCollegeWorthIt https://t.co/Icu11yCH4p — PolitiTweet.org

Congress and @POTUS passed the first major tax reform in 31 years, landmark opioids legislation and record funding for research. And I’m working in a bipartisan way to #LowerHealthCareCosts for Tennesseans and ensure we are #MakingCollegeWorthIt for students. — PolitiTweet.org

I first learned about the importance of the Foothills Parkway when I was the editor of the Maryville HS newspaper and interviewed Dean Stone about it. Since then, the Parkway has been a priority of mine as both governor and as a U.S. senator. #ThrowbackThursday #NationalParkWeek — PolitiTweet.org

Here are a few ways to "go wild” in our national parks for #WildWednesday: take a hike, watch wildlife, watch wildflowers or go camping. BUT for the best view of the highest mountains in the eastern US, take a scenic drive on the Foothills Parkway in @GreatSmokyNPS #FindYourPark — PolitiTweet.org

Replacing Chickamauga Lock is important to all of Tennessee, and if Chickamauga Lock closes, it will throw 150,000 more trucks onto I-75. @USACEHQ says it could spend $92.3 million next year on Chickamauga Lock, and we should do our best to make sure they have those dollars. https://t.co/GqZxvSmZdO — PolitiTweet.org

Thanks to decades of work by @NatlParkService, @GreatSmokyNPS, @USDOT, and the state of Tennessee, the Foothills Parkway will provide millions of visitors another reason to enjoy our outdoors. #NPSOnTheMove https://t.co/Rbg7ugdNEZ — PolitiTweet.org

To celebrate #EarthDay, is to celebrate America’s greatest treasures. In Tennessee some might say our greatest treasure is the @GreatSmokyNPS, which is the most visited national park in the country and welcomed a record-setting 11.4 million visitors in 2018. — PolitiTweet.org
