    *WSJ News: Betsy DeVos resigns. She tells Trump the Capitol Hill riot was an "inflection point" and his rhetoric contributed to it.

        Betsy DeVos just jumped ship like a bougie rat after destroying our already broken educational system in America. I think we're supposed to be grateful, but I loathe her with the fire of a thousand suns. Nevertheless, I'll just try and take this small win for the moment... pic.twitter.com/9mE7taQ3PB
