My statement concerning President @realDonaldTrump’s intent to fill the U.S. Supreme Court vacancy following the passing of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and @senatemajldr Mitch McConnell’s announcement that the Senate will vote on that nomination. https://t.co/ktGGXYdSC8 — PolitiTweet.org

Justice Ginsburg brought decency, intelligence and principle to the U.S. Supreme Court. Her life inspired many Americans, especially young women. Her service to our country deserves great respect. — PolitiTweet.org

Good news—the @USDOTFRA announced @RJCormanRR will receive a $2.2 million grant to help rehabilitate the Cumberland River Bridge, which will improve safety and efficiency while also benefitting the regional economy. — PolitiTweet.org

The time to finish fixing the #FAFSA is now, and I hope Congress passes @SenDougJones and my legislation to do so by the end of this year. https://t.co/fBjFmWwjhj — PolitiTweet.org

This year is the time to finish fixing the #FAFSA. https://t.co/kUeJKwLPcj — PolitiTweet.org

Our bill allows these students to apply for aid as independent students, making the application process for them much simpler. — PolitiTweet.org
Lamar Alexander @SenAlexander
And, it does something else that Senator @PattyMurray has been working on for 20 years—makes it easier for students who are homeless, in the foster system or not in touch with their parents. — PolitiTweet.org
Lamar Alexander @SenAlexander
So today, we’ve got a piece of legislation that would finish the job. It has broad bipartisan support and is based on recommendations that four of today’s witnesses gave us nearly seven years ago. — PolitiTweet.org
Lamar Alexander @SenAlexander
It makes no sense to discourage the very students Congress wants to encourage to attend college and benefit from federal financial aid. — PolitiTweet.org
Lamar Alexander @SenAlexander
After nearly seven years of work on these issues, it boils down to this: It makes no sense to make it this complicated to apply for federal aid for college. — PolitiTweet.org
Lamar Alexander @SenAlexander
The #FUTUREAct, which President @realDonaldTrump signed into law last year, reduced the #FAFSA by up to 22 questions and eliminated the bureaucratic nightmare created by requiring students to give the federal government the same information twice. https://t.co/ZhKm92iQhU — PolitiTweet.org
Lamar Alexander @SenAlexander
The @realDonaldTrump Administration created an app so students and families can file the FAFSA on their cell phones or tablets. — PolitiTweet.org
Lamar Alexander @SenAlexander
Senator Murray and I worked with the Obama Administration to allow students to fill out the FAFSA using their tax information from two years before they enroll in college, instead of one, so they could file in the fall, rather than having to wait until spring. — PolitiTweet.org
Lamar Alexander @SenAlexander
It’s not that Senator @PattyMurray and I haven’t been trying to help fix the FAFSA. — PolitiTweet.org
Lamar Alexander @SenAlexander
There was already an 8% drop in the number of black undergraduate students enrolled in summer sessions, compared with last summer’s enrollment, according to the @NSClearinghouse. — PolitiTweet.org
Lamar Alexander @SenAlexander
Many students are questioning their investment in a college education at a time when many classes are only offered online. Many of the low-income students who would benefit most economically from college long term are putting it off all together. — PolitiTweet.org
Lamar Alexander @SenAlexander
For years now, I’ve carted around the FAFSA as a prop to make the case for simplifying it – but it’s no joke, especially this year. https://t.co/4plICEzz36 — PolitiTweet.org
Sen. Lamar Alexander @SenAlexander
Sen. Alexander enjoyed having Madison Co. 4-H in his office today and talking abt. simplifying the #FAFSA http://t.co/kMsGVl30D9
Lamar Alexander @SenAlexander
Twenty million students and their families are in the middle of what is likely the strangest first semester of college in a century. Almost everything has changed for students – except for one thing – students still have to answer 108 questions on the dreaded FAFSA form. — PolitiTweet.org
Lamar Alexander @SenAlexander
The time to finish fixing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is now and I hope we can pass bipartisan legislation to do so by the end of this year. — PolitiTweet.org

Lamar Alexander @SenAlexander
I’m about to chair the Senate HELP hearing to discuss how Congress can simplify the FAFSA this year—to no more than 33 questions—by eliminating questions that hardly anyone responds to and aligning the form with data received from the IRS.

Katherine Crytzer has served for the last six years at the Justice Department as the Acting Deputy Assistant Attorney General for the Office of Legal Policy, and, before that, as an Assistant United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Kentucky. https://t.co/Y6lDPqClmK — PolitiTweet.org

Chuck Atchley is the First Assistant U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of TN & has spent nearly 20 yrs working on behalf of East Tennesseans in the federal court system. He is a man of good character, good temperament, high intelligence, & he has a high respect for the law. — PolitiTweet.org
Lamar Alexander @SenAlexander
I am grateful to President @realDonaldTrump for nominating Chuck Atchley and Katherine Crytzer to serve as U.S. District Judges for the Eastern District of Tennessee. They will represent Tennessee and our country well. — PolitiTweet.org

I commend the President @realDonaldTrump’s decision to rescind tariffs on aluminum imports from Canada, which will help continue to drive higher family incomes in Tennessee. https://t.co/4PcHYtH1Nf — PolitiTweet.org
Lamar Alexander @SenAlexander
With more than 900 plants in 87 of our 95 counties, and one-third of our state’s manufacturing jobs being auto jobs, Tennessee is likely to be hurt more than any other state by these tariffs, which is why I opposed them when they were announced in August. — PolitiTweet.org
Lamar Alexander @SenAlexander
The Trump Administration announced it will rescind tariffs on aluminum imports from Canada. This decision is good news for the 136,000 auto workers in Tennessee who are hurt by aluminum tariffs. Tariffs are taxes, pure and simple. They make what we buy and sell more expensive. — PolitiTweet.org

Congratulations to @TVAnews on being named a “Top 10 Employer” for its support of U.S. military veterans in the workforce. This is the fifth consecutive year @Mil_Friendly has given TVA this recognition. — PolitiTweet.org
